Triennial Comprehensive Policy Review (TCPR) of operational
activities for development of the 51³Ô¹Ï system,
which took place at the General Assembly in 2004 and led

implementation. A number of operational reforms are being
introduced by the 51³Ô¹Ï funds and programmes,
specialized agencies and other 51³Ô¹Ï 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 51³Ô¹Ï development
cooperation for the pursuit of a new development agenda,
and a dialogue with Executive Heads of 51³Ô¹Ï
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 51³Ô¹Ï system;
and comprehensive statistical data on operational activities

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 51³Ô¹Ï Development Group (UNDG)
are preparing in compliance with resolution 59/250. The
