Onchocerciasis Control Programme in the Volta River Basin area Programme de Lutte contre I'Onchocercose dans Ia R6gion du Bassin de la Volta JOINT PROGR{MME COMMITTEE Office of the Chairman JOINT PROGRAMME COMMITIEE Sixth session JPC.CCP COMITE CONJOINT DU PROGRAMMEBureau du Pr6sident JPC6 .4 (A) ORIGINAL: FRENCH November 1985 This will leave Provisional agenda item 13 ESTI}4ATED EXPENDITURE FOR 1985 At its preceeding session, the Committee approved a total budget of $2O 867 OOO for 1985. On the first of November this year, disbursements and unliquidated obligations came to a total of $17 986 OOO. To this figure must be added an estimaEed expenditure $L 942 OOO for the remaining two months of 1985. Geneva 10-13 December 1985 Thus, total estimated expenditure for 1985 will reach $fg gZa OOO a balance of $939 OOO or an implementation rate of 95.5%. This unexpended balance includes $S:g OOO from the Onchocerciasis Chemotherapy Project (84.4% implemented) and $4OO OOO for all other activities (97.7% implernenEed). Ihese resulLs confirm the soundness of the principles applied at the Lime of presentation of the 1985 budget, due respect to Ehe financial consEraints imposed by the prevailing economic situation and without prejudice t,o the efficiency and excellent results achieved by the Programme. Tables I and II demonstrate an implementation rate which exceeds 90% for Ehe most part. However, table I reveals . - an excess expenditure of L6% for the Office of the Director; this is accounted for principally by the purchase of statistical equipment (micro computers, etc.), which is intended to reduce dependence on expensive external assist.ance for these servicesl - the amount, spent. for fellowships ($2:O OOO) was less than the amounE provided in the budget, although more than in 1984 ($1SO OOO). The reasons for Ehis were a shorEage of qualified candidates and a difficulty in.placement of these candidat.esl - that the work accomplished by the socioeconomic evaluation uniE was less expen- sive than estimated because of significant contributions from the naEional Eeams; and - underexpenditure for chemoEherapy which was due to Ehe sma11 number of contracts actually signed compared with the number that were anticipaEed for signature. Table II reveals that, on the whole, the implementation rate for various cate-gories of the budget was satisfactory except. in the following instance: 'l JPC6. 4 (A) Page 2 - contracts (88%, see chemotherapy); - insecticides (1f5% due to heavier rains than predicted); - capiEal expenditure (13O% due t.o the acceleraEed purchase of amortized vehicles and equipment as well as to t.he purchase of computers); - personnel (82.5% because staff departures were not immediately replaced, and there r.ras a reduction in the entomological evaluation neEwork. one should also reaLize that during the year, the value of the US dol1ar fell consi-derably after an earlier rise. The 1985 budget had been calculated on the assumpEion that $1. equals FF 8.40 (this currency consumes 50% of programme expenditure). After attaining a high-water mark of FF 1O. the US doIlar fell ro about FF 8.,which had consi-derable influence on disbursements over the last five months. i l, A comparison of expenditure for 1984 and 1985 (table III) shows an expenditure of $SZg OOO of which $436 OOO was for chemorherapy and 9143 a combination of vector control activities (highest \^rater f low rates in epidemiological activities (more surveys) as well as a reduction in the applied research conEracts. increase in total OOO resulted fro 1O years) and amount spenE on Obviously, the above is based on estimated results. once the final accounts are closed and the final changes included.
