Key Criteria Considered by the General Secretariat in Formulating the 2012 Budget Proposal
• Decision of the GA to maintain the Regular Fund (RF) budget ceiling at $85.3M.
• Impact of budgetary reductions of $4.8 million in 2011 on the activities of the Organization
• Prioritization exercise by the Member States.
• Progress reports of the Working Group on streamlining of OAS activities
• Costing of resolutions approved at the XLI Regular Session of the General Assembly in San Salvador

Secretary General’s 2012 RF Budget ProposalAssumptions
• 2011-2012 average inflation estimated at 2.0%.
• Budget for Personnel cost increases for 2012 estimated at $1.9 M:
Impact of 2011 increases on the 2011 budget: $0.7 M2012 statutory remuneration adjustments: 0.7 MMandatory step increases: 0.4 MHealth insurance premiums: 0.1 M
$1.9 M• The Organization’s cost of staff and retirees’ health insurance premiums is
budgeted to increase by 2.0% in 2012.
• Operational costs (electricity, heating, supplies, maintenance and custodial services) are budgeted at the 2011 levels in the proposed non-personnel budget, even though they are expected to experience some inflationary increases.
• RF personnel costs remain below the 64.38% threshold established by resolution AG/RES 1 (XL – E/10).
10
Position reductions of $1.9 Million
Number of positions financed by the Regular Fund is reduced in 2012 by a net of eighteen to absorb $1.9 million in anticipated statutory increases
• To achieve these reductions, the following situations were considered:
– Positions vacated when incumbent reaches retirement age– Positions vacated through voluntary separation, expiration of contract,
resignation, or internal transfer– Elimination of frozen positions without funding– Terminations due to area re-structuring – Transfers to Specific Funds

Per the Secretary General’s directive, every effort has been made to maintain sufficient funding and personnel support for the key activities and programs of the OAS. Nevertheless, there are limits to what can be achieved with reduced resources. A number of anticipated results may take longer to achieve and some services and activities will have to be scaled back or reduced.
The availability of Specific Funds will continue to be a central element of the GS/OAS capacity to respond to key objectives of the Organization.
Additional financing avenues will need to be explored to resolve the growing gap between infrastructure needs and the availability of resources.
CAAP members will have additional opportunities to consider the impact of the proposed budget levels on specific areas and programs of the General Secretariat in their chapter-by-chapter analysis of the SG’s 2012 Budget Proposal, including feedback from area Secretaries and Directors.
The 2012 RF budget ceiling is set at $85.3 M. Hence, all proposals for upward budgetary adjustment must be accompanied by a proposal for an equivalent reduction elsewhere in the proposed budget.
In Conclusion
