The mandate for the performance period was provided by the Council in its resolutions 1590 (2005), 1627 (2005) and 1663 (2006). 4. The Mission is mandated to help the Security Council achieve an overall objective, namely, national reconciliation, lasting peace and stability, and a prosperous and unified Sudan in which human rights are respected and the protection of all citizens is assured. 5. Within this overall objective, the Mission has, during the performance report period, contributed to a number of accomplishments by delivering related key outputs, shown in the frameworks below. These frameworks are grouped by components: peace process, security, governance, humanitarian assistance, recovery and reintegration, and support. 6. The present report assesses actual performance against the planned results-based frameworks set out in the 2005/06 budget. In particular, the performance report compares the actual indicators of achievement, that is, the extent to which actual progress has been made during the period against the expected accomplishments, with the planned indicators of achievement and compares the actually completed outputs with the planned outputs. Component 1: peace process Expected accomplishment 1.1: a democratic and peaceful Sudan where power and wealth are equitably shared among the various regions and the final status of southern Sudan is resolved peacefully Planned indicators of achievement Actual indicators of achievement 1.1.1 Establishment of the National Constitutional Review Commission by the Government of the Sudan and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM), inclusion in that body of opposition political parties that did not sign the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, adoption by that body of an Interim National Constitution and subsequent establishment of the Government of National Unity Achieved.

In Darfur, 1 level-I clinic originally planned was later split into 4 locations. Places like Rumbek, which was not originally slated for a level-I clinic, later had one because of increased deployment in that area Operation and maintenance of 4 level-II medical facilities in 4 locations 4 Level-II medical facilities were operated and maintained in 4 different locations (Juba, Ed Damazin, Wau and Malakal) Operation and maintenance of 1 level-III facility No Partial operation of the Egyptian level-III hospital in Kadugli.

Monthly expenditure pattern Chart Monthly expenditures 7. Higher expenditures in February and June 2006 were due mainly to the recording, in the UNMIS special account, of obligations for the reimbursement of troop-contributing Governments for troop costs, major equipment and self-sustainment, as well as for the provision of rations for military contingents. In addition, with June being the last month of the financial period, the level of payments increased as reconciliations and adjustments of vendor invoices were completed before the closing of accounts.

