The budget provides for the deployment of 166 military observers, 6,834 military contingent personnel, 900 United Nations police officers, 957 international staff, 1,590 national staff, 506 United Nations Volunteers, 81 Government-provided personnel and 500 temporary positions. The total resource requirements for UNMISS for the financial period from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012 have been linked to the Mission’s objective through a number of results-based-budgeting frameworks, organized according to components (peace consolidation and extension of state authority; conflict mitigation and protection of civilians; capacity-building; human rights; and support). The human resources of the Mission in terms of the number of personnel have been attributed to the individual components, with the exception of the Mission’s executive direction and management, which can be attributed to the Mission as a whole. The explanations of staffing resources have been linked, where applicable, to specific outputs planned by the Mission. Financial resources (Thousands of United States dollars.

The mandate of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) was established by the Security Council in its resolution 1996 (2011) for an initial period of one year, with the intention to renew for further periods as may be required. 2. The Mission is mandated to help the Security Council achieve an overall objective, namely, to consolidate peace and security and to help establish the conditions for development in South Sudan with a view to strengthening the capacity of the Government to govern effectively and democratically and establish good relations with its neighbours. 3. Within this overall objective, UNMISS will, during the budget period, contribute to a number of expected accomplishments by delivering related key outputs, shown in the frameworks below. These frameworks are organized according to components (peace consolidation and extension of state authority; conflict mitigation and protection of civilians; capacity-building; human rights; and support), which are derived from the mandate of the Mission. 4. The expected accomplishments would lead to the fulfilment of the Security Council’s objective within the lifetime of the Mission and the indicators of achievement show a measurement of progress towards such accomplishments during the budget period. The human resources of UNMISS, in terms of the number of personnel, have been attributed to the individual components, with the exception of the Mission’s executive direction and management, which can be attributed to the Mission as a whole. 5. The structure of UNMISS is based on the mandate of the Mission and is dictated by a number of factors, including an integrated approach that harnesses the different assets and capacities of all parts of the Mission and the United Nations system for peace consolidation. This includes working in a decentralized manner tailored to local conditions in South Sudan in order to reach vulnerable populations and engage with local communities. 6. Staffing levels proposed are based on an expectation of what is realistically achievable within a three-year time frame. The staffing levels in the first year and the expected incremental increase in the following years are based on the circumstances on the ground, the level of government capacity and logistical realities. Mission staff will be embedded in government structures at the national, state and county levels in mandated areas to help expand state authority and build national capacities. 7. In line with its mandate to deliver at the national, state and local levels, and cognizant of the fact that most challenges are likely to arise at the state and county levels where government capacity is weak, most staff will be deployed at the state and county levels, with key political and advisory functions located at the Mission headquarters in Juba. 8. UNMISS headquarters in Juba will host the senior management team of the Mission, including the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, the Deputy Special Representative (Political), the Deputy Special Representative (Resident Coordinator/Humanitarian Coordinator), the Force Commander and the Police 4 11-57106 A/66/532 Commissioner. All senior managers will pay frequent visits to the state capitals and counties to ensure policy coherence and underline the decentralized approach of UNMISS throughout the country. 9. Field offices will be established in each of the 10 states in South Sudan, namely Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Western Bahr el Ghazal, Lakes, Warrab, Jonglei, Unity, Upper Nile, Western Equatoria, Central Equatoria and Eastern Equatoria. Each of the offices will be led by a state coordinator, who will have a high degree of authority to manage the day-to-day operations and coordinate the different functions of the Mission on the basis of joint workplans agreed by the Mission leadership. There will be clear mechanisms for the requesting and tasking of assets that are available only centrally. Close coordination with the United Nations country team at the state level will be ensured through regular meetings between state coordinators and the expanded county team, supported by the Recovery, Reintegration and Peacebuilding Section, which will serve as the liaison with the United Nations agencies, funds and programmes. 10. The General Assembly, in its resolution 65/257 B, appropriated and assessed an amount of $482,460,550 for the maintenance of UNMIS for the six-month period from 1 July to 31 December 2011. The Assembly further authorized the Secretary- General to draw upon the resources approved for UNMIS in entering into commitments for the period from 1 July to 31 December 2011 for the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) and any further missions established by the Security Council before 31 December 2011 in support of the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. The Assembly also noted the intention of the Security Council, as stated in its resolution 1978 (2011), to establish a successor mission to UNMIS, and authorized the Secretary-General to draw upon the resources approved for UNMIS in entering into commitments for a successor mission for the period from 1 July to 31 December 2011. 11. The Security Council, in its resolutions 1990 (2011) and 1996 (2011), decided to establish UNISFA and UNMISS, respectively. Accordingly, pursuant to authorization granted by the General Assembly in its resolution 65/257 B on the
