Information on 2024 QCPR

In 2024, the General Assembly will conduct the Quadrennial Comprehensive Policy Review of UN system operational activities (QCPR), which will culminate in the adoption of a new QCPR resolution.

Consultations leading up to the adoption of the resolution will be in person. Prior to the consultations, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) in collaboration with The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) conducted four training sessions to provide an introduction to the critical aspects of the QCPR of operational activities for development of the United Nations system, including the repositioned UN development system.

The main input to the QCPR is the Secretary-General’s comprehensive analysis of the implementation progress report of the QCPR, which was discussed at the ECOSOC Operational Activities segment held on 14-16 May 2024.

The 2024 QCPR will guide the United Nations development system over the next four years (2024-2028).        
The implementation of the 2024 QCPR resolution will continue to be tracked through the Secretary-General’s annual report on the QCPR as well as the QCPR Monitoring Framework.
