Solicitud de Presupuesto Básico 2009/2010

The IAI's operational budget for the 2009/2010 fiscal year is proposed at US$ 1,163,117, maintaining a level similar to the previous year. The budget supports the administration of scientific programs such as CRN II and SGP-HD, capacity-building initiatives in the Andes and Chile, and the institute's observer status at the UNFCCC. Key financial adjustments include a reduction in salary supplements for locally contracted staff following negotiations with Brazil and an increase in the Director's Special Fund to US$ 60,000 to support activities in Cuba. The budget is primarily funded by member country contributions, with the United States providing the largest share at US$ 691,000.

• The total operational budget request for the 2009/2010 fiscal year is US$ 1,163,117, which is nearly identical to the 2008/2009 budget of US$ 1,163,462.
• The IAI is managing several scientific initiatives, including the CRN II and SGP-HD programs, and a project on land-use changes and biofuels in the La Plata Basin funded by Canada's International Development Research Center (IDRC) for CAD 444,000.
• Capacity-building activities for 2009 and 2010 include a Science and Policy forum on Ecosystem Services and Climate Change Adaptation in the Andes (July 2009 in Quito, Ecuador) and a training institute on city responses to climate change (2010 in Santiago, Chile).
• The IAI maintains observer status at the UNFCCC and participates in the SBSTA to connect regional scientists with international convention activities.
• Salary and benefit costs are reduced to US$ 777,477 for 2009/2010, partly due to a 50% reduction in salary supplements for local staff after negotiations with Brazilian representatives.
• The Director's Special Fund was increased to US$ 60,000 to accommodate new activities for Cuba under the CRN II program.
• The United States is the largest contributor to the operational budget, providing US$ 691,000 (60.75%), followed by Canada at US$ 143,000 (12.63%) and Brazil at US$ 100,000 (8.73%).
