While resolutions can be adopted on any aspect of the programme planning, budget, and financing, at any time during the budget cycle, some recurrent patterns can be seen in the documentation.

From 1974-2019, for each biennium, there were usually 3 resolutions with the title "Programme budget for the biennium ..."
The table below lists all the resolutions setting the programme budget, 1946-present.
As the budget cycle changes, beginning with the Proposed Programme Budget for the year 2020, we will update the guide to reflect the new pattern of documentation.
