Dear Mr. Begin,

Second Performance,Report on the Programme Budget for the biennium 1980-1981

With reference to ymir memo dated 26th June 1981,. I am herewith submitting a report on the performance of the Prof^e budget of the Economic.Commission for Africa for the biennium 1980-1981; The report

contained in this text has been prepare* with great care to: ensure

that we provide Spr minimal amount needed for implementation of the programmes tjiat hiaye. -been, approved for, the period .under review and,

vhich could not.have.been postponed without causing financial losses

to the o*ganiz^on.: , Therefore, the. usual spirit, of budgetary re^r and economy has: been fully:, exercised in the preparation of tiie.^ox

The programme budget submission for 1980-1981, reveals anoa(t c.learly;

how the adverse economic developments that affected the African region over the past few years bear an impact on the ^nit^ed financial resources available to the Secretariat: in the implementation^ its approved work

programmer. ^■TOT

The inflationary situation, lack of essential commodities and .rising costs of living have been the general conditions in which the Commission pas operated. During the past eight months the post adjustment has had to be increased three times in effort to match the incomes of staff with the rapidly rising cost of living index. The post adjustment increases had not been anticipated and budgetary provisions had, therefore, not been provided for. Lack of essential; commodities led ECA to make bulk purchases from abroad a year ahead which has had a great strain to its resources.

In the African region, there are the traditional problems of under- development of the communication facilities which ECA could not escape to experience. These problems are well known to the World Body which has been forced to declare a transport decade in Africa. Costs for travel, cables and telexes are more -.han two-fold on the African continent than other regions and their impact impose a budden on ECA's finances. .,.

Mr. Christian Begin Director of the Budget

Office of Financial Services UN Headquarters

Within the context of budgetary restraint and rational approach to

such challenges, proposals have had to be made on increase of minimal amounts needed to balance our budget.: Suph proposals have been made in good faith with the spirit of strict-economy to overcome the present financial difficulties.

Having,stated the above, I would like to turn on the most crucial issues that are to preoccupy our minds in the coming months. Here, we are living at duty station where there are limited supplies for essential commodities such as food and sugar, petrol and gas coupled with lack of housing facilities. He honestly feel that apart from increase of post adjustment, more practical measures should be taken in this direction to

deal with this situation so that staff can properly settle down on their

work. ECA is therefore seriously negotiating with the Provisional Military

Government of Socialist Ethiopia the measures of setting.up a Commissary, installation of a petrotank, strengthening the service of the Cafeteria

and building or purchasing a guest house. A comprehensive cost plan on the subject will be soon provided to you.

Finally, I would like to express ECA's most sincere thanks for the co-operation and understanding that has been extended to it over the biennium 1980-1981 to deal promptly with its financial difficulties. We hope that such a gesture will continue and prosper in the coming biennium 1982-1983.

Yours sincerely,

During the biennium 1980-1981, the Work programme of the Economic Commissi for Africa was financed by both the regular budget resources appropriated by

the General Assembly and the extrabudgetary funds that wefe contributed through

pledges and donations. Details of these resources are provided In the various appendicies of the report and their brief analysis follows below.[

The revised appropriations voted by the General Assembly to finance the 1980-1981 regular budget (Section 13) of the Economic Commission for Africa were in an amount of $US29,701,300. These revised appropriations have all been

released to ECA but with certain administrative adjustments between objects of

expenditure that took into account'the areas "where EGA anticipated greater deficits or savings than those reflected by £"he revised appropriation's.

Table I(c) provide a summary by objects of expenditure at organizational level of 'the*revised appropriations voted by the General Assembly/expenditures

Decrease $US 520,700

The first ECA performance report advised that due to the high rate of turnover of staff, it was likely that despite the vigorous efforts that 'were' being made by Personnel Section to fill the vacancies, a higher number of

vacancies than budgeted will continue to exist till end of 1981. As of the end of June 1981, the vacancy situation of Professional staff was 1.3% to be compared with 16% In June 1980. Having taken Into account the promotions that are soon

to be implemented, candidates who have already signified their acceptance to our offers and those whose recruitment procedures are more or less concluded, we anticipate a saving of $US52Oi7OQ-

In the first performance report, we also indicated that a cost of living survey had been mounted at Addis Ababa and given the persistent inflationary conditions, it was likely that the post adjustment would be raised. The post adjustment has been raised about three times In the past eight months and this has had a bearing on the funds appropriated. Two of the post adjustment

increases vere instituted In the first half of this year and their

impact has been reflected in the figures of the past eighteen months of thia bienniuig £n_ which this report has been based. The post adjustment that was at the level of 2/M multiplier U in January 1981 has now been raised to Class 7 multiplier 41 effectiyeAugust 1981.

