SIXTY-FIFTH WORLD HEALTH ASSEMBLY Provisional agenda item 18.1

A65/34 15 May 2012

Human resources: annual report Report by the Secretariat

1. This report presents the Organization’s staffing profile as at 31 December 2011. In addition, drawing on human resources annual reports generated over the last 10 years, it provides an analysis of certain aspects of the evolution of the workforce. The data include details on: appointment categories; staff distribution by sex; geographical representation; age, grade, length of service and turnover of staff; staff mobility and rotation; and the distribution of staff in professional and higher category posts across main occupational groups. 2. An earlier version of this report was considered by the Executive Board at its 130th session in January 2012.1 In response to members’ comments during the discussions,2 the Secretariat undertook to provide fuller data on those employed by WHO on non-staff individual contracts.3 It was decided to add a second section to this report on the “non-staff” category.

STAFFING PROFILE Appointment categories 3. As at 31 December 2011, WHO had a total of 7817 staff members (including temporary staff). Of these, 68754 were holding a fixed-term or a continuing appointment (both referred to hereinafter as “long-term appointments”), with 2290 (33.3%) in the professional and higher categories, 894 (13.0%) in the national professional officer category and 3691 (53.7%) in general services category (see Table 1).5 The number of staff members holding long-term appointments has decreased by 279 (3.9%) compared with the number reported in the staffing profile as at 31 December 2010.6 This is the lowest staffing level since 2003.

Document EB130/26 Add.1. See document EB130/2012/REC/2, summary record of the thirteenth meeting, section 3.

Non-staff contracts concern the following arrangements and job categories: Special Services Agreements, Consultants, Agreements for Performance of Work and Junior Professional Officers. See paragraph 28 for details. 4 This figure includes staff in special programmes and collaborative arrangements hosted by WHO. Although it also includes WHO-funded PAHO/AMRO staff, it does not include PAHO-funded staff members in the Region of the Americas (see details in paragraphs 24 to 27); nor does it include staff in IARC or in any agencies administered by WHO. 5 6

All data in this report refer to long-term appointments, unless otherwise indicated. See document A64/36.

4. As at 31 December 2011, 942 staff were on temporary appointments (Figure 1 and Table 1), a decrease of 177 or 15.8% compared with the number reported in the profile as at 31 December 2010. Temporary staff currently represent 12.1% of the total workforce compared with 56.8% in 2001.1 5. Table 2 shows the distribution of staff members holding long-term appointments by major office, grade and gender. Within the distribution for the professional and higher categories, it can be observed that the proportion of staff by grade has changed most significantly during the decade at grades P.3 to P.5 (P.3: 10.4% to 15.2%; P.4: 28.1% to 35.6%; and P.5: 39.3% to 31.6%). As a result, a total of 56.8% of staff holding long-term appointments are at grade P.4 or below compared with 45.9% in 2001, due to natural turnover of staff and their replacement by younger staff members with different profiles, hired at lower grades.

Staff category by major office and office type2 6. In 2001, 34.5% of staff members holding long-term appointments were assigned to headquarters, 39.9% to regional offices and 25.6% to country offices. In December 2011 the proportions were, respectively, 26.3% (of which 3.5% concerns staff members working in special programmes and collaborative arrangements), 23.8% and 49.9%. Thus, it can be seen that the percentage of long-term staff located at the country level has almost doubled during the last 10 years – a significant shift. This trend is an indicator of the more rational and strategic deployment of human resources throughout the Organization that is being undertaken in support of WHO’s country operations (Figure 2). 1 2

7. Between 2001 and 2011, the number of staff holding long-term contracts in the national professional officer category increased more than fivefold, rising from 172 in 2001 to 894 in 2011. 8. Figure 3 indicates that, in the general service staff category, staff numbers at country office level increased gradually between 2001 and 2006, with the growth becoming more rapid from 2006 to 2010. Since then, the staff numbers concerned have remained stable. Conversely, since 2010 staff numbers for this category have declined noticeably at headquarters. Over the same period, a slight growth in numbers has been recorded at regional office level.

