(n=14) were to be published in 2019, with a five-month workload from January to May. The share of this cycle treated in 2019 is then: 14 assessments*(5/24 months). The same logic applies for the 2019 cycle (assessments span of two years): five assessments * (12/24 months). The synthetic number of assessments on which MOPAN work in a year comes to 5.41 The first approach gives the cost of an individual assessment as follows: (Assessment consultancy/5.41) + ((0.8*[other consultancies, travel and mission expenses, Secretariat cost] / 5.41). The cost is disaggregated in Table 18 below:

2019 is the “peak year” for assessment costs. For the 2015-216 estimate, the available information is less detailed. The full budget for both years was used and divided by the number of assessments in this cycle (12). Actual spending on staff was 20% below planned spending (EUR 307 000 in total, or EUR 25 000 per assessment). Main assumptions for approach 2 (budgeted time) Staff costs: time-cost allocations as per MOPAN budgetary planning on all headings excluding “governance” and analysis-learning (considered related to analytical products). “Direct staff costs” are totally allocated to MOPAN assessments. Indirect staff costs are accounted for 80% of their amount. All the above are divided by 5.41, the synthetic figure of assessments worked on per year.
