In 1997, biennial support budget expenditures (provisional), including both headquarters and field office costs, were $58.3 million (net of $5.5 million in credits and income) or 20.1 per cent of the 1997 total estimated regular resource income of $290.1 million. Comparable administrative expenditures in 1996 were $52.8 million or 17.1 per cent of the 1996 income of $308.8 million. As of 1 January 1997, the total number of authorized budget posts numbered 919, comprising 329 Professional (including 141 national programme officers) and 590 General Service staff. These include 105 Professional and 135 General Service posts at headquarters, 2 Professional and 2 General Service posts in Geneva and 222 Professional and 453 local General Service posts in the field. The percentage of women on UNFPA’s Professional staff at headquarters and in the field was 46 per cent in 1997, one of the highest percentages among United Nations agencies and organizations. In 1998, the percentage is expected to continue to increase. In accordance with a subvention agreement approved by the Governing Council in 1988, UNDP and the United Nations provide UNFPA, on a reimbursable basis, with support for some services, such as, inter alia, administrative, financial and computer services; personnel administration, language training and travel services; security and legal services and certain services associated with the functioning of the Executive Board. In 1997, the reimbursement amounted to $2.6 million to UNDP and $1.2 million to the other United Nations agencies. |
