Core Budget and Country Contributions for FY 2025-2026 and Preliminary request 2026-2028

This briefing from the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) presents the core budget request and country contribution proposals for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, alongside a preliminary request for 2026-2028.

• The IAI Directorate has implemented administrative adjustments to improve spending efficiency and streamline staff responsibilities. The institute continues to use specialized consultancies to meet high-level professional needs while containing costs associated with permanent personnel.
• Budget allocations for salaries, benefits, and travel for the 2025-2026 fiscal year remain unchanged from the previous year. Due to the static travel budget, the IAI recommends prioritizing funding requests from event organizers to maximize participation in strategic activities.
• The IAI is prioritizing increased institutional visibility and outreach, leading to budget adjustments for outreach activities and the development of new website sections for the IAI Transdisciplinary Academy, IAI-Pages Mobility Grants, internships, and STeP information.
• The proposal for country contributions suggests an increase of 20% compared to the 2023-2024 period, with subsequent annual increases of 5%. The Directorate reports that operational responsibilities are under pressure due to delayed or unpaid contributions from some Parties.
• The Executive Director's Special Fund is set at $54,000, which is the same amount as the previous fiscal year.
