PEP Funders and Supporters
PEP is a cost-sharing program. Operating expenses are funded by a grant from
the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs - US Department of State. The
Russian participants must also pay a percentage of the costs. Finally, a large
portion comes from the in-kind contributions of volunteers donating their
time for training and hosting.
The Productivity Enhancement Program has received endorsements from key bi-partisan
Congressional leaders and from President Clinton. Former Speaker of the House
Newt Gingrich of Georgia and House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt of Missouri
both persuaded their home states to host the first official PEP delegations.
