The variance is due to the projected deployment of all national staff approved for the 2004 05 period (compared to their phased deployment during that period) combined with the provision for 70 additional staff based on their deployment in January 2006.

This average monthly cost, however, included deployment travel and pre deployment deployment allowances amortized over a full year as opposed to a four month period only.

The additional forces also provided a useful contribution to the ongoing activities of EUFOR during the deployment period.

The variance is due to the projected deployment of all United Nations Volunteers approved for 2004 05 (compared to their phased deployment during that period) combined with the provision for 10 additional proposed Volunteers based on their deployment in January 2006.

The main factors contributing to the variance are the projected deployment of all approved international staff for 2004 05 (compared to their phased deployment during the current period) as well as a provision for the proposed additional 41 posts, based on their phased deployment.

The main factor contributing to the variance of 43,156,000 under this heading is the increased requirements in respect of the full deployment of 15,814 contingent personnel, compared to their phased deployment during the 2004 05 period.

The higher requirements result from the full deployment of the military, police and civilian personnel over the budget period, compared with a phased deployment in the 2004 05 budget, and to lower anticipated vacancy rates.

While there had been some slippage in the deployment of military and civilian police personnel in the first three months of the current financial period, she was pleased to report that deployment was now back on track.

The increased requirements result from the full deployment over the budget period of 875 police officers in formed units, adjusted by a 2 per cent vacancy factor, compared with a phased deployment of 750 police officers, adjusted by a 30 per cent delayed deployment factor in the 2004 05 budget.

The increased requirements result from the full deployment over the budget period of the authorized military strength of 6,700 contingent personnel, adjusted by a 2 per cent vacancy factor, compared with a phased deployment of a maximum strength of 5,844 troops, adjusted by a 10 per cent delayed deployment factor in the 2004 05 budget.

The unspent balance of 279,800 under this heading is attributable to the delayed deployment of military observers (while the budgeted provisions reflected a 10 per cent delayed deployment factor, the actual vacancy rate for the reporting period averaged 12.4 per cent).

The unutilized balance of 3,233,000 under this heading is attributable to the delayed deployment of civilian police personnel (while budgeted provisions reflected a 10 per cent delayed deployment factor, the actual vacancy rate for the reporting period averaged 33.1 per cent).

Budgetary provisions reflected a 10 per cent delayed deployment factor compared to an actual average vacancy rate for the period of 9.3 per cent.

The variance of 309,100 under this heading is attributable to the deployment of four Government seconded corrections officers in May 2005 owing to difficulties in identifying contributing Governments, while provisions were based on the deployment of eight officers during the entire reporting period.

Deployment of resources

The estimates for the period from 1 July 2005 to 31 October 2005 amount to 26,352,400, inclusive of 18,646,200 for the freight and deployment of contingent owned equipment.

Violence in Darfur has diminished greatly since the period from early 2003 to mid 2004, which was prior to Security Council decisions and the deployment of AMIS.

The increased requirements are attributable to a higher provision for the self sustainment of military contingents and formed police units, owing to their full deployment over the budget period, compared with a phased deployment in the 2004 05 budget, and to lower anticipated vacancy rates.

The increase is mainly due to the projected full deployment with the application of a 3 per cent turnover factor and to the meal portion of MSA for gendarmes funded from this component, compared to the 5 per cent delayed deployment rate applied for the previous period.

(d) Any such transfer shall not have the effect of extending the deployment period of personnel deployed under the mandate of their original mission, unless the Security Council decides otherwise

The estimates reflect the actual strength of 712 military observers at 31 July 2005 and the application of a 5 per cent delayed deployment factor to the computation of mission subsistence allowance costs in respect of the phased deployment of an additional 48 military observers during the 2005 06 period, up to the authorized strength of 760 personnel.

The drawdown of UNAMSIL, adjustments to its size, composition and deployment in the maintenance period from 1 July to 31 December 2005 and in the subsequent liquidation period from 1 January to 30 June 2006 are leading to changes in the structure and location of the Mission.

In view of the reduction in the proposed budget recommended by the Advisory Committee for the period from 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006 as a result of delays in troop deployment and personnel recruitment, the Group would seek confirmation of the status of deployment and recruitment in order to ensure the effective functioning of UNMIS.

The estimates are based on the actual strength of 215 civilian police personnel as at 31 July 2005 and the phased deployment of an additional 176 civilian police officers during the 2005 06 period and reflect the application of a 20 per cent delayed deployment factor to the computation of mission subsistence allowance for the additional police personnel.

Furthermore, deployment of chemical weapons invites escalation.

Due to the delayed deployment of civil and humanitarian affairs personnel who were responsible for the identification, nomination and selection of projects in the regions, no projects could be identified during the performance period.

However, under the revised deployment schedule for military and police personnel, civilian personnel and the air transportation fleet, the estimate for the second period had been reduced to 969.5 million.
