Overview of the Financial Status for FY 2020-2021

This briefing from the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) provides an overview of the financial status for the 2020-2021 fiscal year, detailing party contributions, budget performance, and administrative controls.

• As of 30 April 2021, cash contributions received by the IAI represented 57% of the approved contributions for the 2020/2021 fiscal year. The non-submission of expected funds is creating stress on the IAI Directorate's ability to complete activities and fulfill its mandate.
• The IAI's budget performance for the period from July 2020 to February 2021 showed that expenses were 16.7% lower than foreseen in the core budget. This decrease is attributed primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced costs for international travel and physical meetings.
• The IAI notes a significant loss in the purchasing power of the minimum party contribution of USD 5,000, which has decreased by approximately 89% since 1992.
• A proposed amendment to Article XIII of the Agreement, which would change pledge increments to US$ 1,000 and set a minimum contribution of US$ 5,000, has not yet entered into force because the required two-thirds of member Parties have not notified the Depository of their domestic legal completion.
