18. 2018/19 年度文职人员拟议资源为 167 368 800 美元，比 2017/18 年度批款增加 14 234 300 美元，即 9.3%。拟议增加的主要原因是，国际工作人员项下的所需费用增加(7 575 800 美元，即 5.8%)，这是由于从 2018 年 7 月 1 日起采用订正薪级表，以及拟设立 5 个国际工作人员员额；以及本国工作人员项下的所需费用增加(6 871 500 美元，即 46.1%)，这是由于对本国专业干事和本国一般事务这两个职类采用了订正基薪表，而且西非非洲法郎对美元升值(同上，第 131-132 段)。空缺率19. 文职人员费用估计数表明，国际工作人员的空缺率为 17.4%，本国专业干事为 17.7%，本国一般事务人员为 19.8%，联合国志愿人员为 17.5%，一般临时人员职位为 50.0%，政府提供的人员为 63.2%(同上，第 111 段)。关于员额和职位的建议20. 2018/19 年度期间拟设立共 1 919 个员额和职位，表明拟议人员编制有变动，包括设立 5 个员额(1 个 P-4 和 4 个外勤事务)、改叙 4 个员额以及调动 94 个员额和职位(同上，第 41 段)。21. 拟在组成部分 5(支助)下设立下列 5 个新员额：(a) 一名区域工程师(P-4)；(b) 一名口粮助理(外勤事务人员)；(c) 一名燃料助理(外勤事务人员)；(d) 一名行政干事(外勤事务人员)；和(e) 一名行政助理(外勤事务人员)。关于拟设立的 P-4

The proposed resources for civilian personnel for 2018/19 amount to $167,368,800, representing an increase of $14,234,300, or 9.3 per cent, compared with the appropriation for 2017/18. The proposed increase is attributable mainly to increased requirements under international staff ($7,575,800, or 5.8 per cent), owing to the revised salary scales, effective 1 July 2018, and the proposed establishment of five international posts; and increased requirements under national staff ($6,871,500, or 46.1 per cent), owing to the revised base salary scales for the National Professional Officer and national General Service categories, as well as the appreciation of the West African CFA franc against the United States dollar (ibid., paras. 131–132). Vacancy rates 19. The cost estimates for civilian staff reflect vacancy rates of 17.4 per cent for international staff, 17.7 per cent for National Professional Officers, 19.8 per cent for national General Service staff, 17.5 per cent for United Nations Volunteers, 50.0 per cent for general temporary assistance positions and 63.2 per cent for Government-provided personnel (ibid., para. 111).