Distribution of staff by sex 9. The representation of women in the professional and higher categories has increased steadily over the past 10 years, rising from 31.8% in December 2001 to 39.8% in December 2011. Over the past 20 years, representation of women has almost doubled. Figure 4 illustrates this improvement by year over that period, highlighting the redoubled efforts made to achieve the target of gender balance. If the current trend is maintained and efforts are made across all major office locations, gender parity in the Organization could be a realistic target for the next decade (Figure 5).

10. As at 31 December 2011, of the 2290 staff members in the professional and higher categories on long-term appointments 1379 (60.2%) were men and 911 were women (39.8%). From grade P.4 up to the level of ungraded posts, men outnumber women (Table 2), although the number of women has been increasing steadily over time. For example, in 2001, 34.8% of staff members at grade P.4 were women, while as at 31 December 2011, the percentage had increased to 41.0%. Over the same period, the percentage of women at grade P.5 rose from 24.5% to 33.6%. At the most senior levels (from grade P.6 up to the ungraded level), the percentage of women remained almost unchanged: 22.9% in 2001 and 22.2% in December 2011. 11. In the national professional officer category, the percentage of women has increased as well: in December 2011 it was 35.5%, compared with 29.1% in 2001. In the general service category, whereas women made up 58.8% of the category in December 2001, they now represent 51.7%.

Geographical representation 12. As at 31 December 2011, 871 posts counted for geographical representation in the professional and higher categories were held by staff members from developing countries (44.8% of all such posts); 1074 of these posts (55.2% of the total) were held by staff members from developed countries.

6

A65/34

In 2001, 38.5% of staff members in such posts were nationals of developing countries. Figure 6 below reflects this upward trend in terms of staff numbers.1 Figure 6. Evolution of staff numbers in the professional and higher categories in posts counted for geographical representation, 2001–2011

13. As at 31 December 2011, of the 196 Member States (including two Associate Members), 100 were within their desirable range of geographical representation (four were at the top of their desirable range); 43 Member States (including two Associate Members) were unrepresented; five were underrepresented and 48 were overrepresented (Table 3). Figure 7 shows the 20 Member States with the highest representation within the professional and higher categories. Taken together, they account for 45% of the staff members in the professional and higher categories. Overrepresented countries are found in all the WHO regions.

Posts held by language specialists, together with the posts of seconded staff and staff working in partnerships, are not counted for the purposes of geographical representation.

14. Tables 4a–f give details of the status of representation of Member States for each region (the data exclude staff members in posts funded by their country of nationality). The following changes have taken place since the last annual report as at 31 December 2010: • four Member States that were previously unrepresented (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Iceland, Seychelles and Suriname) are now within their desirable range of geographical representation; • eight Member States that were previously overrepresented (Algeria, Colombia, Germany, Madagascar, Niger, Spain, South Africa, and Sweden) are now within their desirable range of geographical representation; • four Member States that were within their desirable range of geographical representation (Argentina, Bangladesh, Islamic Republic of Iran and Nepal) are now overrepresented; • one Member State that was within its desirable range of geographical representation (Israel) is now underrepresented;

8

A65/34

• three Member States that were within their desirable range of geographical representation (Belize, Haiti and Lithuania) are now unrepresented.

Age, grade, length of service and turnover of staff 15. As at 31 December 2011, in the professional and higher categories, 50.0% of staff members are under 50 years of age. In the national professional officer category, staff in this age range represent 60.4% of the total, and in the general service category, 67.6% (Tables 5 and 6, Figure 8). Figure 8. Distribution of staff by age and category % 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 20 – 29 30 – 39 40 – 49 Years All staff Staff in the professional and higher categories Staff in the general services category Staff in the national professional officer category 50 – 59

16. When the figures are analysed by sex, it can be seen that men in the professional and higher categories are generally in a higher age bracket than women. As a consequence, they will retire before their female colleagues, which could offer an opportunity to improve the gender balance further (Table 5 and Table 6). 17. In 2001, staff members with less than five years of service represented 34.0% of the total number of staff holding long-term appointments; by contrast, in 2011 they represent 46.5%. These numbers reflect the marked increase in fixed-term recruitment during recent years (Table 7). Since 2005, the average length of service has remained stable at about seven years for staff in the professional and higher categories, and about eight years for staff in the general service category.

