 Financing dialogue has led to improved predictability; no significant
improvement in funding flexibility and sustainability
 Proposal for increase in the assessed contributions (AC) for 2018-2019
(DG letter dated 19 July 2016)
 While the overall budget increased fourfold from 1990, no AC increase in
the last decade; AC’s share of financing of the total budget has fallen below
30%
 Continuous decline of % AC’s share of financing the budget is not
sustainable
 AC increase will enable the Organization:
– to use its resources more strategically to fund all priorities
– make longer-term programmatic investment decisions in line with SDGs
– improve the flexibility to respond to health emergencies
Financing of the PB 2018-2019

 Refinements will be made based on RC feedback on the overall
directions and priorities
 Refinements will reflect further considerations on the implications
of the SDGs and the Health Emergencies Programme
 Major offices to confirm or revise resource requirements based on
early human resources planning and vulnerability assessment
 Updated draft will be presented to the Executive Board in January
2017
 Final draft of PB will be presented for approval to WHA in May 2017
 Finalization of detailed plans for human resources and activities in
June 2017 following approval of PB 2018-2019
