Revised requirements in 1986 from all sources of funds
5.
Revised requirements for 1986 from all sources of funds are estimated at $463,905,500, and are $86,030,000, or 22.8 per cent, higher than the initial estimate of $377,875,500. The increase is largely attributable to increased funding for Special Programmes by $109,262,500, from $32,044,900 to $141,307,400; this is offset by a reduction in funding under General Programmes of $23,475,900, from $330,410,000 to $306,934,100 (see table A above). The revised estimate of $15,664,000 for the United Nations regular budget represents savings of $1,082,000 from an initial approved appropriation of $16,746,000 and results from economy measures taken because of the financial crisis in the United Nations (see table A above and document A/AC.96/677, Part 1, para. 1.17.5).
Projected requirements in 1987 from all sources of funds
6. The High Commissioner estimates requirements in 1987 from all sources of funds at $380,164,000: a decrease of $83,741,500, or 18.1 per cent, compared with the revised estimate of $463,905,500 for 1986. Total projected resources for operational activities in 1987 are estimated at $315,897,000 or 21 per cent less than the corresponding revised estimate for 1986 of $399,873,500. On the other hand, the projected 1987 costs for programme support and administration of $64,267,000 show a slight increase of 0.4 per cent over the revised 1986 allocation of $64,032,000 (see table A above).
7. The estimate of $339,140,000 under General Programmes in 1987 includes amounts of $29,922,000 for Programme Reserve and $10 million for the Emergency Fund (see table A above and document A/AC.96.677, Part 1, paras. 1.2.2, 1.4.3 and table III). In Part I, paragraph 1.2.2 of his report, the High Commissioner states that the 1987 projection for General Programmes has been "...prepared on the basis of refugee situations and plans as they were known in May 1986. Any changes resulting from unforeseen developments will be communicated to the Executive Committee as addenda to this report."
8. Requirements for Special Programmes in 1987 are projected at $23,281,000. This is $118,026,400, or 83.5 per cent, less than the revised estimate for 1986 of $141,307,400 (see table A above). In this connection, the Advisory Committee notes that based on past experience, actual requirements under this heading may prove substantially higher than initially projected, with consequent effects on total projected resources for operational activities and on the percentage of programme support for 1987 shown in paragraph 10 below.
The estimate for 1987 of $17,743,000 under the United Nations regular budget represents the balance of the total 1986-1987 appropriation for UNHCR approved by the General Assembly at its fortieth session (see table A above).
