analysis: The text discusses the budget implications of a draft resolution related to the situation in Afghanistan and the United Nations Good Offices Mission in Afghanistan and Pakistan (UNGOMAP). The resolution involves the provision of administrative and logistical support to the Personal Representative of the Secretary-General and supporting staff in the mission area. The text also mentions the contingency fund for the biennium 1990-1991. Given the focus on international relations, diplomacy, and humanitarian aid, I hypothesize that the most fitting category is related to humanitarian aid and relief.
