ALTERNATIVA DE PRESUPUESTO BÁSICO PARA EL AÑO FISCAL 2004/2005 CONTRIBUCIONES DE LOS PAÍSES MIEMBRO PARA EL PERÍODO 2004/2007

The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) proposes an alternative budget for fiscal year 2004/2005 that reduces total requested funds by $28,303 compared to the previous year. A key change is the creation of a permanent Program Manager position, whose costs will be shared between the Basic Budget and the CRN II Program, transitioning to 100% Basic Budget funding by 2007/2008. The IAI warns that its operational sustainability is highly dependent on member countries paying their contributions on time, as cash flow analysis indicates that receiving less than 86% of committed funds would jeopardize the Executive Directorate's operations.

• The alternative budget request for the 2004/2005 fiscal year is $900,867, representing a net reduction of $28,303 compared to the 2003/2004 request.
• A permanent Program Manager position is being established to handle the technical management of all programs and projects. To reduce financial pressure, the cost will be shared: 30% from the IAI Basic Budget and 70% from the CRN II Program in the first year, moving to a 50%-50% split over the next two years, and 100% Basic Budget funding in fiscal year 2007/2008.
• Due to uncertainty regarding member contributions, international staff salaries will be frozen without performance adjustments for three years, and no funds will be allocated for salary adjustments based on job classification or salary scales.
• Cash flow analysis shows that if member contributions fall below 86% of the committed amount, the Executive Directorate's operations will be endangered. In a 'Most Probable Scenario' (86% contribution), the IAI would consume 45% of its $500,000 initial reserves to cover unpaid sums, leaving insufficient funds for the 2007/2008 fiscal year.
• Member contributions for 2004-2005 total $945,000, with the United States providing the largest share at 61.11% ($550,000), followed by Canada at 12.47% ($115,000) and Brazil at 8.63% ($80,000).
