Introduction by the Director-General
I
n mid-July 2007, the second version of the proposed Draft Programme and Budget for the bien-
nium 2008-2009 (34 C/5, second version) was published. As requested by the Executive Board
(see 34 C/6), that version was built on a single budget ceiling, for which I chose US $648.3 million
(representing zero-real growth), taking into account the debates and discussions at the 176th session
of the Executive Board.
The initial submission of draft document 34 C/5, presenting four budget scenarios with zero-real growth
of $648.3 million as core scenario, refl ected the extensive consultations that had taken place since the
middle of 2006, including regional meetings of National Commissions, replies by Member States to a
written questionnaire, comments by the Executive Board on my preliminary proposals and a review of
draft document 34 C/5 by the Executive Board.
In order for UNESCO to sharpen its focus and approach, conscious efforts were made in the second
version of draft document 34 C/5 to place special emphasis on intersectorality and interdisciplinarity, give
priority to Africa and gender equality, elaborate an innovative framework for the science programmes,
strengthen our decentralized fi eld approach and facilitate regular monitoring and reporting of programmes
at all levels.
The single-budget scenario in the second version aimed to solidify the Organization's capacity to respond
to major challenges at global, regional and national levels and to deliver with competence. It also sought
to meet the expectations of Member States and UNESCO's stakeholders with regard to the Organization's
role and responsibilities in terms of policy advice and capacity-building, normative and standard-setting
activities, monitoring and benchmarking activities and its contribution to joint and coherent efforts by
the United Nations system.
Furthermore, the zero-real growth budget proposal aimed to overcome the zero-nominal growth policy
of past biennia by preserving the overall purchasing power of the budget, as has been the practice at
other specialized agencies of the United Nations system. It would have maintained the Organization's
capacity to implement the same volume of activities as in document 33 C/5 and enabled UNESCO to
live up to the challenging responsibilities in its fi elds of competence.
However, recognizing that some Member States would be opposed to that scenario and that any consensus
on the $648.3 million scenario was unlikely, I decided to prepare a new scenario based on the minimum
requirements of the Organization. This equates to my proposing a budget scenario of $631 million.
To be sure, this does not refl ect what I and the majority of Member States believe is necessary, but it
nevertheless would amount to a nominal increase of 3.4%. This would send a positive signal by marking
a break with the extremely damaging zero-nominal growth cycle of the past. Any scenario below $631
million would jeopardize UNESCO's ability to live up to the expectations of Member States and to fulfi l
its mission.

This Corrigendum sets out the budgetary envelope and the programmatic adjustments I propose within
the framework of a $631 million budget scenario. These should be seen as a mixture of both cuts and
strategic readjustments. They take into account the discussions of the Executive Board at its 176th session
and at its July Information Meeting, as well as the deliberations of the Board's Drafting Group on items
24 and 25. They also refl ect developments that have taken place since preparations for the Programme
and Budget began, in particular the accelerating progress of United Nations reform.
The impact of the newly proposed resource level on programme content, delivery and expected results
will also be explained in this Corrigendum. Allocations to support services have been reduced almost to
their respective zero-nominal growth level. The overall allocations to each of the fi ve programme sectors
and the central services have been reduced from their respective levels in the zero-real growth scenario.
Programme sectors have made every effort to economize while preserving the existing number of posts
in the fi eld and even creating a small number of new fi eld posts. The same level of resources will however
be maintained, to the extent possible, in the following fi ve key areas:
(a) modernization of management tools;
(b) strengthening of personnel policy, in particular the establishment of the Ethics Offi ce;
(c) closer collaboration with the organizations of the United Nations system;
(d) strengthened decentralization system; and
(e) more attention to Africa.
In addition, in the spirit of 176 EX/Decision 39, I have decided to establish a Bureau of the Comptroller
(BOC) as a new central service in order to strengthen internal fi nancial control. This new Bureau will
consist of the former Division of the Comptroller in the Administration Sector (ADM/DCO). This change
will be fully refl ected in document 34 C/5 Approved.
With this proposed $631 million budget, since document 30 C/5 Approved, I will have abolished
336 permanent posts at Headquarters, which is more than 21% of the staff complement at Headquarters,
while establishing 142 fi eld posts, thus increasing fi eld staff by nearly 27%. At the same time, I will have
increased the relative weight of appropriations for activities and have concentrated the programmes. All
of this will have been achieved while concomitantly effecting reforms.

