Model UN relies heavily on the idea that this seemingly imaginary entity called the UN Fifth Committee magically funds all resolutions. However, the reality is that the UN is facing a lack of funding from members, meaning they simply can't afford to use what funding they do have for over-the-top initiatives that often make it into resolutions. Delegates in this double delegation committee are therefore tasked with deciding which proposals the UN Budget should fund, and which proposals would be better served by outside groups. 
Representing both nations and non-governmental organizations, delegations will have the opportunity to travel to other General Assembly committees, making this committee unique since we will be not only voting on MSUMUN XXI resolutions as they are passed, but influencing the debate around funding, feasibility, and committee purview as proposals are being written. Therefore, delegates in Rationing Resolutions: The United Nations Fifth Committee can expect to focus much more time on debate than on resolution writing and will be expected to move fluidly between topics instead of conventionally covering them in sequential order.
