The Secretary-General today shared with Member States a progress report on structural reforms and programme realignments under the third workstream of the UN80 Initiative, outlining proposals for paradigm-shifting changes in the Organization’s structure, in the way its entities collaborate, and in how it operates.

The report sets out proposals to strengthen the UN’s delivery across all three pillars of its work – peace and security, sustainable development and human rights – while also advancing more effective collaboration across the pillars. It launches a New Humanitarian Compact to cut bureaucracy and integrate billions of dollars in global supply chains; establishes a system-wide Human Rights Group to coordinate human rights systematically across all UN activities; and proposes the creation of a UN System Data Commons and a Technology Accelerator Platform to drive the modernization of the system.

The report, Shifting Paradigms: United to Deliver, complements earlier reports on efficiency and on the mandate implementation review. Issued before the General Assembly’s High-Level Week, it is intended to inform Member State deliberations on ways to strengthen the UN system.
