ISCOS’ Budget is prepared by the Secretary General and faired by the Technical Committee on Finance and Administration which is constituted by Finance and Budget Experts from the Member States. The draft budget is approved by the Assembly (Council of Ministers) on recommendation of the Coordination Committee. The total appropriation is divided equally among the four Member States, who service their budget quotas either through direct exchequer remittance, service charge, or by use of any other appropriate means.
The Organization’s activities also attract financial support from Development Partners who continue to partner with ISCOS on various programmes, especially in carrying out research on topical areas, sensitization programmes, and many other trade facilitation initiatives.