In aiaTtion, a general service staffsalary survey is presently taking place in Addis Ababa and there~Is~a liklihood that salaries for this category

of staff will also be substantially increased,. ; : r;; - ■ i*0

It is therefore proposed that the increases for post adjustment and the likely increase in salaries for general service staff should be ! taken into

account and presented to the General Assembly.

Increase $US 98,600

The requirement for increased resources in an amount of $US98,600 is mainly attributable to Policy-making Organs programme and detailed

justifications have already been provided by cable of 1st April 1981 and acceptance communicated by cable MAP 1368-5 of 22nd May 1981.

It should further be noted that the figure of $US98,60O indicated abov contains a discripancy of $US57,800 between the appropriation of $US525,800 and the allotment of $US583,600 details of which are provided_under the

Although the revised appropriations were $yS408,600, the actual :'-

allotments provided to ECA are at the level of $US496,100.

It is anticipated that the allotments of $US496,000 wwuld just be

adequate for the requirements for the biennium.1980-1981 and ECA is therefore requesting for formalizing the additional allotment of $US87,500.

In accordance with the present trends of expenditure and the cost plans from the programme managers, the above appropriations should have been

adequate to meet the requirements. But there has been an urgent project

on monitoring livestock research and development in Africa that would cost

$US20,000. This undertaking is likely to cause a deficit against this

object of expenditure. The above requirement has been provided for under the Executive Direction Programme.

In the first performance report, ECA expressed its continuing concern

over the high trend of expenditure of this object code in terms of

appropriations, and stated that, early this year a Committee was appointed

to look Into the matter. Among the recommendations made by the Committee,

aimed at minimizing overtime expenditure, and improved administration of .'

these resources, were the following:

(a) that no overtime during any one month should be paid beyond 40

hours unless the situation was completely unforeseen;

-

(b) that short-time contracts 'be granted for the'big meeting to-avoid

the high" cost 6f overtime;;

(c)T %hat more staff be employed under relevant extrabudget overheads -

These recommendations have been implemented and there la, np,-doubt that the expenditure has been considerably reduced during the second half of this biennium. However, EGA feels that whilst efforts are being made to reduce costs for overtime, It is nevertheless, necessary that a more realistic budget provision based on past experience and mandatory payments is provided*, and therefore proposes that an increase in the resources for overtime^ through __

reallocation be made available by $US70,O00 to tovter the requiremepts^or_the Already$US50,000 have been provided by reallocatioa

Although rental supplements ceased to be paid at the end of January 1981, the abrupt increase in housing rent by the Ethiopian Government at Addis

Ababa, justified the payment for rental subsidy and personal transitional J.

allowance to staff members. These allowances had not been provided for by the general assembly and hence no allotment was Issued to ECA by the Budget Division. Expenditure for this purpose is being incurred against rental supplements budget line. It is therefore necessary that the General Assembly is, approached to provide this increase in the resources.

Freetown had been concluded and the staff to service the policy making1 meeting had already arrived in Freetown, the perdiem was raised from $US60 to $US98 per a day per person. The staff members involved, whose travel was financed; byi Sierra Leone Government, were 76 and the numbed of days spent by each person were 23 days. Therefore, the additional cost to be met amounts to $US.66,,450.

This sum of money can be provided for by reallocation of savings. Other increasea requested to strengthen travel for,meetings .resources are mainly under Transport and Communication for transport decade and Executive Direction programme. Increase of resources 1A these two programmes account ,for $US40,.OOO.

Based on the expenditure that has been incurred over the years and amount spent in the fir¥t half of 1981 of ttie level of $US102,200, it is very likely that we will require at least $US10O,500 for the balance of the

year hence the request for increased resources of $US60,000. :. ;-

Furthermore, it should be noted, here, that the computer equipment whic

was being rented by ECA was returned to its owner at the end of April and we

are at the present utilizing PADIS equipment. Arrangements for reimbursing

PADIS for expenses for their equipment by regular budget are tinderway between ECA and Budget Division and the Computer Services Section at the UN

Headquarters.

Although new administrative measurers had been established -to ensure that the expenditure for communications is at the bear minimum,•> ECA is ; nevertheless bound to incur a large deficit on this account by the end of year. *■ ■■•:_:■■ y.\ S7\ !,.-Mv v '•.■-. -.'■'< ■■■. ■ ■■ r::-j^:. ■■-. .■■• ..■ .

