201. This chapter covers well established provisions for Governing Bodies, as well as a number of offices, principally at Headquarters, but also outside Rome (Liaison Offices). Some savings are still possible under Programme 1.1.1 on account of further efficiency gains. Due attention is paid to balanced language coverage (e.g. for Regional Conferences). The Conference, Council and Protocol Affairs Division (GIC) requires strengthening for improved translation services and handling of relationships with Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) - Programme 1.1.2. The major increase under this chapter is for replacement of the Programme Planning and Budgeting System (PLANSYS) under Programme 1.2.2. Finally, some increases are necessary under the Office of Director-General to regularise temporary posts; under the Office of the Inspector-General to enhance audit work; and for strengthening liaison and coordination work with the UN system under Programme 1.3.1, which are largely offset by reductions under Liaison Offices (Programme 1.3.2).

Sub-programme 1.1.2.1: Support to Governing Bodies and
Relations with Governments
203. This sub-programme covers the cost of the Secretariat for Conference and Council sessions, including preparation of agendas, coordination of documents' production, and provision of necessary procedural and logistical arrangements. It also includes management and production of official correspondence from the Director-General to senior levels of governments.
Sub-programme 1.1.2.2: Meeting Programming
and Documentation Services
204. This sub-programme deals with: meetings' planning; arrangement of meetings' facilities at Headquarters; provision of interpretation services and translation of documents into FAO languages, including terminology; final typing of translated documents; and internal printing of meetings' papers. GIC is facing an increase in translation volumes and interpretation at meetings in order to respond to the Conference's emphasis on more balanced use of FAO languages. This is partly being met by higher use of contractual services, and partly by re-configuring staff functions to enhance quality control of external work, hence an adjustment of resource levels to enable GIC to ensure the quality of language versions of often complex texts. The division will continue to introduce new technologies in all activities, including computer-assisted translation tools and new terminological software.
205. GIC will provide remote translation services from Headquarters to field locations for in-session production of required language versions of meetings' reports. Remote translation is planned for Regional Conferences and all major meetings held at locations with reliable communications infrastructures.
206. New technologies are also being introduced in GIC's central printing facilities at Headquarters, which produces all meetings' documents, large reports from corporate financial and personnel systems and other materials. The division plans to further extend the use of on-demand printing, thereby reducing the need for bulk printing of documents and long-term storage of publications.
207. Interpretation services and translation of documents and internal printing activities are carried out under two self-financing pool accounts. The expected level of resources to be managed through these pool accounts is in excess of US$ 14 million. These costs are to be recovered from the allocations provided under the pertinent programmes for meetings and publications.

209. This major programme covers: provisions for the immediate Office of Director-General (ODG), the Office of Programme, Budget and Evaluation (PBE) and the Office of the Inspector-General (AUD). It also includes the share of the total costs of the Legal Office (LEG) as relates to legal services to the Organization and the share of the cost of the Office for Coordination of Normative, Operational and Decentralized Activities (OCD) as relates to its overall coordination responsibilities. The remaining costs of the latter two offices are budgeted under Programme 3.1.3, Legal Assistance to Member Nations, Major Programme 3.4, FAO Representatives, and Programme 3.5.3, Cooperation Agreements with Member Nations and Support to ECDC and TCDC.
Impact of ZRG Resource Levels
While some start-up funds would remain, elimination of the substantial increase under Programme 1.2.2, Programme Planning, Budgeting and Evaluation, which is to meet most of the cost of replacing the current budget preparation and work planning system (PLANSYS) would imply further postponement of this much needed replacement.

211. This programme covers the coordination of programme formulation leading to planning documents such as the Strategic Framework, Medium Term Plan (MTP) and biennial Programme of Work and Budget (PWB). It encompasses the full programming cycle through allotment setting, implementation monitoring and evaluation and is supported by the appropriate corporate information systems at both centralized and decentralized levels. It also includes advice on budget formulation of field projects, and on the application of approved support cost recovery policies.
212. PBE also monitors and evaluates the likely flow of resources for all sources as well as external factors (e.g. inflation, exchange rates, etc.) which may impact upon the Programme of Work and acts as the focal point for the exchange of programme budget documents between agencies of the UN system and for contacts with the Joint Inspection Unit (JIU).
213. FAO's comprehensive evaluation practices will be pursued in accordance with the new regime approved by the Council. Evaluation arrangements will increasingly address the needs of the new programme budget process and in particular, the Strategic Framework. Field project and programme evaluation missions will aim at improving the overall approach to technical assistance, as well as the effectiveness of individual projects.
214. In addition to the above key planning documents, the office will prepare evaluation reports for consideration by the Programme Committee; the Programme Evaluation Report (PER) and the Programme Implementation Report (PIR), as major accountability reports, in cooperation with all units concerned.
215. The increased provision under real growth includes the cost of replacing PLANSYS budget preparation and work planning modules with an upgraded version fully integrated into the financial systems of the Organization, a project deferred from the biennium 2000-01.

