CORE BUDGET REQUEST FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016/2017 and PRELIMINARY REQUEST 2017-2019

The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) requested a core budget of US$1,416,116 for the 2016/2017 fiscal year. The budget focuses on maintaining operations in Montevideo, managing scientific programs like CRN III and the new SGP-HD, and transitioning to digital outreach. Key administrative updates include the implementation of SAP Business One and the closure of offices in Brazil.

• The proposed Core Budget for the 2016-2017 fiscal year is US$1,416,116, which is a slight decrease of US$3,948 compared to the 2015-2016 budget of US$1,420,064.
• Salaries and Benefits constitute the largest portion of the IAI Core Budget at 66%, down from 71% in 2014/2015. This reduction is attributed to the elimination of the IT Manager position, savings from operations in Uruguay, and reduced cost of living adjustments.
• The IAI is managing several scientific programs, including the CRN III (2012-2017), which required a no-cost extension beyond 2016 and a redesign of funding flows for 2015/2016 due to challenges with 'credible interdisciplinarity'. Additionally, a new SGP-HD program is being launched with project selection expected by the end of 2016.
• The IAI is expanding its international scientific engagement, including participating in the UNFCCC SBSTA and the biodiversity convention CBD. It planned to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) in September 2016.
• The IAI has shifted its outreach strategy from paper-based communications to digital platforms, eliminating the paper version of the IAI Newsletter in favor of an enhanced website, Facebook, Twitter, and a YouTube channel.
• The IAI implemented a new Business Information system in 2015 called SAP Business One to improve reporting and data security for country contributions, projects, and participants.
• The preliminary three-year budget forecast shows a projected increase in total core budget requirements, rising from US$1,416,116 in 2016/2017 to US$1,521,334 by 2018/2019.
