Budget Restraints
Along with other Peacekeep-ing missions MINURSO has had it budget reduced for the coming financial year. In order to meet the shortfall the mission will no longer seek a third helicopter and reduce the replacement pro-gram for other equipment such as Communications and IT. You may also notice that there will be delays in the recruitment of staff in order to meet the larger vacancy rate the mission is required to maintain.
Team Site Visits MINURSO Section Chiefs visited both SMARA and TIFARITI Team Site during June. The visit was an oppor-tunity for the Section Chiefs to see firsthand the Team Sites operation and be briefed by the Team Site Commanders on their oper-ation and for local Mission Support issues to be high-lighted. During the visit the Mission Support Section Chiefs held one of their regular meetings. This visit was part of the CMS program to ensure mission personnel needs are addressed at the spot and not from the Head-quarters only.