216. The audit and inspection function includes, as specified in FAO's Basic Texts, external audit as provided by the Auditor-General (or person exercising an equivalent function) of a Member Nation appointed by the Governing Bodies of the Organization and reporting directly to them, and by the Office of the Inspector-General (AUD) located in the Office of Director-General. AUD operates as an integral part of the Organization under policies established by senior management. Full cooperation is ensured between the Inspector-General and the External Auditor, for each to perform their different roles in a coordinated and complementary manner. In this respect the External Auditor automatically receives copies of the reports of the Inspector-General. In addition, local audits of imprest accounts, records, bank reconciliations and asset verification, which take place at FAO field and Liaison Offices, are budgeted under Programme 5.2.1 in recognition of their primary function to enhance internal control.
217. The audit strategy and scope of the Office of the Inspector-General retain the concept of comprehensive auditing embodying financial, compliance and value-for-money features. The office operates on an integrated basis which includes investigation, inspection, audit monitoring and management control. The programme will continue to assist management in improving the operations of the Organization and promoting control at reasonable cost; and to provide FAO units with advisory services to enable them to discharge their responsibilities in the most effective manner. The annual report of the Inspector-General to the Director-General, as well as any other similar reports that in the view of the Inspector-General should be made available, is communicated to the Finance Committee.
218. The programme will continue to comprise Headquarters activities for ensuring reliability and integrity of financial and operating information, compliance with the Organization's policies and rules, and the proper safeguarding of assets; decentralized activities for providing assurance that structures and offices away from Headquarters, as well as field operations, are run in an economical, efficient and effective manner; and special management assignments for conducting reviews to determine the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of management's operations, for investigating potential fraud, and performing special reviews and studies.
219. Headquarters priorities will continue to focus on technical activities, without duplicating the work of the Evaluation Service and without losing sight of the need to continuously review the core financial and accounting functions. Emphasis will be given to field audits by assisting Regional and Sub-regional Offices, as well as some 60 country offices, in accomplishing their expanded objectives within the decentralized structure having regard to matters of economy, efficiency and effectiveness, and to ensuring that field projects are properly managed and executed, with emphasis placed on the most significant programme priorities. Special management assignments will cover value-for-money audits of major contracts, special reviews and studies, as well as a follow-up of audits performed in the 2000-01 biennium. The Office of the Inspector-General will continue to offer independent, impartial and unbiased judgement in controlling the tender panel operations. This will involve the supervision of some 750 tender openings.

220. Programme 1.2.4 is delivered by the Legal Counsel and the General Legal Affairs Service, while maintaining strong interactions with Programme 3.1.3, Legal Assistance to Member Nations, implemented by the Development Law Service.
221. In general terms, Programme 1.2.4 covers the "in-house counsel" work of the Legal Office including advice to the Director-General, technical departments and Governing Bodies of the Organization on legal matters; servicing of the Committee on Constitutional and Legal Matters (CCLM); preparation of international legal agreements at the global and regional levels and performance of the Director-General's depositary functions; advice on legal aspects of relations with the host government and with other governments and international organizations; and representation of FAO in judicial proceedings and in settlements of disputes and, in particular, handling of cases before the International Labour Organization (ILO) Administrative Tribunal. The Legal Office also provides services to the World Food Programme (WFP) Secretariat and Executive Board under this programme.
222. As such, the programme is responsive to requests from "its clients". It is expected that high priority matters to be dealt with during the 2002-03 biennium will include:

223. This programme includes activities of the consolidated Coordination Service (OCDC) of OCD to support effective coordination between Headquarters and the decentralized offices. This service results from the merger of the former Coordination Branch (OCDC) and the TCDC/ECDC Service (OCDT). Work on partnership programmes is covered under Programme 3.5.3.
224. The process of transferring a significant portion of FAO's business to decentralized offices has been further strengthened with the delegation of operational responsibility for national projects to FAORs. OCD has overall responsibility for ensuring the optimal functioning of these offices and their contribution to policy formulation, priority setting and field programme development.
225. Ensuring that decentralized offices function as an integral part of the Organization will entail continuous review of mechanisms for linkages and communication among decentralized offices themselves and with Headquarters, as well as updated directives on relations with decentralized offices and monitoring of their implementation. As required, OCD will prepare documents on decentralization policy issues for consideration by Governing Bodies and senior management and provide support to Regional Offices in the organisation of Regional Conferences. Other key activities are the six-monthly management letters containing Headquarters feedback to FAO Representatives (FAORs) on a variety of issues, and management of the small-scale facility for FAORs, which has proved extremely useful in enabling these offices to respond promptly to requests for technical policy advice.
226. OCD will also continue to play a key role in the planning, preparation, conduct and monitoring of Regional Conferences, overseeing the process of preparation to ensure timely arrangements. Furthermore, OCD will maintain and update the Regional Conferences Preparation Handbook, incorporating lessons of experiences gained from each series of Conferences.

227. Sub-programme 1.3.1.1 covers the work of the unit under the Special Advisers to the Director-General (SAD), which supports FAO's cooperation with other organizations of the UN system through monitoring of developments, information exchange and facilitating FAO's participation in the Administrative Committee on Coordination (ACC) and subsidiary machinery. It is being strengthened to cope with increased workloads linked to a variety of UN system initiatives.
228. Sub-programme 1.3.1.3 covers FAO's contributions to jointly funded inter-agency mechanisms including:
229. Contributions will be adjusted depending on the results of ongoing reform of the ACC subsidiary machinery. An increased provision is necessary to meet higher costs of security for UN personnel in the field.
Impact of ZRG Resource Levels
Reversal of the net increase under Sub-programme 1.3.1.1, United Nations System Organizations, would be necessary under ZRG, hampering capacity to deal satisfactorily with UN system cooperation.