The expenditure for 1980 was on similar trends as the previous four,-, -r, years. The December 1980 ledger indicated an expenditure of $US496,300; and further scrutiny of the expenditure of $US155,690 incurred between January and April 1981 showed that most of the payments that had been made, in that period related to 1980. 12 sample vouchers amounting to $US68,900 t;hat

were examined indicated that 11 vouchers processed in 1981 were for 1980 and these costed $US68,270.

The problem of the high cost of communications is mainly atttibutfable to the under-developmerit of the communication net work on the African* continent.

A number of countries or stations can only be contacted through other cities in Europe or New York which considerably increases the cost for communications.

The commercial charges via New York, our main contact vary>frqm 11.5 cents (US) to 34 cents (US) per word; the average charge for the African continent being therefore 28 cents (US) per word. Should a cable be .sent Etatpriority then the cost is doubled i.e. African region would average 56 cents (US) per word,

However, ECA has carried out strainous efforts to reduce this expenditure effective from 1981 through new administrative measures designed at lessening the number of cables and words that are beinp sent out by each Division; and negotiations have been initiated with UNDP seeking to find a long terra solution for reduction of costs for cables within the Unifrer? Nat-inns System Operating in AfHra, ffa haw, had to sub-allot communication resources to each Division and to keep on reviewing the expenditures fortnightly.

Present trends of expenditure control are very encouraging. According to our manual control records, introduced this year, the cost on cables for the

E ■ I "■■

T(

period January to April 1981 have been contained within $US68,000, which in te of previous experience was a remarkable achievement. Should this level of expenditure be maintained it is very likely that we will live within the appropriations for 1982/1983.

cms

Taking into account the amount of money which was spent for bills which accrued last year, we suggest that $US429,OOO be provided from the savings clear the communication expenditures for 1980-1981.

CONCLUSION

•: -*v: : '

In conclusion, ECA would like to stress the enormous care that has been taken In working out these supplementary estimates. As it will

a two way approach has been used in recommending how the gap between

existing appropriations and the likely expenditures can be met. Expenditures concerning post adjustment and rent subsidy can be met from provisions to be sought directly from the General Assembly whilst increases sought for

supplementary staff, travel, overtime could be financed through the savings

The preceding paragraphs have presented the global organizational picture

of ECA by objects of expenditure. They indicated the manner in which the funds appropriated by the General Assembly have been spent and whether there would be savings or deficits at organizational level. Also information provided at the organizational level la how the savings that are being anticipated^ be utilized to bridge up the likely deficits in a few areas

during the biennlum 1980-1981.

The preceeding paragraphs give a further breakdown by objects of expenditure at programme level. Tables I<b) and I(d) indicate the details

in figures of this breakdown.

?US41/,100 would be required to be compared with appropriation of

$US282,2O0. The lncreased_rgsources are required to cover requirements in the areas of Temporary Assistance $US68,600 and Travel of Staff for meetings

amounting to

With regard to Temporary Assistance, this matter has been already drawn

to the kind attention of the Budget Division who have approved the over

expenditure of $US41,800 subject to a formal submission being made in this I performance report. The difference between $US68,600 and $US41,800 is due to the level of*appropriation of $US143,600 being less than the actual allotment of $tJSl71,400 provided to ECA early this year..

The Increased■resources for travel are attributable to the most

unexpected Increase in the perdiem by 50% for Freetown after the staff had

already left for Sierra Leone, and the Government of Sierra Leone refusal to

meet the additional costs as the agreement and arrangements for the meeting

had already been concluded. It is suggested to meet the above Increase

through reallocation of savings.

NEW AND RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY ^{■..''■ <}

Arrangements for this meeting have been completed and it vill-.be. taking- place in the second half of 1981.

110 EXECUTIVE DIRECTION AND MANAGEMENT

$US3,661,200 would be required f6r this programme to be compared' with :-the;

revised appropriation of $US3,261,400. The increase of $US399,80O is found in the objects of expenditure pertaining to Established posts $US274,400

Consultants $US20,000 Common staff costs $US84,400 and Travel $US21,O0O.- The requirement of-$US274,400 is due to post adjustment which is h^her,

than budgeted and a. decrease in ^hese. resources of about $US,100,000 that, is

indicated in the revised appropriations. .

$US20,000 are urgently required to finance a project on livestock

research and development which had not been originally budgeted for.

The Common staff cost of $US84,400 has a direct relationship to the

requirement of $US274,4OO for established posts which was under budgeted.

The $US21,000 are required to bridge up the likely over expenditure for travel under this programme as a result of heavy commitments and high costs

for travel. This amount is broken down as follows: code 221 $US19,7OO, code 242 $USl,300.

