Social Sciences - International Org/Dev/Coop / Aid projects
Italian term or phrase: valorizzazioni
Text describing a series of projects. At the end of each one
'il progetto ha avuto un costo complessivo di xxxxx dei quali yyy di contribuzione italiana e zzz di valorizzazioni di parte (paese beneficiario). I know these 'valorizzazioni' are the monetary equivalent value of the services/material/time etc given to the project by the staff/organizations in the country, but I do not know the standard term in English for 'valorizzazioni'. It would be simpler just to say that e.g. out of 10 Italy contributed 7 and the other 3, but how to distinguish the not-necessarily-monetary nature of what the other country has given?
So far I have: the overall cost of the project was xxxx of which yyyy contributed by Italy and zzz .........
Many thanks to whoever can come up with the correct term!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Phil. It is contributions in kind (see my latest post on discussions), so long as one can give a $$ value to contributions in kind.
