(d) Negotiated replenishments for funding core budgets.

All that is conferred is core funding for services provided by medical practitioners, with funding for non core services left to the Province's discretion.

B. Core regular resource funding multi year financing frameworks and assessed contributions

Core unit funding was increased by the Executive Committee at its forty sixth meeting

The United Nations system for development cooperation required adequate, predictable and stable funding, and a better balance must be struck between core and non core contributions.

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.

Any failure to approve core funding along the lines requested would inevitably have unacceptable programmatic implications.

Those were core activities of the Organization and should receive adequate funding in the regular budget.

As the funding of core capacities becomes dependent primarily on supplementary funding, maintaining the basic technical and programming capacity of United Nations entities becomes increasingly difficult.

Sufficient and predictable funding through the core budget for core activities mandated by the Parties is essential for the timely delivery and high quality of these activities.

These new approvals attracted significant non core resources from other development partners with joint funding from UNDP.

Funds and programmes seeking to increase the reliability of core funding could consider introducing a system of assessed contributions for meeting core expenses that guarantee their basic functioning.

The Institute's reliance on United Nations regular budget funding for most of its core requirements had been increasing.

Thus a multi year funding mechanism for the system was needed, and the importance of core resources must be emphasized.

The increase in the core resources of some United Nations agencies was welcome, but overall funding remained insufficient, unpredictable and unstable.

Simultaneously, agencies should devote institutional core resources to gender mainstreaming and women's empowerment, and not rely on extrabudgetary funding for this.

However, the Committee notes that INSTRAW continues to rely on United Nations regular budget funding for most of its core requirements.

The Co financing and Partnership Section aims to ensure full funding of UNODC's technical assistance programme and its core infrastructure costs.

Predictable funding of rent and maintenance cost and its relation to the core training programme for international cooperation and multilateral diplomacy

CEB should set up an inter agency task force to deal with the issue of fund raising for extrabudgetary non core funding

Reform of the United Nations system should be accompanied by a substantial and sustained increase of earmarked core funding for operational activities.

(d) UN Habitat has also encouraged the development of multi year core funding arrangements by donors that increase the predictability of their support.

But commensurate additional core funding had not been forthcoming, while other parts of the multilateral system had been provided with significantly increased resources.

The core staff in Paris help as a hub between the funding bodies (Multilateral Fund and the Global Environment Facility) and the regions.

At the same time, the fungibility of funding between regular budget and extrabudgetary resources remains a key issue for most specialized agencies, which are increasingly depending on unpredictable supplementary funding to maintain their critical core machinery.

116. Requests the executive boards of the United Nations funds, programmes and specialized agencies to review the issue of cost recovery to ensure that core resources do not subsidize the projects undertaken through non core supplementary extrabudgetary funding

An appropriate application of multi year financing frameworks may mitigate this problem by establishing a strategic framework that covers both core and supplementary funding.

While recognizing the complementary value of non core resources, the General Assembly, in its resolution 59 250, sent a clear signal that supplementary contributions should not be a substitute for core resources .8 This call has not, as yet, been adhered to so far, as indicated above, the increased volume of supplementary funding has not been additional to regular resources, and supplementary funding has, in some cases, taken the place of adequate regular funding.

Taking note of the report of the Secretary General,A 62 140. in which he stated that the Regional Centre's ability to fulfil its mandate continued to be hampered by the lack of funding, in particular core funding,

I also urge Member States to increase core funding and reduce the proportion of earmarked funds so as to help increase coherence in the system.

The funding of the UNODC biennial budget, including core infrastructure and technical assistance programmes, is for 90 per cent dependent on voluntary contributions from donors.

It called for greater linkage between the advocacy instruments and other programmes and advisory services of UN Habitat and for increased core funding for the global campaigns.

The voluntary scale applies to the Environment Fund, which finances UNEP's core programme of work, while additional funding is secured through trust funds and other earmarked contributions.

UNITAR is totally self funding and does not receive any contributions from United Nations core funds, nor does it charge any fees to the beneficiaries of its programmes.

It has not been possible to incorporate in the proposed core programme budget all of the required work, meaning that some work will continue to depend on supplementary funding.

The delivery of the work programme would benefit immensely if Parties would choose to render the funding sufficient and predictable by including the respective activities in the core budget.

Despite the different core funding modalities adopted by funds and programmes, the specialized agencies and other United Nations entities, all of them face the same challenge of securing a steadily growing flow of resources for their core budgets that will allow them to meet new expanding requirements.

The main source of funding is the core Convention budget, but the generous contributions of Parties to the Trust Fund for Supplementary Activities have been crucial for much of this work.

This brings up the broader issue of whether the legislative scheme is discriminatory, since it provides non core services to some groups while denying funding for ABA IBI therapy to autistic children.

These resources effectively serve as the core of an inter divisional programme of technical assistance activities that relies mainly upon extrabudgetary resources, provided by bilateral, multilateral and United Nations system funding agencies.

The extent to which the multi year financing framework can serve to advance the enhanced predictability of core funding that the framework allows is linked to the multi year nature of this instrument.

It has reduced programming levels to bring the outstanding programme commitments against core resources to less than one half of the level of the allowed outstanding commitments ceiling, using the partial funding formula.

These activities focus on three main objectives mobilization of resources for the core activities under the Convention, broadening the funding base for implementation of the Convention and information systems, knowledge sharing and communication strategy.

Governments in a position to do so are encouraged to strengthen the United Nations Habitat and Human Settlements Foundation by providing non earmarked, predictable funding and regular budget resources for its core programme activities.

The 2004 TCPR emphasized that funding of operational development activities for the United Nations system should focus on long term development and that core resources continue to be the bedrock of United Nations operational activities.
