Strategic Programmes Build upon Each Other

The ICT Strategy is carried out through solution delivery in three cross-cutting strategic programmes that build one upon the other: The Infrastructure Management Programme provides the technological foundation for the essential ICT services employed globally by the Secretariat; the Resource Management Programme builds upon the infrastructure management programme to create, process and store information on the Organization’s resources and enable their effective and efficient management; and the Knowledge Management Programme depends upon the aforementioned two programmes to provide an enabling environment for capturing, managing and sharing the Organization’s information assets.

The Knowledge Management Programmes goals, objectives and major initatives The goal of the Knowledge Management Programme is to provide an effective collaborative environment in which United Nations personnel and their stakeholders capture, share and disseminate the substantive knowledge relevant to their expertise. The impact that the United Nations is able to make on the world is critically dependent upon the quality of the information it collects, collates and publishes, as well as the knowledge of its staff; these variables are further dependant on new working methods that are required to support the development of innovative products and services.

The Resource Management Programmes goals, objectives and major initiatives The Resource Management Programme aids management reform by providing effective tools for managing human, financial and physical resources, thereby improving performance, accountability and transparency throughout the Organization. The programme provides tools that can be used Secretariat-wide, including applications for the specific, critical, time-sensitive needs that characterize UN operations throughout the world. These tools provide crucial support for decision-making of all kinds, by linking programmes and operations with resource data.

The Infrastructure Management Programmes goals, objectives and major initiatives

The Infrastructure Management Programme consists of programmes and initiatives to strengthen the Secretariat’s global ICT infrastructure, to ensure it supports UN programmes and operations effectively, and to consolidate and standardize its components so they can be managed reliably and efficiently. A consistent, manageable, global infrastructure can ensure the continued operation of the global Secretariat during disasters or other organizational interruptions, can assist in the protection of resources, including information assets and personnel, especially in regard to the ICT aspects of business continuity and disaster recovery and can eventually lead to the ability to harmonize activities with other United Nations organizations and external partners.
