BUDGET 1988-1989:
CONTINGENCY PLMl
Report by the Regional Director
The financial crisis facing WHO in 1986-1987 as a result of a significant shortfall in assessed contributions prompted the Director-General to take certain provisional and contingent economy measures in March 1986 in order to avoid a situation in which the Organization would not be able to meet its financial obligations. As a result, out of an estimated shortfall of US$35 million globally, the Western Pacific Region had to sustain a programme budget of US$3 269 000 for implementation reduction 1986-1987. (In addition, owing to the continuing decline of the US dollar, principally in relation to the Swiss franc, the miO 1986-1987 global programme budget has been further reduced by US$9.4 million, of which US$500 000 was apportioned to the Western Pacific Region.) With the same financial situation expected to continue. in 1988-1989, the Director-General has, in the interest of prudent management of the Organization's financial resources, prepared a contingency plan for programme budget implementation reductions for 1988-1989, based on the assumption that the shortfall in assessed contributions would be of the order of US$50 million. These reductions have been apportioned among all organizational levels, resulting in an amount of US$4 370 000 being withdrawn from the working allocation of the \vestern Pacific Region for 1988-1989. The attached document gives the breakdown of these programme budget implementation reductions between country activities and regional and intercountry activities for each programme. The Regional Committee is invited to take note and, if it so t-rishes, to comment on the contingent programme budget implementation reductions planned for the vlestern Pacific Region in 1988-1989.

Each country sets its own programme reduction priorities in close collaboration. with the WHO Representative. At the regional and intercountry level, reductions were principally made to planned meetings and duty travel, keeping in mind the priority requirements of the countries. Certain activities reduced will be implemented in the next biennium, i f funds become available, ,while extrabudgetary resources are a possibility for some of the reduced activities.