Introduction
iv
Each major programme has identifi ed how UNESCO can fulfi l its different roles and responsibilities
at the global, regional and country levels, in particular in the areas of (i) policy advice and institu-
tional capacity-building; (ii) normative and standard-setting activities, including refl ection of norma-
tive- operational linkages, especially at the country level; (iii) monitoring and benchmarking respon-
sibilities; and (iv) its contribution in support of national development plans, through participation in
common country programming exercises by United Nations country teams. It is my fi rm belief that this
programme and budget will allow UNESCO to position itself at the core of the United Nations agenda
and contribute proactively to country-led development efforts in cooperation with other members of
United Nations country teams.
Let me also take this opportunity to reconfi rm certain key elements of draft document 34 C/5, second
version:
ß

The policy direction and focus provided by the draft Medium-Term Strategy for 2008-2013 (draft
34 C/4), as proposed to be amended in document 34 C/11, through its overarching objectives and
strategic programme objectives is translated in draft document 34 C/5 into more concrete thematic
and policy-style approaches.
ß

In response to the overarching objectives and strategic programme objectives identifi ed in draft docu-
ment 34 C/4, a limited set of biennial sectoral priorities with measurable goals has been formulated
thereby ensuring a seamless transition between UNESCO's medium-term and biennial programmes.
ß

These biennial sectoral priorities have then been developed into a small number of main lines of action,
whose overall number has been signifi cantly reduced compared to document 33 C/5.
ß

Intersectorality and interdisciplinarity have been given special emphasis in draft document 34 C/5,
refl ecting one of UNESCO's key comparative advantages within the United Nations system, namely its
ability to respond to complex problems in a comprehensive and substantively appropriate manner.
ß

A number of priority themes and challenges calling for a concerted and comprehensive response by
the Organization have accordingly been identifi ed as intersectoral platforms and are summarized in a
separate chapter of draft document 34 C/5, second version.
ß

Draft document 34 C/5 is also responsive to the two programme priorities identifi ed in draft document
34 C/4: Africa and gender equality. These priorities have been built into all programme components
and are visibly refl ected for each major programme.
ß

Draft document 34 C/5 is built on the principle of RBM (results-based programming, management,
monitoring and reporting). For each major programme, information on strategies to be followed during
implementation is given for the biennial sectoral priority level only. Main lines of action focus on
the presentation of expected results and performance indicators and, where necessary, of benchmark
targets.
ß

Draft document 34 C/5 solidifi es and advances the broader reform agenda of UNESCO in the areas
of decentralization and management, which has been given fresh impetus in the context of United
Nations reform.

ORRIGENDUM
Introduction
ß

At the country level, UNESCO is positioning its fi eld system to deliver effectively on the commitment
to coherence, effi ciency and improved performance within a coordinated United Nations response to
country needs and priorities, and to contribute to United Nations reform at large.
ß

Appropriations will henceforth be made at the major programme level. This allows for a better concen-
tration of the Organization's work, enhanced fl exibility in implementation both at Headquarters and
at the fi eld level and a simplifi cation of procedures.
I have held intensive informal consultations with several Member States to identify a budget scenario that
might secure a full consensus. While conscious of the overwhelming support among Member States for
a budget ceiling of $648.3 million, I fi rmly believe that all efforts should be deployed to avoid causing a
division among the Members, which have traditionally espoused consensus. In my view, such consensus
is paramount for harmonious interaction among Member States and for effective implementation of
document 34 C/5. I am gratifi ed that the Chairman of the Executive Board expressed a similar sentiment
at the July 2007 Information Meeting of the Executive Board.
Here, I wish to express my strong hope that the new $631 million scenario, which refl ects the Organization's
minimum requirements, will be approved by consensus, so as to provide the solid basis and framework
required for the delivery of the Organization's programme in the next two years. Let me reaffi rm that I
stand ready to do my utmost to ensure the most effective, high-quality implementation by the Secretariat
of the programme approved by the General Conference.

