Annex V: Evolution of Posts
Evolution of Posts
22. During the preparation of the PWB, divisions modify their complements of posts according to changes in programme requirements. Net changes in the number of posts from the approved 2004-05 budget to the PWB 2006-07 at ZRG are summarised in the table below.

| The proposal includes 7 professional officers outposted from Headquarters; the PWB 2004-05 included 10 outposted officers. PWB 2004-05 post counts are adjusted due to a redefinition of posts in the Emergency Operations and Rehabilitation Division (TCE); only TCE posts funded from Regular Programme resources are now included. | |||
23. The PWB 2004-05 ZRG establishment is proposed to increase by 21 posts. Adjustments were introduced in line with requests received from the governing bodies, such as increased staffing in the Policy Assistance Division (TCA) for policy development in the regions and reinstatement of general service posts in the controls unit of the Finance Division (AFF). Furthermore, as higher income earnings are forecast for the 2006-07 biennium, a limited number of headquarters posts funded from income earnings are proposed for establishment in the PWB 2006-07.
24. When comparing the ZRG post establishment to other PWB 2006-07 scenarios, it is noted that reductions under the zero nominal growth scenario, as previously estimated16, entail abolition of approximately 190 positions. In contrast, increases, proposed under the RG scenario may augment the establishment by up to 100 posts.
