General comments
The Natural Sciences Sector has set aside 10% of its activities budget (excluding Category 1 Institutes) to contribute to the six Intersectoral Platforms.
IOC will participate fully in the implementation of relevant IPs; however, and unless the General Conference decides otherwise, the IOC financial
contribution will remain within IOC and not be pooled with the contributions recorded under Part II.A “Intersectoral Platforms”. The remaining 36 C/5
proposed envelope has been assigned to manage the specific objectives and modalities of seven MLAs, including MLA 3 designed to reinforce the
dissemination and popularization of sciences.
The above chart shows the decentralization situation of the total budget of the Sector. With regards to the activities budget only, the decentralization rate
has increased from 39.0% in the 35 C/5 to 40.4% in the proposed 36 C/5. In particular, efforts were made to increase the decentralization of the Sector’s
activities funds (including IOC) to the Africa region from 11.3% in the 35 C/5 to 12.9% in the 36 C/5. If IOC’s activity budget were excluded (being more
global in nature) Major Programme II’s rate of decentralization to the Africa region increases from 12.9% to 14.1% in the 36 C/5. Asia received the second
largest level of total decentralized activities (including IOC) with 9.9%, followed by Latin America and the Caribbean with 8.0%, Arab States with 6.5%
and Europe and North America with 3.1%.
MP II benefits from 170 established posts funded from the regular budget and 3 posts funded from the PSC income. The reinforcement of the Sector’s
presence on PCPD activities to ensure the follow-up of various activities initiated with the United Nations and other Donors can be noted, in particular
through the creation of a NPO post in Pakistan in response to the 2010 crisis.
