Commonwealth countries take part either as suppliers or recipients in many assistance programmes, some of which are intra-Commonwealth while others involve co-operation with non-Commonwealth countries or the UN and its agencies. The purely intra-Commonwealth programmes include the Special Commonwealth African Assistance Plan (SCAAP), the Commonwealth Caribbean Assistance Programme, the various schemes for Commonwealth Education Co-operation, the Colonial Development and Welfare Programmes, the Overseas Service Aid and similar schemes, and the Australia South Pacific Aid Programme. The Commonwealth is associated with non-Commonwealth countries in such programmes as the Colombo Plan, the economic parts of the South East Asia Treaty Organisation, and the Indian General Cultural Scholarship Scheme.
