The Regional Director wishes to bring to the attention of the Regional Committee the following modifications to the Programme Budget for the financial period 1990-1991 as compared to the document which was presented to the
Committee in 1988:
The transfer of additional responsibilities and funding for the WHO Arabic Programme - from Headquarters to the Regional Office has results in an increase of $380 000 for this activity.
Adjustments for cost increases together with the use of a more realistic exchange rate of EGY PD 2.32 per US dollar as decided by the Director-General result in a decreased USS value of the Regional Budget not directly affecting, however. programme activities. The total regional budget is now US$67 376 000.
These adjustments affect only the regional/intercountry component of the total budget. The country totals as reviewed last year remain the same.
