Severe and repeated delays in the installment of pledged funds for the UNU endowment fund in respect of UNU/IIST is estimated to have "cost" UNU/IIST an approximately US$140.000 loss in income for the 1992-1993 Biennium.2
This together with lowering yield has seriously hampered UNU/IIST's possibilities to fulfill its very agressive programme of activities.
The 1992-1993 Biennium Budget had been cut down from US$1,523,000 (excluding expected, but not materialized US$250,000 Specific Programme Contributions) to US$1,320,000. A contribution of US$50,000 was obtained from the UNU-UNESCO Japan Funds-in-Trust Programme for the UCiST workshop.
Actual budget performance by March 24, 2000 shows full compliance with this significantly down-sized budget.
We first show the UN Council approved
1994-1995 Biennium Budget.
The drop in expected income has influenced the variable
expenses, and hence the real purpose of UNU/IIST:
programmatic activities: fellowships in connection with
research, advanced development and
training, the most. Fixed expenses: basic institutional build-up
and salaries were committed expenses. Travel expenses may seem
under-estimated in July 1992, but then most travel expenses
were then attributed to
training workshop expenses. In all: it is slightly misleading to
show the above (24.7.92) budget as budgetting procedures were then
rather different from what they are now.
