QUARTERLY STATUS REPORT YTD – OCT 31, 2007

The report details the financial status of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) as of October 31, 2007. It highlights that 53% of approved country contributions for the 2007/2008 fiscal year had been collected, with a heavy reliance on the US, Brazil, Canada, and Mexico. The document outlines expenditures for the Collaborative Research Networks (CRN I and II), Training Institutes, and a new Small-Grants Program for Human Dimensions. It also notes in-kind contributions from Brazil totaling US$185,776.30 for the 2006/2007 fiscal year and reports a favorable external audit for the same period.

• As of October 31, 2007, the IAI had collected 53% of the approved country contributions for the 2007/2008 fiscal year. The institute remains heavily dependent on its four largest contributors: Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and the USA.
• Four member countries—Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Paraguay—have never paid their contributions since joining, do not attend IAI meetings, and have minimal participation in scientific programs. Uruguay has not issued payments since the 1997/1998 fiscal year.
• Brazil provided in-kind contributions totaling US$185,776.30 in the 2006/2007 fiscal year, covering expenses such as salaries, office rent, security, and maintenance. In Brazilian real terms, these contributions decreased by 22.4% from 2004/2005 to 2006/2007 due to the weakening of the US dollar.
• Core budget expenses for the period of July to October 2007 were US$303,516, which is 9.4% below the budgeted amount of US$334,927. The primary variances occurred in Salaries & Benefits, Travel, and Dissemination & Outreach.
• The IAI launched a Small-Grants Program for Human Dimensions (SGP-HD) with a US$800,000 grant from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) for a two-year period. Six proposals were recommended for funding at the 14th COP meeting in Manaus, Brazil.
• The external audit for the 2006/2007 fiscal year, conducted by BDO Trevisan Auditores Independientes in September 2007, resulted in a favorable opinion without qualification.
