Development Account projects
The Development Account is a capacity development programme of the United Nations Secretariat aiming at enhancing capacities of developing countries in the priority areas of the United Nations Development Agenda. The Development Account is funded from the Secretariat's regular budget and implemented by 10 entities of the UN Secretariat (DESA, UNCTAD, UNEP, UN-Habitat, UNODC, ECA, ECE, ECLAC, ESCAP and ESCWA). The Account was originally established in 1997.
Currently, the Statistics Division is coordinating (among others) the 10th Tranche Development Account Programme on Statistics and Data. This project is carried out jointly with all 10 implementing agencies, unlike previous projects that were carried out separately by those organizations.
The Statistics Division has been engaged in 20 projects since the inception of the Development Account programme. These projects are shown below:
