10.1.1 Actual funding versus budget for the
biennium
The GRID-Arendal Board approved a total programme
budget of MNOK 103.2 for the years 2010 and 2011 dis-
tributed among funding sources as shown in Figure 4 be-
low. The aforementioned decrease in external and UNEP
funding posed challenges in implementing the planned
work programme in 2010 and in the first half of 2011. In
response, the 2011 level of activities was adjusted slightly
downwards. It should be noted that Figure 4 is limited to
activities that were either invoiced or recompensed in 2010
and 2011. At the end of 2011, a total of MNOK 11.8 in new
external funding was secured for activities scheduled in
2012. Although some of these projects commenced before
the end of 2011, this funding is reported as 2012 funding.
