JOINT EXECUTIVE BOARD ACTIVITIES

The overarching principles for the procedures and working methods of the governing bodies is outlined in a series of GA and ECOSOC resolutions, most prominently in GA resolution 50/227 – Further measures for the restructuring and revitalization of the United Nations in the economic, social and related fields.

The origin of joint activities of the Executive Boards of the UN funds and programmes lies with GA resolution 52/12 – Renewing the United Nations: a programme for reform, which requested ECOSOC, in the context of the next Triennial Policy Review, to consider arrangements for closer integration of the governance oversight of WFP, UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEF, bearing in mind the respective mandates of the Executive Boards of the funds and programmes.

This section focuses on Joint Board information such as Joint Meetings of the Executive Boards and Joint Executive Board field visits and will be regularly updated as Joint Board business develops.
