Summary of work
Background (A/67/100/Add.1)
At its fifty-eighth session, in 2003, the General Assembly requested the Secretary-General to prepare, on a trial basis, for submission to the Assembly at its fifty-ninth session, a strategic framework to replace the four-year medium-term plan (resolution 58/269).
At its sixty-fifth session, the General Assembly endorsed the conclusions and recommendations of the Committee for Programme and Coordination on the proposed strategic framework for the period 2012-2013 contained in chapter II, section A of its report on the work of its fiftieth session (A/65/16); and requested the Secretary-General to prepare the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2012-2013 on the basis of the approved priorities and the strategic framework as adopted in the resolution (resolution 65/244).
At its sixty-sixth session, the General Assembly considered the report of the Committee for Programme and Coordination on the work of its fifty-first session (resolution 66/8).
