Proposed Budget Levels for UN Peacekeeping- 2006 - 2008

UN Pulse published a note by the Secretary-General, showing approved resources for peacekeeping operations for the period from 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007 and proposed budgetary levels for the period from 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008.

Peacekeeping ain't for the faint of heart: 2006- 2007 comes in at $5 406 019 800 US, and 2007 - 2008 at $5 348 059 500 US- barring any new deployments, of course.

In terms of DPKO 'humanitarian projects', the same budget includes $7.34 million US for quick-impact projects.
