RESOLUTION
CD4.R7
PROGRAM AND BUDGET POLICY OF THE ORGANIZATION
THE 4th DIRECTING COUNCIL,
Considering that the Pan American Sanitary Bureau finds it difficult to carry forward working
programs based on budgets adopted shortly before the beginning of the fiscal year;
Considering that the present schedule for the study and approval of the budgets of the Organization
does not allow the Member Governments sufficient time to include their assessed contribution to
the Organization in their national budgets for the year in question, thus delaying payments; and
[Having heard] the comments of the Director presented on this problem in Document CD4/PP/3,
RESOLVES
1. To take note of the interest shown by the Director in his search for an adequate budget policy for
2. To suggest to the XIII Pan American Sanitary Conference that it instruct the Directing Council to
study the possibility of establishing the program and adopting the budget of the Organization for the
second year following the year of its meeting.
