ECOSOC Operational Activities
Segment

This session takes place after the conclusion of the
Triennial Comprehensive Policy Review (TCPR) of operational
activities for development of the United Nations system,
which took place at the General Assembly in 2004 and led
to the adoption of resolution 59/250. The implementation

and will be presented at this session of ECOSOC through

implementation. A number of operational reforms are being
introduced by the United Nations funds and programmes,
specialized agencies and other United Nations entities,
with the intent of providing a key contribution to the
achievement of the internationally agreed development
goals, including those contained in the Millennium Declaration.
The operational activities segment will be held from
8 to 12 July and will comprise of an interactive dialogue
on operational activities for development of the United
Nations system, a discussion on funding options and modalities
to enhance financing of the United Nations development
cooperation for the pursuit of a new development agenda,
and a dialogue with Executive Heads of United Nations
funds and programmes.

process of implementation of the General Assembly resolution
59/250; funding options and modalities for financing operational
activities for development of the United Nations system;
and comprehensive statistical data on operational activities
for development for 2003 (this report will be presented
in a completely renewed format to provide better information
on multi-year trends).
In addition, the Council will consider a programme of
work on simplification and harmonization of processes
that the members of United Nations Development Group (UNDG)
are preparing in compliance with resolution 59/250. The
implementation of that programme of work is expected to
be completed in 2007.
