Quarterly Status Report

The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) Quarterly Status Report, dated May 11, 2010, details the institute's financial standing for the 2009/2010 fiscal year, highlighting significant challenges in collecting member country contributions and a critical lack of core budget reserves.

• As of May 8, 2010, the IAI had collected 81% of the approved country contributions for the 2009/2010 fiscal year, with total uncollected amounts reaching US$1.4 million.
• The institute's core budget is in a precarious state, with reserves insufficient to cover two months of operations. While total cash increased by 19.8% by March 2010 due to Program Funds from MacArthur and IDRC, the balance of Core Budget Funds decreased by 40.2% compared to the previous year.
• Actual expenses for the period of July 2009 to March 2010 were 20% lower than the budget, totaling US$697,962 against a YTD budget of US$872,337. Savings were driven by frozen travel and cancelled activities in the Director's Special Fund, though Salaries & Benefits exceeded the budget by 3.3% due to the US dollar's decrease against the Brazilian Real.
• The IAI faces administrative risks regarding its Host Country Agreement with Brazil and the employment of four staff members provided by INPE. The institute cannot currently afford to take over these staff payments if the existing contract review results in a deterioration of the situation.