IV. Analysis of variances Variance Military observers ($9 352.3) (95.1%) 8. Additional requirements relate mainly to the payment of a higher mission subsistence allowance than included in the budget estimates. The budget estimates were based on a reduced mission subsistence allowance of $50 per day for an average of 406 military observers, with food and accommodation provided by the Mission outside Khartoum. However, owing to delays in the establishment of adequate accommodation facilities, military observers were allowed to arrange their own accommodation. Therefore, in accordance with the entitlement, a full mission subsistence allowance rate of $108 per day and $120 per day as applicable for Khartoum and southern Sudan, respectively, was paid to an average of 447 military observers. 9. In addition, increased requirements resulted from a higher average number of 447 military observers as compared to the budgeted average of 365 (406 with a 10 per cent delayed deployment factor) military observers. Variance Military contingents $29 385.8 13.0% 10. The unutilized balance was due mainly to the delayed deployment of military contingents with an average monthly deployment of 5,187 as compared to the budgeted average monthly deployment of 6,776 military contingents. In addition, savings resulted from the rotation of only 2,466 military contingents as compared to the rotation travel of 8,424 military contingents included in the budget estimates. Variance United Nations police ($7 215.2) (81.3%) 11. Additional requirements relate mainly to the payment of a higher mission subsistence allowance than included in the budget estimates. The budget estimates were based on a reduced mission subsistence allowance of $50 per day for an average of 401 United Nations police, with food and accommodation provided by the Mission outside Khartoum. However, owing to delays in the establishment of adequate United Nations accommodation facilities, United Nations police were allowed to arrange their own accommodation. Therefore, a full mission subsistence allowance rate as applicable for Khartoum and southern Sudan was paid to an average of 343 United Nations police. 12. Additional requirements resulting from the payment of a full rate as described above were partially offset by a lower average number of 343 United Nations police as compared to the budgeted monthly average of 361 (401 with a 10 per cent delayed deployment factor) United Nations police. Variance International staff ($1 887.9) (2.6%) 13. The budget estimates included a reduced mission subsistence allowance of $50 per day for 259 international staff based outside Khartoum, with food and accommodation provided by the Mission. However, owing to delays in the establishment of adequate United Nations accommodation facilities, international staff were allowed to arrange their own accommodation. Therefore, a full mission subsistence allowance rate as applicable for southern Sudan and Darfur was paid to international staff resulting in an overexpenditure. 14. The overexpenditure was largely offset by savings under hazardous duty station allowance owing to delays in the establishment of offices and camps outside Khartoum leading to a lower than budgeted number of international staff deployed outside Khartoum, thereby reducing the eligibility for hazard pay. Variance National staff $1 226.6 9.3% 15. The unspent balance was due mainly to the delays in the recruitment of national staff. The average strength of national staff was 1,004 as compared to the budgeted average of 1,058 (1,411 with a 25 per cent delayed recruitment factor). In addition, savings also resulted from the recruitment of approximately 70 per cent of the national staff at lower grades than the budgeted G-4. 16. Savings under national staff were partly offset by additional requirements under common staff costs resulting from pre-appointment medical examinations. Variance United Nations Volunteers $1 237.7 23.6% 17. The unspent balance was mainly attributable to the delays in the recruitment of United Nations Volunteers because of which the average strength of United Nations Volunteers was only 83 as compared to the budgeted average of 169. Variance General temporary assistance $588.8 (26.7%) 18. Additional requirements were due mainly to the change in concept of operations from the use of commercial contractors for construction work at the new headquarters to in-house management of the projects, which required individual contractors for construction work. In addition, higher requirements resulted from the difficulties experienced in the sourcing of contracts for cleaning services in the regional offices, forcing the Mission to recruit cleaners as individual contractors under general temporary assistance. Variance Consultants $438.1 71.6% 19. The unspent balance was mainly under training consultants due to the delayed deployment of staff resulting in a lower than planned number of training workshops. Variance Official travel ($1 977.1) (45.5%) 20. Additional requirements were due mainly to in-mission travel by military observers and United Nations police on long-range missions not provided in the budget estimates and additional travel for consultations with the African Union and the Government of the Sudan on the Darfur peace process. Variance Facilities and infrastructure $47 048.9 20.5% 21. The unspent balance was mainly under rental of premises and resulted from the inability of the contractor to provide tented accommodation meeting United Nations standards and requirements. In addition, savings also resulted from the low consumption of petrol, oil and lubricants for generators owing to delays in the establishment of hard-wall accommodation. Variance Ground transportation $20 906.3 27.1% 22. The unspent balance was due mainly to the transfer of 235 vehicles from ONUB, UNAMSIL, UNIFIL, UNMEE and UNMIK, and the advance procurement of 12 heavy trucks and 16 fuel tankers during the 2004/05 budget period. Variance Air transportation $55 508.8 28.0% 23. The unutilized balance was under rental and operation due mainly to the delayed deployment of the Mission’s helicopter fleet resulting in fewer than planned air patrols, and the early termination of a commercial contract for two IL-76 aircraft due to contractual non-compliance. The delayed deployment of air assets resulted in lower consumption of jet fuel — a total of 39,853,945 litres at $0.97 per litre was consumed against the budgeted total fuel consumption of 59,047,730 litres at $1.25 per litre. 24. In addition, savings were realized under liability insurance as the situation in the Sudan did not warrant coverage of Additional War Risk Insurance by the contractor. Variance Naval transportation $181.2 91.5% 25. The unutilized balance was due to the non-procurement of three patrol boats for United Nations police as the patrols were carried out by the military contingent. Variance Communications $13 833.6 30.4% 26. The unutilized balance was mainly under acquisition of communications equipment and resulted from the transfer of surplus equipment from ONUB, UNAMSIL, UNMEE, UNMIK and UNMISET. In addition, savings also resulted from the lower self-sustainment requirements owing to the delayed deployment of troops. Variance Information technology $2 062.3 15.4% 27. The unspent balance was mainly under information technology services and resulted from the delayed deployment of contractors with a monthly average of only 10 contractors as opposed to the budgeted 25. Factors contributing to the delayed deployment were the transition time during change of vendors as well as delays in selection and visa processing of candidates. In addition, savings also resulted from the lower actual monthly cost per contractor of $5,500 against the budgeted $8,500. Variance Medical $1 432.5 14.4% 28. Savings were due mainly to the lower self-sustainment requirements resulting from the delayed deployment of troops. The savings were partially offset by the unbudgeted procurement of medical supplies for avian flu and meningitis. Variance Special equipment $1 616.2 47.5% 29. The unutilized balance was due mainly to the lower self-sustainment requirements resulting from the delayed deployment of troops. Variance Other supplies, services and equipment $14 059.3 30.2% 30. The unspent balance was due mainly to the delays in the implementation of Mission disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme, under which disarmament, demobilization and reinsertion of only 650 children associated with armed forces and groups was carried out as opposed to the participation of a budgeted 17,000 children, 5,000 persons related to armed forces in “special groups” and up to 10,000 members of special groups in the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme. Variance Quick-impact projects $428.4 21.4% 31. The unspent balance resulted mainly from the delayed deployment of civil and humanitarian affairs personnel in the field. V. Actions to be taken by the General Assembly 32. The actions to be taken by the General Assembly in connection with the financing of UNMIS are: (a) To decide that Member States shall waive their respective shares in other income for the period ended 30 June 2006 amounting to $26,813,400, and their respective shares in the amount of $10,110,300 from the unencumbered balance of $168,344,400 for the period ended 30 June 2006, to be applied to meeting the current and future after-service health insurance liabilities of the United Nations; (b) To decide on the treatment of the remaining unencumbered balance of $158,234,100 for the period ended 30 June 2006. Resource variance amounts are expressed in thousands of United States dollars. Analysis is provided for variances of at least plus or minus 5 per cent and $100,000. __________________ __________________  sss1 \* MERGEFORMAT A/61/689 sss1 \* MERGEFORMAT A/61/689 FooterJN \* MERGEFORMAT 07-20390 \* MERGEFORMAT 56 \* MERGEFORMAT 57 FooterJN \* MERGEFORMAT 07-20390 United Nations A/61/689 General Assembly Distr.: General 8 January 2007 Original: English jobn \* MERGEFORMAT 07-20390 (E) 290107 Barcode \* MERGEFORMAT *0720390* Word.Document.8 \s
