The table below provides information on the estimated resource requirements for post and non post resources (inter alia, consultants and experts, operating expenses, travel etc.).

Table 2 Cost estimates design development phase

During 1996 1997, the Unit planned, implemented and monitored about 40 shipping services estimated at 30 million and for 1997 1998 approximately 30 shipments estimated at approximately 15 million.

The additional resources under this heading are attributable to increased requirements for freight forwarding, customs clearance services and the higher cost of inland transportation, as well as the increased cost of the external audit of UNFICYP, as estimated by the Board of Auditors.

In view of the above, the cost estimate provides for the replacement of 167 vehicles at a cost of 8,254,125, including freight.

The cost for freight was lower than estimated, resulting in an unutilized balance of 29,500.