210 FOOD AND AGRICULTURE

An overall decrease of $US76,500 is proposed for this programme. This is

due to the present vacancy situation of three professional staff members. A

nominal increase of $US9,800 suggested under common staff'coats was mb

due to the high costs for repatriation grants, transport of household and

personal effects incurred in 1980.

The overall increase in this programme of $US28,400 made up by increase

In established posts and decrease In common staff costs is attributable to the following factors:,

(a) $US41,700 required to meet the cost of higher rate of post

adjustment than appropriations and the higher cost for salaries than the standard costs.

(b) A reduction of $US13r3OO to reflect the low cost for educational grants and other dependency allowances, under code 100.

$US41,800 are required for the.Industrial development programme tcnneet

the increase in established posts $US24,400 and common staff costs $US17,4OO.

These increases, have relationship to the post adjustment which is higher than budgeted and the revised appropriations for established posts which are lower than the standard cost or actual costs being paid for salary.

Again the.overall increase of $US86,300 relates to established posts r.j

We propose an overall increase of $US12V500. Due to a number of vacancies,

$US36,000 be reduced from established posts whilst the common staff costs is increased by $USA8,500 as a result of higher costs than provided for repatriation grants, acrued leave and transportation for personal effects of the staff

members from this Division who left the organization.

. 540 STATISTICS

. ,-.. :■■ ■ ■--■ . - . ■ ! ■ - ■' - ■ £?;V:

All the twelve professional posts under Statistics programme are encumbered

and most of the staff employed are earning higher salaries than the standard

costs. This factor plus the higher post adjustment than budgeted justify the increase in the resources by $US201,300. A small increase in common staff costs is also noted; hence the overall increased requirement of $US216,100.

550 TRANSPORT, COMMUNICATIONS AND TOURISM

$US3O3t800 reduction is proposed for this programme mainly due to the

vacancy situation. The provision for Established posts be reduced by $US213,800 and common Staff costs object code be decreased by $USlI5,000

Increase of $US25,000 for travel is meant to meet the requirements for

transport decade as a number of travels connected with that activity scheduled

for this biennium have not yet taken place. The travel requirements are

divided as follows? code 221 $US20,000; code 242 $US5,000.

710 CONFERENCE SERVICES

$US409,600 reduction is suggested to be made against this programme. The large saving was due to vacancies and higher standard cost rate for established posts and common staff costs than what is actually being paid - due to lower

salaries and family commitments.

Although the recorded expenditure f6r general Jemporary'Assistance

(code 030) is comparatively too low for the past 18 months, this account^will

be evenly spent when accounts adjustments have been made. Most of the costs for General Temporary Assistance had been debted against Administration

programme (800) where a deficit of $US87,500 is being anticipated by the end

of the biennium. (For more information see the picture of the overall expenditure

of this object of expenditure).

objects of expenditure.

The large savings are attributable to vacant posts and the standard cost for salaries being higher than actually paid to a number of staff in both professional and local level category.

Justifications for increased resources in respect of Overtime, Rent supplement, Communications, Rental and maintenana*of Equipment and Official functions have already been provided as these object codes are centrally provided for under Administration. These details were provided under the general comments on objects of expenditure.

With regard to overtime, it must be noted that ECA faces a situation of meeting the mandatory payments for security guards whose allowances alone account for 70% of the budget. None fulfillment of such commitments can*be a serious embarrassment. On the other hand, about 50 meetings are annually serviced at ECA by staff members and somehow.£be holding o£ such a large . number of meetings entail payments for overtime both in the process of

document preparation and actual servicing of the meetings. The increase.of;

$0&?P,pOO, $s to meet the very minimum requirements of the Secretariat after giving allowance to compensatory time-off.

In connexion with mission travel an additional $US6,000 is requested to enable clearing the existing deficit.

(b) Transnational Corporations yy.Sectlon Q9

The Transnational Corporation programme was appropriated $US412,600

for the biennium 1980-1981. The projected expenditure for the entire biennium is $US387,300 and thus leaving a balance of $US25,3OO. The areas that require particular attention are as follows:

010 ESTABLISHED POSTS

$US207,300 were appropriated for this code and it is anticipated that

there will be a saving of $US41,500 mainly due to the vacant post at P.3

Due to present volume of work and vacancy situation, ECA unable to do the translation work for this programme.

Two-man-months costing $US10,000 are required urgently to do the work.

coiranon staff costs and post adjustment at Adciis Ababa duty station which were never provided'for'by the General Assembly.

