WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION FIFTY-SEVENTH WORLD HEALTH ASSEMBLY Provisional agenda item 17.1 A57/26 17 April 2004
Human resources: annual report Report by the Secretariat
1. This fifth annual report provides complete data on the human resources profile in WHO as at 31 December 2003, updating the report submitted to the Executive Board at its 113th session. It contains information on: the overall staffing situation by main location and grade, distribution of staff by sex, geographical representation, age profile, retirement age, nature of appointment, information on national professional officers and distribution of the workforce across the main occupational groups.
STAFFING PROFILE Appointment categories 2. At 31 December 2003, WHO had a total of 3842 staff members on either fixed-term appointments of one year or more, or career service/service appointments1 (both referred to hereafter as “fixed-term/service appointments”).2 Of these, 1490 (38.8%) were in the professional category, 2139 (55.7%) in the general services and 213 (5.5%) in the national professional officer category (see Table 1). The number of staff members holding fixed-term/service appointments had increased by 109 (3%) compared with the number at 31 December 2002, given in the annual report for 2002.3 3. As of 1 July 2003, and with the approval of the Director-General, service appointments were introduced to replace career service appointments. Staff members already holding career service appointments were not affected by this change. There are currently 37 such staff members in the professional category, compared with 39 on 31 December 2002 – a decrease of 5.1%. For the general services category the figure is 173, compared with 182 on 31 December 2002 – a decrease of 5%. At the present time, the two groups represent 2.5% and 8.1% of their respective categories. 4. To date, some 224 service appointments have been awarded to general service staff from the Regional Offices for South-East Asia, the Eastern Mediterranean and the Western Pacific. The review process is continuing to award service appointments, in accordance with the provisions established by the Director-General.

This figure includes staff members holding career service appointments on 1 July 2002. This figure excludes staff from PAHO and IARC. See document A56/38.

5. In addition to staff holding fixed-term/service appointments, there were 3713 staff holding temporary appointments (1505 short-term staff and 2208 term-limited staff) as at 31 December 2003 (see Table 11). 6. The figure and tables appearing in this document and the summary analyses that precede them relate to staff holding fixed-term/service appointments (unless otherwise specified).
Gender distribution 7. The distribution of staff with fixed-term/service appointments by organizational location, grade and sex is shown in Table 2. It can be seen that, of the 1490 professional staff members on fixedterm/service appointments, 990 (66.4%) are men and 500 (33.6%) are women. 8. The percentage of women in the professional category has increased since the last annual report (33.6% from 32.7%). Thus, while this report shows that there is a prevalence of women at the P.2 and P.3 grades, the representation of women at grade P.4 is 36.8%, at P.5 28.3% and at P.6/D.1 18.7%. Since the last report, the proportion of women at D.2 level has decreased slightly from 21.7% to 20%; in ungraded posts it has increased from 22.2% to 26.3%.
Geographical representation 9. The Fifty-sixth World Health Assembly approved a revised formula for establishing desirable ranges to ensure equitable geographical representation of staff.1 As a result of its implementation in July 2003: • five countries that were previously overrepresented (Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria and the Russian Federation) are now within their desirable range of representation; • three countries that were underrepresented (Austria, Italy and the United States of America) are now within their desirable range of representation; • two countries that were within their desirable range of representation (Israel and Viet Nam) are now underrepresented. 10. The following changes are due to other factors: (i) Staff movements. Four countries that were previously unrepresented (Belarus, Cyprus, Kazakhstan and Saint Kitts and Nevis) are now within their desirable range and two countries that were previously within their desirable range of representation (Barbados and Suriname) are now unrepresented. One country that was previously overrepresented (Côte d’Ivoire) is now within its desirable range of representation whereas four countries that were formerly within their desirable range of representation (Denmark, Gambia, Jordan and Mali) are now overrepresented.

(ii) Cyprus, which was formerly part of the Eastern Mediterranean Region, is now part of the European Region. 11. As of December 2003, 115 countries were within their desirable range (five of these having reached the top of their range of representation); 23 countries were overrepresented, 12 were underrepresented and 44 (including two Associate Members) were unrepresented (see Table 3). Table 4 gives details of the status of representation of countries. 12. Table 5 provides information on the distribution of staff by location of assignment and region of nationality. 13. In 2003, there were 208 appointments to the professional category; of these, 64 (30.8%) were nationals of unrepresented or underrepresented countries.
Age, length of service and turnover of staff 14. Almost half of the professional workforce (48.1%) is aged 50 years or older. In the general service and the national professional officer categories, 42.3% and 49.3% respectively are in their forties (see Table 6). 15. The largest single group of staff (37.1%) has less than five years of service. However, 58.6% of those who remain beyond the initial five-year period stay with the Organization for 10 years or more. The average length of service is currently eight years for professional staff and 13 years for general service staff (see Table 8). 16. Table 9 provides data on staff appointments during 2003. In the professional category, it shows that 98 (32.7%) were recruited externally, 91 (40.7%) represented conversions of existing temporary contracts, in line with the Director-General’s commitment to review the situation of “long-term shortterm” staff and their possible transition to fixed-term status, and a further 19 (26.3%) were reassigned through interagency transfer. 17. According to current projections, approximately 15% of the workforce (including 19% of the professional category) is due to retire within the next five years and over a third within the next 10 years (see Table 10).
Occupational groups 18. Some 47% of the posts held by professional staff are in the category “Dental, nutrition, medical, nursing and veterinary specialists”. Within this group, 92.3% are “Medical specialists” and 1.8% are “Nurses”. The second largest occupational group is that of “Administrative specialists”, which accounts for 28.2% (see Table 12). Of that group, 17.4% are “Financial management specialists”, 14.7% are “Computer information systems specialists”, while 13.1% are “Administrative officers”.
