Expenditure predicted for the period 1 August to 31 December In the variation column, a negative number indicates over-expenditure from the budgeted amount. The rate of variation overall corresponds roughly to the 25 per cent of contributions still outstanding for the biennium. Under-expenditure is attributable partially to the fact that the FTC programme has benefited throughout the biennium from a programme officer made available from the CAR programme.
