At its

At its
fifty-ninth session, the General Assembly, inter alia,
requested the Secretary-General, in consultation with Member
States, to explore various funding options for increasing
financing for operational activities for development of the
United Nations system and to examine ways to enhance the
predictability, long-term stability, reliability and adequacy
of funding for the operational activities for development,
including through the identification of possible new funding
sources, while preserving the advantages of the current
funding modalities, and to submit a report to the Assembly
through the Economic and Social Council at its substantive

Comprehensive report of the
Secretary-General on the state of South-South cooperation
among developing countries (Mandate: GA res.
58/220, para. 12)
Summary:
At its
thirty-third session in 1978, the General Assembly entrusted
the overall intergovernmental review of technical cooperation
among developing countries within the United Nations system to
a high-level meeting of representatives of all States
participating in the United Nations Development Programme, to
be convened by the Administrator of UNDP in accordance with
the provisions of the Buenos Aires Plan of Action for
Promoting and Implementing Technical Cooperation among
Developing Countries (resolution 33/134).
The General
Assembly considered the question at its fiftieth,
fifty-second, fifty-fourth, fifty-sixth and fifty-seventh
sessions (resolutions 50/119, 52/205, 54/226, 56/202 and
57/263).
At its
fiftieth session, the General Assembly requested the
Secretary-General to present to the Assembly, on a biennial
basis, a report entitled “State of South-South cooperation”
containing a comprehensive overview and analysis of
South-South economic and technical cooperation worldwide and
international support in that regard, including quantitative
data and indicators on all aspects of South-South cooperation
as well as recommendations for strengthening such cooperation,
keeping in view the importance of the proposal to convene a
United Nations conference on South-South cooperation
(resolution 50/119).
At its
fifty-eighth session, the General Assembly decided to declare
19 December as the United Nations Day for South-South
Cooperation and requested the Secretary-General to submit at
the sixtieth session a comprehensive report on the state of
South-South cooperation and on the implementation of the
resolution (resolution 58/220).