Draft Appropriation Resolution
Assessment
(i)
The appropriations authorized under paragraph (a) above shall be fi nanced by assessments on Member
States. The assessments on Member States will accordingly amount to $631,000,000.
Currency fl uctuation
(j)
The appropriation under paragraph (a) above is expressed at the constant dollar rate of one United States
dollar to 0.869 euro, hence expenditure against this appropriation will also be recorded at that same
constant dollar rate. The differences arising from recording expenditure incurred during the fi nancial
period in euros at varying operational rates of exchange as compared with the constant rates will be
recorded as gains or losses on exchange. Likewise, Member States' contributions in euros will be brought

Paragraph 00100 b) should read:
b) to allocate for this purpose an amount of $23,185,100 for activities and $21,122,800 for
staff costs.
Summary of programmatic impacts
$631M scenario vs. $648.3M scenario (34 C/5, 2nd version)
The reduction in the resources for the General Conference and the Executive Board will affect the level
of language and documentation services that can be provided during meetings, especially as regards the
volume and distribution of documents. The slight increase in resources to the Directorate will be allocated
to staff travel. For IOS, the decrease would result in reduction in the number and frequency of evaluations/
audits carried out during the biennium, as IOS would be deprived of the resources intended to contract
specialist support to enable it to come closer to delivering optimum evaluation and audit coverage as
established by the UNESCO evaluation strategy and the audit model. The decrease in funds will result
in Legal Affairs having fewer resources for carrying out its functions. As for the Ethics programme, it
will now be totally fi nanced from the regular budget. The small reduction in resources will be absorbed
by activity reductions mainly as regards temporary assistance and contractual services.

Summary of programmatic impacts
$631M scenario vs. $648.3M scenario (34 C/5, 2nd version)
As compared to the ZRG scenario ($648.3 million), Major Programme I will assume a budgetary reduc-
tion of 3% however with no reduction applied for the category 1 education institutes. This reduction
will impact the execution of programmes proposed under each main line of action (MLA) and will entail
adjustments in the conduct and outreach of certain activities, in the following manner:
MLA 1
 Global leadership in EFA, coordination of United Nations priorities in education and
development of strong partnerships
As the global coordinator and lead agency for EFA, UNLD, UNDESD and EDUCAIDS, UNESCO
will continue to fulfi ll its commitments and obligations vis-à-vis its partners and stakeholders.
The reduction of funds will translate into a smaller number of countries affecting the impact and
reach of the Global Action Plan (GAP) and a more limited support to pilot projects for South-
South and North-South-South cooperation.
MLA 2
 Establishment of global frameworks and networks for capacity development in
planning and management of education systems
The activities proposed and results expected under this MLA will have to be scaled down, in
particular by reducing the number of countries piloting the methodological guidelines on capacity
development. Consequently, this will have a limiting impact on common approaches to capacity
development in education policy formulation and planning and monitoring of education systems
that could be shared by EFA stakeholders and development partners.
MLA 3
 Promote policy dialogue, research, norms and standards
Support for the convening of major policy dialogue events, namely the International Conference
on Education (ICE) and the World Conference on Higher Education + 10, will have to be reduced,
as will support for regional networks for monitoring learning achievements.

Summary of programmatic impacts
$631M scenario vs. $648.3M scenario (34 C/5, 2nd version)
As compared to the ZRG scenario ($648.3 million), Major Programme II will assume a budgetary reduc-
tion of 4.1% however with no implications for ICTP and UNESCO-IHE. This reduction will impact the
execution of programmes proposed under each main line of action (MLA) and will entail adjustments
in the conduct and outreach of certain activities, in the following manner:
MLA 1
 Water dependencies: systems under stress and societal responses
The freshwater education programme for sustainable development, a joint activity with MP I
and UNESCO-IHE under the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development
(DESD), will be reduced. This will also affect the scope of the intersectoral platform related to
education for sustainable development.
MLA 2
 Policy, research and learning networks for ecological and earth sciences
The following activities will be affected and may need to be scaled down:
ß
Participation in the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), being part of the
Organization's contribution to monitoring global climate change;
ß
Support for efforts to integrate the sustainable management and use of biological and mineral
resources into national plans and strategies for attaining the MDGs as well as related science
components into common country programming exercises;
ß
In the context of collaboration with CBD, information for policy-makers on past extinction
events and global environmental and biodiversity governance issues related to environmental
treaties;
ß
Events related to the United Nations Year of Planet Earth 2008 and the Year of Astronomy
2009.
MLA 3
 Oceans and coastal zones: improving governance and fostering intergovernmental

As a contribution to the Science and Technology Consolidated Plan of Action for
NEPAD, capacity-building in Africa will be reinforced (especially benefi ting the
capacity-building in science policy, science and technology education, and the estab-
lishment of an African Virtual Campus). On the other hand, the knowledge base related
to water resources will not be further enhanced. Furthermore, support to Member
States in formulating policies in science and technology will be curtailed, particularly
affecting the preparation of policy briefs and/or guidelines on evidence-based national
S&T policies.
MLA 6

