This briefing from the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) presents the operating budget request for the 2023-2024 fiscal year and preliminary requests for 2024-2026. It details staffing changes, IT centralization in Uruguay, and a request for voluntary contribution increases from member countries to alleviate financial pressure caused by payment delays.

• The IAI's operating budget request for the 2023-2024 fiscal year is US$ 1,400,000, which is the same total as the 2022-2023 period. Preliminary requests for subsequent years increase to US$ 1,536,326 for 2024-2025 and US$ 1,637,057 for 2025-2026.
• The IAI is experiencing financial pressure due to the lack of payment or delays in contributions from some member countries. While the IAI is not requesting a formal increase in contributions for 2023-2024, it is inviting countries—especially those whose contributions have not increased since 1992—to consider voluntary increases.
• Staffing for the IAI includes five international positions, one locally hired person, and two staff members provided by the Laboratorio Técnico de Uruguay (LATU) under a host country agreement. The IAI has also utilized a six-month internship program funded by the Republic of Korea to support the Science, Technology and Policy (STeP) Fellowship and the registration of scientific articles.
• Information and communication technology (ICT) services, including networking, hardware, and telephony, are centralized through a contractor based in Montevideo, Uruguay, with no cost increases reported for the 2023-2024 period.
