Good news about funding UN Cares

FICSA received the following note from UN Cares:

As you may well have heard by now, last week the UN Secretariat has indicated it will contribute $350,000 to UN Cares for the 2010-11 biennium, and that it intends to plan for the same amount for 2012-13, from within the regular United Nations budget.

This is a quick email to celebrate this outcome of the advocacy of many, including all of you.

I send my very genuine thanks for your part in supporting UN Cares and holding out the hope that a solution would be found.

In keeping with previously approved budgets, my first priority for the money, is to fund two of the three unfilled Regional Coordinator posts as soon as we can, and I will make a decision on that shortly, after a final budget review.
