GoB-UN POP 2010-2014Common Budgetary Framework: Sources of FundingRegular Resources: Funding stream that comes from a more predictable annual/biannual pledging or assessed contributionsfrom member countries (especially in the case of Funds and Programmes, whose core budget envelopes are decided upon forthe whole programming cycle by their governing bodies). Because of its established nature and predictable frequency (althoughamounts may vary from time to time), this can be indicated with greater degree of predictability over the whole programmingcycle. Assessed funding from the different Specialized Agencies follows different budgetary cycles and their availability is dictatedby the respective appropriation mechanisms as determined by governing bodies. Indications in these cases are tentative at best.Other resources: Earmarked non-core/extra budgetary resources are less predictable and depend on resource mobilizationefforts both at global and country levels. However, these types of earmarked resources (at global level, these are sometimesreferred to as ‘thematic’ funds) do not offer any flexibility to UN system agencies or the UN Country Team to deploy the resourceselsewhere. Resources from cost-sharing agreements with governments or donors for projects (not included in above categories)will also be included in the projection.Resources to be mobilised: The Common Budgetary Framework (CBF) projection takes into account resources which arealready secured, as well as resources that are firmly pledged and/or in the hard pipeline. The areas for which mobilization effortwill be launched collectively will be included in the CBF/Annual CBF as the ’funding gap’. The development of the Annual CBFwill capture the actual receipt of funds and any change of status in pledges of specific result areas. The Annual CBF will alsocapture the divergence between the timing of receipt of core/assessed and noncore/extra budgetary funds against what wasarticulated at the planning stage of the CBF. In case of situations where a funding gap arises due to non-receipt of the anticipatedfunds, the UN Country Team can establish a resource mobilization strategy to meet the gaps or use its own discretion to allocateresources from alternative sources like donor trust funds.Source: UNDAF Action Plan Guidance Note, Annex 3: Common Budgetary Framework (CBF), October 2010109.
