The General Assembly at its resumed fifty seventh session in June 2003 (resolution 57 290 B) requested the Joint Inspection Unit to submit to it at its sixtieth session an evaluation of the implementation of results based budgeting in peacekeeping operations.

The Department was also looking into a benchmarking exercise on sick leave forecasting in peacekeeping missions and was to contact the Department of Management, which is responsible for determining sick leave benchmarks, to discuss this issue.

The Department of Peacekeeping Operations informed the Board that in November 2005 it had amalgamated the Training and Evaluation Service and the Civilian Training Section into a new service the Integrated Training Service.

The Board followed up on its previous recommendation that the Administration evaluate mechanisms that could be implemented to effectively gather information to track competency gaps.

In such cases, missions should explore other options for obtaining the services, such as getting budget approval for new posts, outsourcing functions or hiring staff on fixed term appointments for short periods against general temporary assistance posts.

In its resolution 59 266, the General Assembly requested the Secretary General to recruit any new staff for peace operations on 300 series appointments, which provide less attractive conditions of service than the 100 series fixed term appointment.

The budget allocated for the 2005 06 period amounted to 10.9 million, and the increase was due mainly to the establishment of a resident auditor function at MINUSTAH, ONUB and UNOCI.

In the same report, the Secretary General stated that to ensure adequate internal audit coverage of mission operations, the Office of Internal Oversight Services had recommended that a resident auditor at the P 4 or P 3 level be assigned for each 100 million of annual budgeted expenditure and also, for those missions with annual budgets exceeding 200 million, that an auditing assistant at the G 6 or G 7 level be assigned.

Contracts with locals involved have been terminated, and the Office of Internal Oversight Services had recommended that criminal proceedings be instituted against the military staff involved.

The Department of Peacekeeping Operations informed the Board that it had established a communities of practice network through which personnel could gain access to information, submit queries and exchange documents, feedback and experiences on issues of conduct and discipline.

The Board recommends that the Administration ensure the accuracy and consistency of information reported on cases of fraud or presumptive fraud.

The Office of Internal Oversight Services indicated that the review of the portfolio of evidence supporting results, on a test basis, would be included in the workplan of the resident auditors and would be conducted on a rotational basis.

The Department indicated that the full implementation of this recommendation was dependent on the finalization of the Department wide information management strategy in order to align the information and communication technology strategic plan with the information management strategy.

The Board recommends that the Administration perform an evaluation of the printer requirements across all missions and ensure that new printers are not procured before the ratio has been reduced to a more acceptable level.

The Department of Peacekeeping Operations informed the Board that under normal conditions memorandums of understanding should be signed prior to the deployment of troops.
