The Financial Resource Requirements document (FRR) outlines the range of activities and funding that will be required to finance the Strategic Plan 2010-2012, to successfully interrupt wild poliovirus transmission globally and prepare for the post-eradication era. Activities have been assigned a priority level  (1, 2 or 3) that will be reviewed quarterly, based on epidemiology and available financing.

Based on the outcomes of the Programme of Work 2009,  the new country-driven Strategic Plan 2010-2012  is currently being finalized, taking into account the results of both scientific and operational research, the findings of an Independent Evaluation of the Major Barriers to Interrupting Poliovirus Transmission and input from a broad range of stakeholders.

Achieving the milestones outlined in the Strategic Plan 2010-2012 will require - in addition to full ownership and engagement of the political leadership at all levels in the remaining polio-infected countries - the continued support of the international development community to rapidly make available the necessary financial resources. 

For core running costs and all  activities, the three-year budget is US$ 2.6  billion. The funding gap against this budget is US$ 1.4 billion.

For core costs and priority 1activities, the budget is US$ 2.1 billion.

If required resources are not made available, activities will be scaled back: priority 3 and 2 activities will be cut first. Alarmingly, as of February, there are insufficient funds in play to support even priority 1 activities in Africa in April. Scaling back, postponing or cancelling these activities will increase the risk of optimizing the low season opportunity that currently exists to stop transmission in as many of the remaining polio-affected areas as possible and to achieve the 2010 milestones of stopping transmission by mid-2010 in all countries with new outbreaks in 2009 and by end-2010 in all countries with re-established transmission.

The FRR will be regularly updated, including in the second quarter of 2010, as the Strategic Plan is finalized.

The overarching milestones in the Strategic Plan are to stop wild poliovirus transmission:

• by mid-2010 in all countries with new outbreaks in 2009;
• by end-2010 in the countries with re-established transmission;
• by mid-2011 in all countries with new outbreaks in 2010;
• by end-2011 in two of the four endemic countries;
• by end-2012 in the remaining two endemic countries.

Process milestones are in place to monitor progress towards each of these expected results.