Summary of programmatic impacts
$631M scenario vs. $648.3M scenario (34 C/5, 2nd version)
As compared to the ZRG scenario ($648.3 million), Major Programme III will assume a budgetary
reduction of 2.7%. This reduction will impact the execution of programmes proposed under each main
line of action (MLA) and will entail adjustments in the conduct and outreach of certain activities, in the
following manner:
MLA 1
 Promoting the ethics of science and technology
Activities will be adjusted and combined with other activities proposed under MLA 2, to consoli-
date UNESCO's advocacy and role as knowledge facilitator in relation to the ethics of science
and technology.
MLA 2
 Enhancing national and international action in the fi eld of bioethics
Available resources will be pooled together with those for MLA 1 to enable effective action in the
fi eld of bioethics, both at the national and international levels. However, the reduction in funding
will hinder the successful implementation of the Ethics Education programme, with respect to
the bioethics teaching programmes and the related database.
MLA 3
 Policy-oriented research in the social sciences
The reduction of funding will hinder the full implementation of the range of activities envisaged
in support of policy-oriented research in the fi elds of poverty eradication, migrations, urban
issues, youth and gender. In particular, pilot projects planned in Africa and Latin America and
the Caribbean will have to be limited to fewer countries.
MLA 4
 Research-policy linkages in the social sciences and strengthening of national

As compared to the ZRG scenario ($648.3 million), Major Programme IV will assume a budgetary
reduction of 5.8%. This modifi cation will impact the execution of programmes proposed under main
line of action (MLA) 1 and will entail adjustments in the conduct and outreach of certain activities under
MLAs 3, 5 and 6 (relating to programmes other than the Conventions of 1972, 2003 and 2005 for which
suffi cient resources have been earmarked to cover incompressible expenses in line with 175 EX/Decision
21), in the following manner:
MLA 1
 Protecting and conserving immovable cultural and natural properties, in particular
through the effective implementation of the World Heritage Convention
There will be no reduction in the resources for the World Heritage Centre envisaged under the
$631 million scenario. The staffi ng of the World Heritage Centre will be reinforced in response
to decision 31 COM 19 by the World Heritage Committee.
MLA 3
 Enhancing the protection of cultural objects, the fi ght against illicit traffi c in them,
and the development of museums as places for access to knowledge
The reduction will imply the discontinuation of advisory functions and assistance to Member
States in the revision and/or elaboration of legislation aimed at fi ghting illicit traffi c of cultural
objects and the protection of underwater cultural heritage, including related specialized training.
Staff cost reductions will not allow the implementation of a rotational staff scheme for three posts,
affecting opportunities for strengthening capacity-building or facilitating knowledge transfer in
this domain.
MLA 5
 Promoting the understanding and development of intercultural dialogue and
peace
The reduction will necessitate a discontinuation of some ongoing activities in the area of inter-
cultural dialogue, in particular those related to indigenous peoples and inter-religious dialogue.
While cooperation with the Secretariat of the Alliance of Civilizations will be strengthened, certain
innovative activities to implement some recommendations by the High-level Group of the Alliance
of Civilizations, especially those related to youth, media and migration, will have to be cut back.
In this regard, UNESCO will also not be in a position to launch new initiatives to intercultural
dialogue at the regional level.

programming exercises, especially in countries where UNESCO is non-resident.
Training to strengthen national capacities will likewise have to be curtailed.

Corrigendum to the Draft Resolution for Major Programme V
Communication and information
(34 C/5, 2nd version Volume 1)
Paragraph 05000 b) should read:
b) to allocate for this purpose an amount of $12,682,900 for activities and $19,237,000 for
staff costs.
Summary of programmatic impacts
$631M scenario vs. $648.3M scenario (34 C/5, 2nd version)
As compared to the ZRG scenario ($648.3 million), Major Programme V will assume a budgetary
reduction of 5.5%. This reduction will impact the execution of programmes proposed under each main
line of action (MLA) and will entail adjustments in the conduct and outreach of certain activities, in the
following manner:
MLA 1
 Promoting an enabling environment for freedom of expression and freedom of
information
The reduction in resources will prevent activities aimed at enhancing the accountability, ethical
and professional standards in journalism from being carried out.
MLA 2
 Fostering universal access to information
The resource cut will lead to the provision of support for the establishment of national policy
frameworks and international standards aimed at increasing information literacy to a smaller
number of countries.
MLA 3
 Promoting development of free, independent and pluralistic media
Programmes aimed at building the capacities of media professionals in Member States will be
reduced in scope and reach.
MLA 4
 Strengthening the role of communication and information in fostering mutual under-
standing, peace and reconciliation, particularly in open- and post-confl ict areas
Activities aimed at building partnerships with professional organizations in open and post-confl ict
and post-disaster situations will be scaled down.
MLA 5
 Fostering the development of infostructures
The reduction of funds allocated will constrain the outreach of the programme aimed at fostering
the use of ICTs in teaching and learning, and the application of ICTs as tools for the dissemina-
tion of scientifi c knowledge and preservation of cultural expression.

