17. 2019/20 年度文职人员拟议资源为 84 025 100 美元，与 2018/19 年度批款相比增加 8 669 000 美元，即 11.5%。秘书长指出，增加的主要原因是以下方面导致国际工作人员项下所需资源增加：(a) 拟净增设 20 个员额；(b) 适用较低的空缺率(2019/20 年度拟议空缺率为 8%，2018/19 年度适用的空缺率为 11.6%)；(c) 适用最新的有效薪金表和实际平均薪级。此外，拟为与“团结”项目扩展部分二期支持活动和交叉举措有关的一般临时人员费用编列联索支助办应承担的费用 514 600美元(A/73/762，第 166 和 167 段)。
17. The proposed resources for civilian personnel for 2019/20 amount to $84,025,100, reflecting an increase of $8,669,000, or 11.5 per cent, compared with the appropriation for 2018/19. The Secretary-General indicates that the increase is attributable mainly to higher requirements under international staff owing to (a) the proposal to establish a net 20 additional posts; (b) the application of a lower vacancy rate (8 per cent proposed for 2019/20, compared with 11.6 per cent applied for 2018/19); and (c) the application of the latest effective salary scales and actual average step levels. In addition, an amount of $514,600 is proposed to cover the UNSOS share of general temporary assistance related to the support activities for Umoja Extension 2 and cross-cutting initiatives (A/73/762, paras. 166 and 167).
