280. This chapter covers provisions for Governing Bodies, as well as a number of offices, principally at Headquarters, but also outside Rome (Liaison Offices). The major apparent change stems from the elimination of the hitherto separate heading for Programme Management, 1.9. The corresponding resources have been distributed over the other Major Programmes under the Chapter to which the small administrative unit, formerly budgeted under 1.9, provides services. Other resource changes are explained below.

281. A shift in resources to Programme 1.1.9, together with a limited amount of additional funds, is to contribute to the cost of the new post of Information Technology Officer (ITO) in the General Affairs and Information Department (GI). Reductions in non-staff resources of the Conference, Council and Protocol Affairs Division (GIC) will more than cover the needed upgrading of a post of Protocol Liaison Officer and the creation of a new post of secretary to the Independent Chairperson of the Council, G-3.
Impact of Zero Real Growth (ZRG) Resource Levels |
The ZRG scenario implies a significant reduction of the resources available to the GIC Division, including its contribution to the cost of the ITO post in the Office of the Assistant Director-General (GID). It will impact negatively on the capacity of the Division to reinforce Protocol activities, as well as on the intended improved support to the Independent Chairperson of the Council. |

282. This programme covers the direct costs of sessions of the Conference and Council, as well as some Council Committees and FAO Regional Conferences. Expenditures relate primarily to costs for documentation, interpretation and short-term staff, in addition to the travel of government representatives, as provided for in the Financial Regulations. The programme also includes provisions related to the McDougall Memorial Lecture and commemorative awards.

283. Programme 1.1.2 covers the cost of the Secretariat for Conference and Council sessions, including preparation of agendas, schedules of documents and providing meeting room facilities. These services are also provided for other meetings at Headquarters. The Programme serves as the focal point for relations with all Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) outside the UN system, excluding funding institutions such as the regional banks. This involves policy advice and liaison, maintenance of reference materials and documentation.
284. GIC will continue to ensure effective management of meetings and efficient utilization of translation, interpretation and printing services, including supportive computerized information systems. The more balanced use of languages has resulted in significant increases in translation volumes; new technologies and reorganized work processes have been implemented to manage this workload and improve services to clients.
285. It is recalled that 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$ 10 million.

287. 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.
288. The 2002-03 allocation under Programme 1.2.2: Programme Planning, Budgeting and Evaluation, included a one-time provision for the development of the comprehensive budget preparation and work planning system (Programme Planning, Implementation Reporting and Evaluation System [PIRES]), which can, therefore, be reprogrammed for other purposes in 2004-05. This has been used, in part, to regularize three temporary posts under 1.2.1 Director-General’s Office and also to strengthen work under 1.2.3 Audit and Inspection.
Impact of ZRG Resource Levels |
The impact will be felt essentially under: Programme 1.2.2 in terms of reduced capacity to undertake peer group reviews of major evaluation results and benchmarking studies; and under Programme 1.2.3 in terms of reduced support to tender operations and a lower travel and consultancy provision, negatively affecting the work plan of AUD, especially in decentralized locations. |

290. 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. This work is facilitated by appropriate corporate information systems at both centralized and decentralized level (e.g. the PIRES system). Advice is provided on budget formulation of field projects, and on the application of approved support cost recovery policies.
291. 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 contacts with the Joint Inspection Unit (JIU).
292. FAO's comprehensive evaluation work will be pursued in accordance with the new regime approved by the Council. This will include increased emphasis on strategic evaluations as well as the full implementation of annual assessments and auto-evaluation by responsible officers themselves. Field project and programme evaluation missions will aim at improving the overall approach to technical assistance, as well as the effectiveness of individual projects.
293. 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.
294. In an experiment to apply the new programme model to “non-technical” areas, previous Sub-programme 1.2.2.1 is now broken down into main component activities (using the same symbols as in technical areas).

295. The audit regime at FAO, as specified in FAO's Basic Texts, consists of External Audit 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 an Internal Audit function performed by the Office of the Inspector-General (AUD) located in the Office of the Director-General. The External Auditor’s main objective is to render an opinion on the financial statements as well as the internal controls of the Organization. AUD operates as an integral part of the Organization’s system of internal controls, following best practices, and under policies established by senior management. Full cooperation exists between the External Auditor and the Inspector-General to ensure proper planning, coordination and complementarity of action on the programme of work. The External Auditor receives copies of all audit reports issued by the Inspector-General. In addition, the annual report of the Inspector-General to the Director-General, as well as any other reports deemed necessary, are communicated to the Finance Committee.
296. The audit strategy and scope of AUD retain the concept of comprehensive auditing embodying, financial, compliance, performance and ‘value for money’ features. Accordingly, the internal audit function will continue to address Headquarters activities and programmes, focusing on such aspects as reliability and integrity of financial operations, compliance with the Organization's rules and regulations, and the proper safeguarding of assets. Audits of decentralized activities will continue to provide assurance that field operations are managed in an economical, efficient and effective manner, with emphasis on the most significant programme priorities. In this regard, the local audit programme (supervised by the Finance Division and budgeted under programme 5.2.1) will constitute an integral part of the control environment. Special reviews, studies and investigations will be carried out to assess performance and value-for-money aspects, including instances of fraud or potential fraud. AUD will continue to offer independent supervision of tender panel operations, involving the opening of some 800 tenders during the biennium.
297. In addition, the Internal Audit programme will continue to assist management in improving the operations of the Organization, promoting control at reasonable cost, and will actively follow up on the implementation of audit recommendations. Advisory services will be provided to units for them to discharge their responsibilities in the most effective manner, and participation will continue to be ensured in various internal committees and working groups, as required.

298. 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.
299. Programme 1.2.4 covers the "in-house counsel" work of LEG including advice to the Director-General, technical and administrative 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; 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; 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.
300. The programme seeks to be responsive to requests from "its clients". It is expected that high priority matters to be dealt with during the 2004-05 biennium will include:

301. Under Programme 1.2.5, OCD will continue to support the decentralization policy, i.e. to ensure that functional relationships between Headquarters and decentralized offices are conducive to overall cost-effectiveness and due responsiveness of services to Members. OCD will, therefore, continue to monitor the implementation of the decentralization policy and related coordination arrangements and will provide information and guidance to other FAO units, both at Headquarters and in the field, on coordination issues.
302. This work involves, inter alia, the preparation of documents on decentralization issues for consideration by Governing Bodies and senior management and support to Regional Offices in the organization of Regional Conferences. Other activities are the six-monthly Management Letters to FAO Representatives containing feedback and guidance from Headquarters and the management of the Small-scale Facility for FAO Representatives. Work on partnership programmes is covered under Programme 3.5.3.