18. Table 8 provides data on staff appointments, including those of staff members who commenced employment in the period 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011. In the case of the professional and higher categories, 57 staff members (68.7% of appointments in these categories) were recruited externally, 15 appointments (18.1%) were conversions of existing temporary contracts and 11 staff members (13.3%) were appointed through interagency transfer. 19. According to current projections (Table 9 and Figure 10), 1031 staff members, representing 15.0% of the workforce, are due to retire in the next five years (20.1% of these are employed in the professional and higher categories). Cumulatively, 2198 staff members, 32.0% of the workforce, are due to retire in the next 10 years (with 41.3% of the staff members concerned employed in the professional and higher categories).

Staff mobility across WHO regions 20. Table 10 and Figures 11 and 12 present an analysis of staff in the professional and higher categories by major office and region of nationality. The data for headquarters are found in Table 10. It can be observed that staff from a particular region tend to be employed within their own geographical region – with the exception of the Western Pacific Region. At headquarters, the majority of staff are nationals of one of two regions.

21. Table 11 provides details on the movement of staff within the Organization during 2011. The largest reassignment rate concerned the African Region (27.4%, of which 95.6% was within the Region). 22. As can be seen in Table 11 and Figure 13a, a total of 164 staff members were subject to change in duty station, representing 7.7% of the total number of staff in the professional and higher categories at 31 December 2011. Of the 164 staff moves, 46 involved movement outside a WHO region (or headquarters). This suggests that there is a higher propensity among staff members to move within a 12

major office, than between major offices. Figure 13b shows that nearly three quarters of the mobility results from staff moving out of headquarters and the Western Pacific Region, while Figure 13c shows that nearly two thirds of rotation takes place within the African Region and the Western Pacific Region.

Occupational groups 23. Half the posts held by staff in the professional and higher categories (50.3%) are in the occupational group “Dental, nutrition, medical, nursing and veterinary specialists”. Within this group, 90.5% are “Medical specialists” (of which 46.9% are Public health specialists) and represent the vast majority (for further specializations, see Table 12). The second largest occupational group is that of “Administrative specialists”, which accounts for 31.3%. In that group, 17.4% of posts are held by “Computer information systems specialists”, 15.7% by Public information specialists, 13.2% by “Administrative officers”, and 12.6% by “Management and programme analysts” (Table 12).

Staffing profile at the Pan American Sanitary Bureau: a quick overview 24. The Pan American Sanitary Bureau is the entity that issues contracts for staff working in PAHO/AMRO. The proportion of staff holding fixed-term appointments is 83.8% which is very similar to WHO at 87.9%. As at 31 December 2011, the Bureau had a total of 822 staff members on fixed-term or career service appointments.1 Of these, 432 (52.6%) were in the professional and higher categories, 67 (8.2%) were in the national professional officer category and 323 (39.2%) in the general service category. There were 159 staff on temporary appointments (16.2% of total staff), of whom 105 (66.0%) were in the professional and higher categories and 54 (34.0.%) in the general service staff category. 25. In PAHO/AMRO representative offices and subregional centres the percentage of women in the professional and higher categories continues to increase. As at 31 October 2011, women made up 42% of this group, compared with 40% during the 2010 reporting period. At the Bureau’s headquarters in Washington, DC, the percentage of women in professional and higher categories category has increased from 47% in 2010 to 56%. As at 31 October 2011, 59% of the 66 new staff members appointed to fixed-term positions in these categories were women. 26. Among fixed-term staff members, 55.0% (261 staff in the professional and higher categories and 195 in the general service category) are based in the Bureau’s headquarters in Washington, DC. The remaining 45.0% of fixed-term staff (171 in the professional and higher categories, 67 national professional officers, and 128 in the general service category) were based in country offices. A total of 53 countries are represented among the internationally recruited staff of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau, including 21 from regions other than the Region of the Americas. 27. As at 31 October 2011, there had been 36 staff reassignments involving staff in the professional and higher categories. Twenty-seven of these reassignments concerned the movement of staff between PAHO’s country offices and centres; three involved the movement of staff from the Bureau’s headquarters to the countries; and six involved the movement of staff from country offices to the headquarters in Washington, DC.

