United Nations reform

The United Nations continued in 1998 to implement the Secretary-General’s programme of reform of the Organization. Activities focused on strengthening the Secretariat’s leadership capacity and reshaping its substantive work programmes, as well as increasing its administrative effectiveness and efficiency in order to create a development dividend by reducing non-programme costs and turning the savings into a development account. The General Assembly continued to consider proposals on those issues and on results-based budgeting and the dividend for development.
