The provision of $184,000 outlined in paragraph 3 above which was included in the
proposed programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009 is proposed to offset the estimated
requirements of $252,400 for the Social Forum, outlined in paragraph 2 above. It is estimated
therefore that an additional amount of $68,400 will be required for the biennium 2008-2009 to
provide for conference servicing and the travel and daily subsistence allowance of four thematic
procedures mandate-holders, as follows: under section 2, $52,400; under section 23, $15,000;
and under section 28E, $1,000.
5.
Although it is anticipated that an additional amount of $68,400 will be required for
the biennium 2008-2009 under sections 2, 23 and 28E, no additional resources will be requested
at this juncture, in light of the continuing review by the Council of its subsidiary machinery in
response to General Assembly resolution 60/251. The consolidated statement of requirements
arising from the continuing review by the Council and potential absorptive capacity from
reduced requirements arising from the amended programme of work under the proposed
programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009 will be reported to the General Assembly.
