Value for money - UNAIDS budget compared to total funding for AIDS (in millions of US$) Total international funding for the response to HIV and AIDS UBW
Income and expenditures • A fully funded budget in 2008-09 and a 99 per cent financial implementation rate against the UBW compared to 92 per cent in 2006-07. • An increase in expenditures of US$ 85 million and a 50 per cent reduction in the surplus for 2008-2009 compared to 2006-07 • Identification of ways to operate with a smaller working capital and fund balance which is no longer growing and has stabilized.
Financial reporting • New accounting standards (IPSAS) enable more comprehensive financial reporting than in the past. • UNAIDS accounts have been separated from WHO accounts and UNAIDS financial statements are prepared independently. • An unqualified audit reflects that all financial statements are presented fairly and transactions carried out according to financial regulations.
Ensuring efficient operations • UNAIDS needs working capital to keep activities going while donor contributions come in. • A proposal has been developed to set the level of the working capital for future biennia covering: • UNAIDS Secretariat staff and running costs for six months • Cosponsor activities and staff costs for twelve months • Maintaining the working capital at appr. 35 per cent of UNAIDS biennial budget is proposed.
Management of the fund balance • On five occasions in the past a proposal has been submitted to the PCB to draw down and utilize part of the fund balance for specific purposes. • A proposal to use part of the fund balance will be presented for the approval of the PCB next time the PCB considers UNAIDS financial reports. • How much the fund balance can be reduced will depend on how successful UNAIDS has been in mobilizing resources for 2010 and 2011.
Sustainability of financing • US$ 180 million has been pledged against the 2010-11 Unified Budget and Workplan, but only half of this has actually been received so far. • Donors who have made pledges are requested to pay outstanding amounts and others are requested to confirm and pay their contributions for 2010. • Strong support from donors and partners will keep UNAIDS financial position healthy and enable the full implementation of the 2010-11 UBW.