NON-STAFF PROFILE 28. This section contains data on individuals with the following types of contract that do not confer the status of staff member on their holder: Agreement for Performance of Work, Special Services

The career service appointment was discontinued in 2002. However, staff members who held such an appointment on 1 July 2002 and who remain below grade P.6/D.1 retain the appointment until they separate.

Agreement and Consultant.1 The three types of contract are used and administered through the Procurement module in the Global Management System. In addition, this section includes details of Junior Professional Officers. These employees hold contracts issued by UNDP, which provides a central service to WHO. In view of the nature of their contracts, however, they do not appear elsewhere in the report. • Agreement for Performance of Work. These agreements are used to contract individuals or companies to provide services or prepare a specific product (Table A). Examples of the type of work for which such an agreement should normally be used include the preparation of a paper without the need for travel; the translation of a document; acting as a local conference organizer with responsibility for the logistics of a meeting or other event; or lay-out and design work. An individual engaged under an Agreement for Performance of Work is expected to deliver a results-oriented piece of work or services in a time-bound manner. In all cases, the individual engaged under an Agreement for Performance of Work is paid a fixedsum or maximum amount; does not normally work on WHO premises; does not perform work that requires close WHO technical guidance; and does not undertake travel for WHO (i.e. other than commuting and/or travelling for an occasional visit to WHO premises in order to present or discuss aspects of the work with WHO staff). An individual Agreement may be for any period of time from one day upwards. Table A.

• Consultant. Consultants should be recognized authorities or specialists in a specific field who are engaged in a technical advisory or consultative capacity, often bringing unique expertise to the Organization (Table B). They are not contracted to perform functions that are reflected in the organigram as positions of the unit or department concerned – these contracts should not duplicate staff work. A Consultant contract may normally be for a period of up to two years.

1 In 2011, the Pan American Sanitary Bureau had 1025 individuals working under a number of non-United Nations contractual mechanisms in PAHO/WHO representative offices (including centres) and subregional centres (Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information (BIREME) and Caribbean Epidemiology Centre (CAREC)). The PAHO/WHO representative offices employed 232 ministry staff seconded to PAHO, 288 employment agency staff, 98 Pan American Sanitary Bureau local employees, 198 national consultants, and 54 international consultants. The subregional centres employed 62 professionals and 93 administrative support staff.

• Special Services Agreement. This is a contract between the Organization and a national or resident of a host country for use of his/her services for either long or short assignments on a specific national project or activity (Table C). There are two situations where a Special Services Agreement may be concluded: (i) when the services of a national or resident of the host country are to be made available by WHO directly to the host government; or (ii) when, in the circumstances described in the definition section of these provisions, the services of nationals or residents of the host country are hired under a Special Services Agreement for a government project. Special Services Agreements are typically of 12 months’ duration, which may be renewed. Table C.

• Junior Professional Officer. The Junior Professional Officer Programme provides young professionals pursuing a career in development with hands-on experience in multilateral technical cooperation (Table D). The Programme is administered by UNDP through the Junior Professional Officer Service Centre. Junior Professional Officers are primarily sponsored for an initial two-year period, which may be extended for part or all of a third year, by their respective governments. They serve under the supervision of a senior staff member.