Paragraph 06000 2. should read:
2. Authorizes the Director-General to support the UNESCO Institute for Statistics by providing a
fi nancial allocation of $9,020,000.
Summary of programmatic impacts
$631M scenario vs. $648.3M scenario (34 C/5, 2nd version)
As a result of the reduction of $480,000 vs. the $648.3M scenario, or a 5.1% reduction in the fi nan-
cial allocation for UIS, the Institute will not have the means to maintain its full presence in the fi eld.
Therefore, two regional adviser posts may have to be discontinued, one in Latin America and one in
Africa. This will also negatively impact the ability of UIS to support the UNESCO Education Sector
reform process.

Summary of programmatic impacts
$631M scenario vs. $648.3M scenario (34 C/5, 2nd version)
The resources for this chapter are being maintained at the level envisaged for the ZRG scenario and
will even be modestly augmented to reinforce the operational capacities for the implementation of the
intersectoral platform for coordination of action to benefi t Africa. Particular focus will be given to
strengthening partnerships and inter-agency cooperation related to the implementation of the decisions

$631M scenario vs. $648.3M scenario (34 C/5, 2nd version)
The post of the Chief of Section for Women and Gender Equality in the Bureau of Strategic
Planning (BSP/WGE) is proposed to be reclassifi ed from P-5 to D-1. This adjustment refl ects
the priority to be allocated to activities pertaining to gender equality in the 34 C/4 and the 34
C/5 and is in line with the grade of comparable posts in the United Nations system.
The overall reduction in funds will lead to lower resources available for staff travel on offi cial
business, contractual services, general operating expenses, supplies and materials and other
expenditures.

could have been useful for the future development of results-based budgeting.

A reduction of $291,900 compared to the $648.3M scenario would entail an overall budget
decrease of 1.5%, which will hamper the effi cient delivery of expected results at a desirable
level for all ERC activities, including those concerning relations with National Commissions
or partnerships with UNESCO Clubs, Parliamentarians, the private sector and civil society at
large, at a time when UNESCO membership keeps steadily increasing as well as its outreach

a $500,000 reduction) and several modifi cations in their staff submission. Furthermore, staff travel to

34 C/5 2nd version Corrigendum
CORRIGENDUM

This document constitutes a corrigendum to "34 C/5 2nd version Corrigendum".
Following the decision of the Executive Board (176 EX/Decision 39) which urged the Director-
General to "strengthen the role of administrative officers and the Comptroller and clarify their
reporting lines and their accountability so as to assure their independence from line management
in the discharge of their internal financial control responsibilities", and as announced by his note
DG/Note/07/31 of 7 August 2007, the Director-General decided to transfer the Division of the
Comptroller (ADM/DCO) to status as an independent bureau under the central services of the
Organization as Bureau of the Comptroller (BOC).
In order further to reinforce the function of the Bureau of the Comptroller (BOC) related to its
responsibility for internal control, the Director-General has decided to create an additional post at
P-3 grade in the Quality Control Unit under the Bureau. The cost for the creation of the post will be
compensated by transferring the required funds from the activity budget within BOC. As these
decisions were taken after the publication of "34 C/5 2nd version Corrigendum", a modification is
required for the breakdown of the BOC budget between staff and activity costs. The modification
will apply to the overall summary table presented in the budget for Part III Support for
Programme Execution and Administration. The table should read as presented below.
At this stage, "34 C/5 2nd version Corrigendum" presents BOC within ADM as in 33 C/5 Approved,
as the decision of separating BOC from ADM was taken recently. Document 34 C/5 Approved
which will be published after the General Conference, however, will present BOC as an
independent Appropriation Line under the central services.
