Mr. Kamp has had considerable experience with UNDP both atHeadquarters and in the Field since his recruitment by the Organizationin 1966. He is currently serving as Deputy Resident Representative inViet Nam where he is deeply involved in the agricultural sector of ourprogramme which, as will be the case in Lao People's Democratic Republic,is a most important component of our programme. In addition, Mr. Kampwas previously assigned to Lao People's Democratic Republic from 1966to 1969 as Assistant Resident Representative.

Unforeseen recent develop-ments have, however, necessitated a change of plans, and I nowwish to nominate Mr. Cesar Miquel (Argentina), whose curriculumvitae is attached as an alternative candidate.

Mr. Miquel joined UNDP in 197 as Assistant ResidentRepresentative in Honduras. In 1976 he became Deputy ResidentRepresentative first in Bolivia and later in Chile, his currentposting.

UNDP Representation in the South Pacific


In my memorandum of 23 July 1979 I had submitted thenomination of Mr. Henry Maggs for the vacant post of RegionalRepresentative in the South Pacific.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this move has notmaterialized and I would now like to propose the alternativecandidature of Mr. Arthur Holcombe (USA) whose CurriculumVitae is attached.

Mr. Holcombe' s entire professional career which "beganin 1965 has been in the service of UNDP. After working forten years at Headquarters on programme evaluation and analysis,Mr. Holcombe was assigned in 1975 to the Field as DeputyResident Representative in Afghanistan. He is currently servingin the same capacity in Pakistan.

By virtue of his experience at Headquarters and in theField, I consider Mr. Holcombe to be a most suitable candidateto fill the post of Regional Representative of UNDP in theSouth Pacific.

Your early clearance of this proposal would be mostappreciated.

RA

I called Anstee*s office to check re their concurrenceto the appointment of Bernander as Executive Agent, MekongSecretariat,

Miss Anstee called back herself. She had thought of callingyou before but, Knowing how busy you were with Iran, hadrefrained.

She said that TCDC had never been asked for a formal approval.However, Joseph had called her to ask whether he could sayto you that she thought Bernander would be a good person forthe job. She replied that yes, he could say that. Youshould be warned however that there might be difficulties.

Anstee does not know Bernander well, but has heard very goodreports on him. With Morse she had in the past reviewedcandidates for this post and Bernander seemed to be the onlyperson who could measure up.

In January she attended the Ministerial Meeting of the Mekongand was approached by the Thais, and particularly the Laotians,and briefly the grmdc Vietnamese, expressing their concern asto who would be appointed; they were very concerned thatVan der Oord was leaving; she has written to one of theLaotians telling him that she had heard very good thingsabout Bernander.

It became very clear to her when she was in the area that amajor reason for Van der Oord's success was his personalityand that he had their confidence. He is a hard act to follow.Bernander is a very low key person and she wonders whetherhe has the personality needed. Furthermore Anstee doe^notfeel Miat Bernander will be accepted point blank. They mayvery well request a slate of o adidates.

If the situation in Kampuchea ever gets normalized, theMekong project could acquire even greater importance thanin the past.

If you have time she would like to talk to you about thematter.

With the proposed reassignment of Mr. Walter Holzhausen to Nigeria,I would like to submit the name of Mr. Alfred Mubanda (Uganda) whosecurriculum yitae is attached, as Resident Representative in Ghana.

After a long and successful career in the service of his Government,Mr. Mubanda joined UNDP in 1975 as Area Officer in the Regional Bureaufor Africa. He was assigned two years later to his present post ofSpecial Assistant to the Assistant Administrator and Regional Directorfor Africa. In the exercise of these functions, Mr. Mubanda has provento be a highly qualified and capable administrator. I therefore believethat by reason of his general background and experience with UNDP andpreviously with his Government, Mr. Mubanda would be an excellentcandidate for this anticipated vacancy in Ghana.

I am pleased to advise that following discussions with the Governmentof Barbados, arrangements are being made for the establishment of a UHDPOffice and the appointment of a Resident Representative in Barbados.

To fill this post, I wish to put forward the candidature ofMr. Trevor Gordon-Somers (Jamaica).

Mr. Gordon-Somers1 service with UNDP over the past fourteen yearsat Headquarters and in the Field, where he is currently serving as ResidentRepresentative in Guyana, make him most suitable to be the first ResidentRepresentative in Barbados.

The post of Resident Representative in the United Republic of Tanzaniawill soon become vacant upon the reassignment of Mr. Ahmed Kabbah to UNDPHeadquarters in New York.

As his replacement, I would like to submit the candidature of Mr. KwafoApeadu (Ghana) who was originally proposed for the Zambia post (my memorandumof 23 July 1979 refers).

I consider that Mr. Apeadu's background and experience with UNDP sinceand previously for ten years with EGA render him highly qualified for

this assignment.
