This is the third and final Draft Programme and Budget for 2012-2013 (Draft 36 C/5) that will be presented to the General Conference at its 36th session in the Autumn of 2011.
The biennial Programme and Budget defines for each Major Programme and other Programme Sectors and Central Services, the objectives, strategies, expected results and financial allocations, broken down by Main Line of Action (MLA). The expected results are defined for each MLA, complemented, as necessary, by performance indicators and benchmarks. The C/5 document also contains provisions for a certain number of intersectoral platforms.
The Draft 36C/5 document translates the programmatic objectives, policy directions and focus provided by the Medium-Term Strategy for 2008-2013 (document 34 C/4) into concrete thematic and policy-style approaches for the five Programme Sectors of UNESCO (Education, Natural Sciences, Social and Human Sciences, Culture, Communication and Information).
