2.3: Accountability Community
Encourage a Broader Global “UN Accountability Community”. Other Information:
The UN is a public enterprise whose agencies collectively spend more than $36 billion annually.[i] Yet there is little systematic
coverage of UN management workings by independent media, and too little sustained or integrated analysis of UN programs, policies
and budgets by NGOs. Although there is a vibrant NGO sector at the UN, its participation is almost always around policy issues
(such as human rights, development, or peacekeeping) and rarely around management practices such as budgeting or procurement.
The network of independent entities analyzing UN practices should be wider, deeper, and more vigorous, an international network
that examines and elevates UN management issues in the public discourse.
