I. INTRODUCTION



1. Upon considering the report of the Executive Secretary on administrative and financial matters at its tenth session, several Parties expressed interest in seeing a more detailed performance report, preferably at the subprogramme level. This report is a response to that request. It covers the period 1 January 1998 to 30 June 1999. Summaries of this information are included in the relevant section of the main document (FCCC/SBI/1999/10).



2. The report contains a common table for each subprogramme in the secretariat. Each table is divided into two main parts:



(a) Financial and personnel resources; and



(b) Main results and outputs.



3. The first part provides a comparison between the approved core budget for the biennium 1998-1999 and the actual expenditures as at 30 June 1999, broken down by objects of expenditure. All budget and expenditure figures are in United States dollars. In addition, posts that have been approved for financing from the core budget are indicated.



4. The second portion provides a brief summary of the main outputs for the biennium. It must be emphasized that these outputs do not represent a comprehensive list of all tasks undertaken. For simplification purposes, outputs have been standardized as documents produced and events organized by each subprogramme, as these are key indicators of secretariat activity in support of the intergovernmental process. The titles of the documents are summarized for brevity.



5. In addition to the secretariat's main output, which has been to organize and support six weeks of intergovernmental meetings, other significant achievements are also indicated. Some of these achievements, especially in the areas of information products and non-Annex I support and with regard to workshops, were possible due to complementary expenditures from supplementary funds.



6. If Parties find this presentation useful, it can be refined for reporting to future sessions of the Conference of the Parties. A list of abbreviations is contained in the work programme document, FCCC/CP/1999/INF.1.
