107. The provision under Chapter 4 has been fully protected from the ZRG level in the PWB.
108. This takes account of Governing Bodies’ directives concerning the TCP (e.g. Conference Resolution 9/89), the consistent expressions of support from beneficiary countries and the critical, often catalytic role of TCP assistance, as was fully explained in the PWB document.
109. Concerns by some Members that resources are not being fully utilized should be alleviated in the light of recent results. The following statistics show a major upturn in delivery as a proportion of the Appropriation, signalling an end to the problems which were mostly related to the settling in of decentralization.

110. In addition, it should be noted that the current rate of approvals has risen to a level which cannot be matched by the Appropriation. For example, in 2002-03, approvals totalled US$ 113 million versus an Appropriation of US$ 89.2 million. Obviously, the current level of the Appropriation is not sufficient, which adds to the justification for full protection of the level in the ZRG scenario.
