In
response to the numerous media inquiries regarding the UN funding cuts to
Sri Lanka, the office of the UN Resident Coordinator in press release
stated that there were no new funding cuts currently planned by the UN in
Sri Lanka. The UN
funding agencies are separately financed through voluntary annual
contributions from Member States. Periodically,
these UN bodies communicate to recipient countries a projection of the
resources to be made available for each country over a multi-year period
based on anticipated contributions from Member States. The actual level of
funding made available may fluctuate depending on the level of
contributions subsequently received from Member States on a year-by-year
basis, the press release stated. If there was a cut in UN funding to Sri Lankan the future, it would be as a result of less money being made available by the Member States for development work globally. However, reports of cuts in the order of 50 per cent to the UN programs in Sri Lanka have no basis in fact, the release said.
