Another constraining factor is the shortage of finance.

(c) Overall financial flows have expanded by 184 percent in the 1990s, particularly from the private sector, while official financial flows have decreased by 27 percent.

Depending on availability of funds, a small number of local language versions would also be produced (USD 156,000)

The lack of financial resources, however, still remains one of the most serious stumbling blocks.

Official financial flows have decreased by 27 percent since 1990.

Except for a slight increase in medium term and long term borrowing, the main categories of financial flows did not exhibit any major deviation from recent trends, i.e., there were smaller official inflows and there was very little foreign direct investment.

The scarcity of available funds for rehabilitation in comparison with those for emergencies was noted with concern by one delegation.

It is not clear at this time how much money the adaptation levy will generate.

The main shortcoming of the GEF's financial resources is that they are relatively modest, given the critical and complex environmental challenges they are being asked to address.

It was therefore regrettable that extrabudgetary funding and overall development aid had declined.

He expected that the carry over into 1999 under General Programmes would be minimal.

Thus, the money we are getting from aid is much, much less than we would earn from the removal of trade distortions.

The flow of international funds, though indispensable for reconstruction, cannot solve matters alone.

In 2004, the performance of UNCDF continued to be affected by the low level of contributions to its core resources.

For the last 10 years, UNRWA has also suffered from a persistent financial shortfall owing to the failure of Member States to commit sufficient funds.

I'm not bragging about how much we fund it's how little anyone else actually pays attention to aging and funds innovation on aging, chronic disease management and independent living in the home.

UNICEF internal liquidity guidelines recommend a year end regular resources convertible cash balance equal to at least 10 per cent of projected regular resources income for the following year.

And after the first two or three years, just as societies are beginning to develop the capacity to absorb resources and make the most use of them, financing tends to decline.

Recognizing that changing ODA priorities of some key donors have led to a reduced level of core resources and a reduction in burden sharing among OECD DAC donors, by mid 2005 UNCDF will have established a global UNCDF trust fund for investing in LDCs.

In particular, financing mechanisms at the regional level could reduce the dependence of developing countries on external financing sources.

Funding has rarely been channelled to the national desertification funds which some countries have established.

Neither is it unusual for at least one of the parties involved to be financing the conflict through drug money.

However, because of the scarcity of budgetary resources, other expenses should be kept to a minimum because there were simply no funds available to pay for them.

All we lack is the action to actually spend the money to put those into place.

Research in malaria and other tropical diseases receives very low levels of funding.

It also allows less competition between countries over financial resources.

Where those resources did not exist, they might be obtained through small local investments with the assistance of international funding institutions.

Total contributions for United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) regular resources decreased by 9.7 million, or 36 per cent, bringing the total amount received in 2004 to 17.2 million from 26.9 million in 2003.

Hospitals and health centres throughout the country are ill resourced and underfunded.

ODA financed development in sectors not reached by private flows, and the 0.7 per cent target have lost none of their importance.

There is a decrease of 14,000, which represents a provision for inflation after taking into consideration a negative resource growth of 40,300.

A more appropriate indicator in this case could be a reduction of delays in processing funding for approved purposes or a reduction in the number of negative or critical audit observations on the administration of funds.

Farmers living in areas where food security and resources are scarce lack financial capital.

Surplus funds substantially decreased following higher than anticipated spending in December 2004.

There is a severe lack of housing and arable land in the country and of the financial means to meet these needs.

(g) A reduction in the overall estimates by 300,000, comprising 200,000 in the Investment Management Service and 100,000 in the administrative costs of the Fund

As a result, public access to, and information about, the Fund's proceedings may be somewhat more difficult to obtain.

(a) The Foundation will be informed periodically and at least once a year by the Secretary General on the range of opportunities for funding.

(e) To support efforts to reduce capital flight and measures to curb the illicit transfer of funds.

Regarding financial flows, in 1995 about 80 per cent of foreign direct investment had gone to only a handful of developing countries.

The marginal increase of non core funds has not compensated adequately for the decline in core contributions by major donors.

(c) Scheduled reductions, provided MLF approves funds for second portion of project

The resources received from the traditional donor countries were not only not increasing, but were becoming scarcer and scarcer.
