Where does the UN80 initiative stand now - and what comes next?
Q: So what has changed? What's next? And what does it mean for the future of the UN?
Ryder explains that UN80 has gained momentum with strong engagement from member states, adoption of a tighter program budget, new efficiency measures, a mandate-management resolution, and a forward pathway that aims to radically improve daily UN operations within twelve months, while balancing intergovernmental decisions with authoritatively acting steps the Secretary-General can take unilaterally.
HIV/AIDS: ‘The worst epidemic the world has ever seen’
Q: What outcome are you hoping for from the upcoming high-level meeting?
