Field Office County Contracts/Agreements

When PLAN decided to establish field offices and programs in a particular country, it attempted to negotiate what it called a "country agreement" with the government of the host country. This country agreement delineated the obligations and responsibilities of the host country and PLAN and outlined in general terms what PLAN hoped to accomplish in the country and how it intended to proceed. Though PLAN had a standard format for country agreements, the format was often modified to fit local circumstances.

Once country agreements were in place, PLAN established one or more field offices in the country. The establishment of field offices included negotiating leases for office space and living accommodations for international staff. Because of the many differences in business practices and local customs, negotiations for leases were frequently involved and protracted and generated considerable correspondence between the field office and International Headquarters concerning the terms and conditions of such leases.

The records in this series document the negotiations for country agreements and office and residential leases and include correspondence, memos, contracts, leases, country agreements, drafts of country agreements, memoranda of agreement, and legal opinions. The records are arranged alphabetically by the name of the program country, alphabetically thereunder by the name of the field office, and chronologically within folders.
