A/56/359 Supplementary information A. Direct programme and administrative costs for 2002 1. Upon approval of pending fund-raising applications, the provisions made for programme and administrative costs are pegged at the minimum and will be increased as funding comes forward. Consultants’ fees and travel: $23,100 2. This provision will be needed to cover the services of a professional designer for the cover pages of UNIDIR publications and consultancies for the missile study. It reflects a negative growth of $85,300 over the 2001 revised requirements. Ad hoc expert groups: $50,000 3. This provision, reflecting a decrease of $19,000 over the 2001 budget requirements, will be needed to cover the travel expenses of experts participating in the Conference on Missiles to be held in 2001. Salaries and related staff costs: $448,300 4. These estimated requirements are needed to cover the salaries and related staff costs of UNIDIR regular staff. In 2001, the regular staff consists of the Director (D-2), the Deputy Director (D-1) and two General Service staff. Total estimated requirements under this heading reflect a negative growth of $64,000 over the 2001 revised requirements because part of the 2000 salaries and related staff costs have been charged against the 2001 accounts. Personal service contracts: $431,800 5. This provision will be needed to extend the contracts of the existing in-house research staff. In 2000, these contracts were brought into line with regular United Nations contracts and in 2001 the related posts were graded by the Personnel Service of the United Nations Office at Geneva. These estimates take into account the increases to bring salaries in line with the related gradings. However, the estimated requirements reflect an increase of $2,400 over the 2001 revised requirements only, as no provision has as yet been made for contracts with research institutions for 2002. Official travel of staff: $50,000 6. The estimated requirements for travel of staff in 2002 reflect a decrease of $20,000 over the 2001 revised estimates; project-related travel will be added if funds are received for this purpose. The Director and members of the staff receive invitations to conferences and seminars which must be declined because of the limited travel budget of UNIDIR. On the other hand, they also receive a number of invitations where the costs are covered by the host institution; such travel will, at times, be combined with UNIDIR missions, thereby reducing costs to the Institute. Travel for fund-raising purposes will, as far as possible, be combined with travel for other purposes. 19
