These amounts consist of core and non core resources.

Core resources for development

Non core resources more than doubled, while core resources grew at a much slower pace.

Goal 4 Core and non core resources aligned with commitments

(b) Proportionality core resources will not be used to subsidize management of non core resources and

These resources will be generated by charging a fixed percentage, aligned with the UNDP cost recovery policy, on all core and non core programme resources, thus ensuring full proportionality between core and non core resources.

Both core and non core resources are needed to support gender mainstreaming.

Any increase of non core resources should be additional to core resources and the United Nations should remain central for mobilization and allocation of resources.

While total funding from core and non core resources has increased modestly in recent years, the share of core resources in overall resources has declined and now constitutes less than half of the total.

The core resources available have declined more sharply than total resources.

Non core resources also experienced steady growth.

15. Together, this information confirms that, while non core and other resources have increased, core resources are either stagnant or declining.

It is expected that the core resources under the global programme will provide an opportunity to leverage significant additional non core resources.

The strategy aims at assuring increased core resources and finding a means of increasing burden sharing among donors to UNICEF core resources.

Core activities are funded from general purpose resources.

Therefore, while UNDP welcomed the increase in contributions of non core resources, it believed that core resources should remain central to UNDP activities.

However, since they were unpredictable such resources could not replace traditional core resources.

in 1996, total resources mobilized as contributions (core and non core) were approximately US 2 billion.

For the previous cycle (1992 1996), the core resources were 57 million and non core 175 million.

(b) In operative paragraph 12, the words quot decline in core resources, where this has occurred, and of the increase in non core resources, where this has occurred and further requests the Secretary General to make recommendations on how best to implement quot were replaced by the words quot recent trends in core and non core resources and to make recommendations on how to increase core resources and effectively implement quot .

The core programme resources for the current programme cycle amount to 94.5 million, with approved non core resources estimated as of mid 1998 at 149 million.

21. Notes the increase in non core resources, including cost sharing, trust funds and non traditional sources of financing, as a mechanism to supplement the means of operational activities for development, contributing to an increase in total resources, while recognizing that non core resources are not a substitute for core resources

They underscored that core resources were essential for the Fund's stability.

a From 1991 to 1995 core and other resources not available.

In many practice areas, UNDP has to demonstrate that it commits core funds in order to attract non core resources.

5 See A 60 74 E 2005 57 for a thorough analysis of the trends in core and non core resources.

Delegations expressed their satisfaction with the continued steady rise in core and non core resources and the general positive financial outlook.

The total programme expenditure from core and non core resources in 2004 was 21.0 million, up from 16.7 million the year before.

The ratio of core to non core resources is expected to be around 1 6 on the programme side for 2005 2007.

(a) Rapid growth in predictable, multi year programme resources, also used as a basis for mobilizing non core resources

20. Notes the increase in non core resources as a mechanism to supplement the means of operational activities for development of the United Nations system, which contributes to an increase in total resources, while recognizing that non core resources are not a substitute for core resources and that unearmarked contributions are vital for the coherence and harmonization of the operational activities for development

With regard to core and non core funding, UNDP believed that co financing should be a key aspect of development cooperation and that core resources were the lifeblood of UNDP operations.

Since core resources are limited, UNDP should resume vigorous fundraising for this purpose.

Total core and non core resources available to UNICEF amounted to 1,006 million in 1994, 1,007 million in 1995 and 941 million in 1996.

In that connection the increasing imbalance between core and non core contributions and the proliferation of earmarked resources were causes for concern in the case of UNICEF, for example, core resources comprised only 43 per cent of total resources and although core resources had risen by 30 per cent between 2000 and 2003 much of that increase had been due to bigger contributions from the private sector, while the contributions by Governments had risen by only 17 per cent.

He also stressed the crucial importance of increased general purpose contributions, emphasizing that those resources needed to be viewed as core funding required to ensure core infrastructure and core staff for mandated programmes.

A better balance was also needed, with the resources directed primarily to core activities.

The headquarters dialogue with donor agencies will typically cover both core and supplementary resources.

The resources available consequently derive primarily from the core of their regular budget financing.

20. Notes that non core resources represent an important supplement to the regular resource base of the United Nations development system to support operational activities for development, thus contributing to an increase in total resources, while recognizing that non core resources are not a substitute for core resources and that unearmarked contributions are vital for the coherence and harmonization of the operational activities for development

Given that overdependence on such resources could jeopardize programme implementation, the commissions' core mandates must be funded primarily through assured resources.

In addition, problems remained in the process of financing, such as resource unpredictability and instability and an increasing imbalance between core and non core resources.

To be effective in gender mainstreaming, UNDP should allocate sufficient funding from core resources for staffing, training and programmes, in addition to raising non core funds.
