The Executive Board,

Having reviewed the medium-term plan for the period 1992-1995 (E/ICEF/1992/3),

Recalling that the programme objectives and strategies elaborated in the medium-term plan basically reaffirm policy decisions taken by the Executive Board in recent years, notably decision 1990/2 (E/ICEF/1990/13) on development goals and strategies for children, priorities for UNICEF action in the 1990s (E/ICEF/1990/L.5) and decision 1991/10 (E/ICEF/1991/15) on the role of UNICEF in the follow-up to the World Summit for Children,

1. Reaffirms the priority of the country programming process in all UNICEF field activities and the continued need for strengthening decentralization of UNICEF activities;

2. Also reconfirms that the situation analysis should be broad and holistic and as such form the basis for UNICEF advocacy on behalf of children as well as for the identification, by the Government concerned, of the priority needs. The programme cooperation should further take into account relevant Executive Board decisions, UNICEF comparative advantage and past experiences, as well as the mandates and strengths of other agencies and organizations involved;

3. Endorses the programme objectives as contained in the medium-term plan, taking into account the comments and suggestions made by Board members during the discussion of the plan;

4. Approves, as a set of indicative targets, the distribution of resources by major programme sectors as indicated in paragraph 271 and table 4 of the medium-term plan, bearing in mind that the exact figures are not predetermined globally but are arrived at through the country programming process, and as such may not meet fully the targets indicated;

5. Invites the donor community to take into account these indicative sectoral funding targets so that their contributions, especially to supplementary funds, will assist in enabling UNICEF to achieve these targets.
