General comments
The Social and Human Sciences Sector has set aside 10% of its activities budget to implement a number of activities through the Intersectoral Platforms
and will also reinforce interdisciplinary efforts in support of Africa, gender equality, youth and the most vulnerable segments of society, LDCs, SIDS, and
countries in post-conflict and post-disaster situations.
MP III has assigned 41.2% of its total regular programme resources to MLA2, 32.9% to MLA3 and 25.9% to MLA1 to manage the specific objectives and
modalities of the three Main Lines of Action of the draft 36 C/5.
The above chart shows the decentralization situation of the total budget of the Sector. With regard to the activities budget only, the rate of decentralization
has increased from 47.9% in the 35 C/5 to 48.3% in the 36 C/5. Priority is placed on Africa as the main decentralized region with a rate of 16.1% in the
36 C/5 in comparison to 14.8% in 35 C/5. The rate of decentralization to Latin America and the Caribbean is 10.1%, followed by Asia and the Pacific with
9.4%, Arab States with 8.8% and Europe and North America with 3.9%.
Overall, MP III benefits from 84 established posts funded from the regular budget and two posts funded from the PSC income. In comparison to the
35 C/5, the number of posts has been reduced at Headquarters by two posts and has increased by one post in Africa.
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 the regions.
