(SUB-PROGRAMME 2312)9
9 FAO's Regular Programme is financed through assessed contributions of its 174 Member Countries, one Associated Member and one Member Organization. These activities are complemented by the Field Programme, financed by extra-budgetary resources provided by a range of donors (see Appendix 5).
The attached tables show FAO Regular Programme (RP) expenditure in the forest genetic resources field in the biennia 1992/93 and 1994/95. Information on RP expenditure up to, and including the biennium 1990/91, was published in Appendix 4 of the Report of the 8th Session of the Panel.
The figures include:
(i) Collaboration with national institutes, through direct financial support to exploration and to seed collection, despatch; in situ and ex situ conservation; and establishment and evaluation of field trials;(ii) Expenditure for consultancies; or contractual services in support of specific studies related to forest genetic resources;
(iii) Expenditure for the dissemination of information;
(iv) Meeting costs and expenditure related to fellowships.
A summary sheet is also provided, showing sub-totals for the above items.
Extra-budgetary resources, acquired in direct support of FAO Regular Programme activities and administrated directly by the Forest Resources Division, are shown in the tables in brackets. RP funds from other units of FAO, administrated by the Forest Resources Division, are marked **.
The tables thus contain details on expenditures which bear direct relation to the work and the recommendations of the FAO Panel of Experts on Forest Gene Resources. They do not include staff time and related travel; nor funding related to the FAO Field Programme, administrated by the TCO-5 (the former Forestry Operations Service) and technically backstopped by the technical divisions of the Forestry Department.
RP expenditure for staff time for the biennium 1994/95 included some 60% of one P4 Forestry Officer (presently this post is occupied by Mr. O. Souvannavong), and part-time secretarial assistance (the balance of Mr. Souvannavong's time being spent on backstopping of field programmes); it further included a proportion of the time of Chief FORM (presently, Ms. C. Palmberg-Lerche, D1) who, according to programming, spent an estimated 10-15% of her time on support to RP forest genetic resources activities. A small percentage is spent by the Senior Forestry Officer (Plantations), P5 and the Forestry Officer (Forest Management), P4. In addition, the activities were supported, through Extra Budgetary (Danish) funding, by the services of an Associate Professional Officer (presently C. Pilegaard Hansen, P2).
