The introduction of a fair and transparent policy to guide the gradual reduction of staff has alleviated some initial anxieties and concerns of staff.

As UNAMSIL has been drawing down, international staff turnover has increased, owing to reassignments to new and expanding missions, which has resulted in a reduction of skilled staff in the Mission.

In the period immediately following the announcement in 2002 of the completion strategy, both staff and management decided that any reduction of posts and staff should be undertaken in the first instance through attrition.

The reductions in staff and other recommendations in the paragraphs above would lead to a consequential reduction of 397,300 under section 28E.

The Organization's claim to the International Atomic Energy Agency under the cost sharing agreement for termination indemnity costs for Buildings Management staff separated during the 1995 staff reduction exercise is not resolved.

The net reduction of 91,200 reflects additional requirements of 39,700 relating to the travel of representatives, offset by reduced requirements, based on the pattern of expenditure, for other staff costs ( 75,500), travel of staff ( 42,800) and general operating expenses ( 12,600).

The net reduction of 119 military observers, 6,550 military contingents and 18 national staff posts is a result of the downsizing and subsequent liquidation of the Mission.
