28E.5 The objectives, expected accomplishments and indicators of achievement for the Division of Administration in the biennium 2006-2007 relating to specific areas of activity programmed in the context of programme 24 are detailed, together with related resources, under executive direction and management and programme of work.

The overall framework of the expected accomplishments and indicators of achievement is summarized in table 28E.1.

Table 28E.1 Framework of expected accomplishments and indicators of achievement by component

28E.6 The overall level of regular budget resources for the Division of Administration for the biennium 2006-2007 amounts to $99,898,700 (before recosting), reflecting a reduction of $2,359,400, or 2.3 per cent, over the 2004-2005 revised appropriation.

The reduction in costs reflects mainly a return on investment in upgrading the facilities infrastructure resulting in efficiencies in utilities consumption achieved through energy conservation projects, as well as the effects of rationalization of business processes and procedures resulting in savings in communication, supplies and equipment costs.

(a) The net increase of $286,900 under executive direction and management relates to $281,600 for delayed impact of posts and $5,300 for non-post requirements;

(b) The net decrease of $2,646,300 under programme of work relates to:

(i) An increase of $18,400 under subprogramme 2 for non-post requirements;

(ii) A decrease of $134,500 under subprogramme 3 for non-post requirements;

(iii) A net decrease of $2,530,200 under subprogramme 4 comprising an increase of $49,900 for posts and a decrease of $2,580,100 for non-post requirements.

28E.7 Extrabudgetary resources estimated at $25,101,700 for the biennium 2006-2007 will provide services, against reimbursement, to extrabudgetary administrative structures of United Nations organizations in Geneva in the domain of: (a) planning, programming and budgeting, as well as treasury and financial services; (b) human resources, including staff development services; (c) information and communication technology services, including IMIS services; (d) mailing, custodial, property management; and (e) procurement and transportation services.

This represents a $2,448,800 decrease in costs for posts (net decrease of 15 posts) and an increase of $1,087,500 for non-post requirements compared with the biennium 2004-2005.

The decrease with respect to posts is a net effect of: an increase of three Professional and 5 General Service (Other level) posts to address increased requirements resulting from an expansion experienced in the scope and volume of services in treasury operations, human resources management and support services; and a decrease of 23 General Service (Other level) posts in the financial area reflecting the change in arrangements for budgeting of costs for medical insurance and discontinuance of the payroll related services to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

28E.8 Pursuant to General Assembly resolution 58/269, resources totalling approximately $154,000 (regular budget) and $20,800 (extrabudgetary) were identified within the available capacity at the Professional level for the conduct of monitoring and evaluation, equivalent to the following:
