As the allocations for these institutes have a global reach and their distribution by region is not yet available, they are not included in the decentralization rate.

General comments
The Education Sector has reserved 10% of its activities budget (excluding institutes) to support activities under the Intersectoral Platforms (IPs). It is
therefore expected that thematic areas directly covered by the IPs, such as education and HIV and AIDS, support to countries in post-conflict and postdisaster
situations, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence as well as climate change education, will be financially reinforced through funding
reserved for IPs.
Within the overall sectoral priorities, 54.1% of the regular budget (excluding education institutes) will be allocated to MLA 1. With regards to the
institutes, the sector proposes to strengthen them as is shown by their share of the activities budget which rises from 31.2% in the 35 C/5 to 34.4% in the
Draft 36 C/5.
The above chart shows the decentralization situation of the total budget of the sector (excluding global institutes). If focused on the activities budget only,
the rate of decentralization (excluding the four global institutes as their activities are of global and inter-regional scope) remains at the same level as in the
35 C/5 with 72.8%. Priority remains placed on Africa as the main decentralized region with a rate of 32.0%, followed by Asia and the Pacific with 18.0%,
Latin America and the Caribbean with 14.0%, Arab States with 8.1% and Europe and North America 0.7%.
Overall, MP I benefits from 258 established posts funded from the regular budget and 3 posts funded from the PSC income.
For information, decentralized resources represent staff physically present at Field Offices and activities implemented by Field Offices. In addition, there
are staff resources at Headquarters and funds earmarked for global and regional activities which are also of benefit to regions.
