Summary of work

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 ).
At its sixty-ninth session, the General Assembly considered the report of the Committee for Programme and Coordination on its fifty-fourth session and endorsed the conclusions and recommendations of the Committee on the proposed strategic framework for the period 2016-2017, as contained in chapter II, section B, of the report, and decided not to take a decision on the content of part one: plan outline of the proposed strategic framework for the period 2016-2017. The Assembly requested the Secretary-General to prepare the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2016-2017 on the basis of the priorities and the strategic framework as adopted in the resolution (resolution ).