At Table I(c), the details of the Regular '"Programme of Technical

Co-operatibri by objects of expenditure are provided at organizational level.

Briefly the following are the main features of these accounts: ^{.'.;; < »-■■',}

030 GENERAL TEMPORARY AiS&lSTANCE^

^{■ ' i- ; -J i}

$US1,667,400 were provided to meet the requirements for s-aia.rl.es, common staff costs and post adjustment of the Regional Advisory arul fb^-tr supporting staff. In 1980 $US365,300 only were spent due to the vacancy situation. A number of posts which were vacant in 1980 have now been filled as indicated by the level of expenditure at $US434,700 in tha first half ot 1981.

Two more posts are expected to be filled in the second half of 19BT.

Given the increased rate of common staff costs at. .Add^s .Apaba generally:, and the high costs involved in. the .recruitment of staff t the expenditure on ;cpBjmpn staff costs should be higher than 50% of established posts. The provisions, for Section 24 was budgeted at 40%. In addition we are paying a higher rate of post adjustment than what was budgeted. The above factors contributed Li the high costs estimated at $US681,300 for general temporary.assistance for the balance of the year.

apt., .-c'l

■

191 RENT SUPPLEMENT ^{• ,. ■ ■■_} '■ - ■-■

Due to the abrupt increase of rent at Addis Ababa, rent subsidy is being paid to staff members. The requirements for this object of expenditure are estimated at $US26,7OO in the biennium 1980-1981. This figure is distributed under the various programmes.

240 TRAVEL .ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS ■ ■■■- ■ ■■■■:

ECA appears to be requesting for an unusual increase of $US277,5Q0 for travel. In practical terms, this is not true.

Object code 860 concerning Technical Co-operation had been appropriated

$US309,900 in non-convertible currency which was mainly to pay;for travel to . USSR. Allotment against this appropriation of $US262,400 was provided under . object code 242 and a heavy expenditure amounting to $US246,340 was incurred. 4

Since we are basing ourselves on appropriations and since there was no appropriation specifically provided under code 242 for travel, the entire expenditure of $US246,340 reflects a deficit under travel on official business (242). That expenditure should be looked at in terms appropriations provided for code 860 Technical Co-operation which has more or less not been utilized.

(The above picture is reflected under development Issues and policies , programme - provision in non-convertible currencies - UNH24-243).

In the final analysis, ECA is not requesting any Increase in the overall travel vote for Regional Advisors but an adjustment in the accounts. As a matter of fact "ECA is proposing a decrease in resources for travel against convertibly resources by $US12,200.

100 COMMON STAFF COSTS

The appropriation of $US57,5OO should be increased by $USll,300 because of higher costs than the original standard cost of 40% which wer bases. Revised appropriations for Section 13 have provided for 50% for standard costs for Addis Ababa duty station. Similar arrangements shoul

apply for this programme.'

191 RENT'SUPPLEMENT

$US5,400 are provided to meet the cost of rent subsidy and personal transition allowance payable to staff members at this duty station but provided for in the budget.

, , ., . r (e) Construction - alteration improvement and Major Maintenance - Section 32

A total provision of $US456,700 had been provided to ECA for alteration, improvement and major maintenance of premises under Section 32. Expenditure

.incurred in 1980 was $US253,4OO and for the first 6 months of 1981 $US99,000

had been spent. The above expenditure left ECA with $US104', 300' to cover requirements for the balance of the year.

Although iteration and improvement (code 721) is showing a large balance of $US139,900, this not quite correct. Part of the expenses which

were to be charged against this code 721 had been wrongly debted against major maintenance (code 722) henpe a deficit of $US35,600 being reflected under that object of expenditure, ■ ,.

This error has been brought to the attention of the Accounts Unit and it will be corrected in the September 1981 ledger.

In conclusion, it should be stated that ECA projects to spend the appropriations of this Section evenly and there will be no over expenditure against the major maintenance code 722.

II. EXTRABUDGETARY RESOURCES

At Tables II and III the extrabudgetary resources have been provided by main source of funds and programme. The programmes which share the

largest amount of extrabudgetary resources include Executive Direction and Management, Human Settlements, International Trade, Natural Resources, Science and Technology, Social Development, Statistics and Transport and Communication.

It will be noted that present estimated delivery which is, fcasedon trends of expenditure as of end of June 1981, Is less than the previously estimated expenditure. The main reason, attributable to lower expenditure

than, anticipated are delayed recruitment of project personnel, experts and

consultants* Information on trend of expenditure in terms of estimated delivery has been provided at the programme level in the above tables.
