Subject
Summary:

The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has acted on eight of 12 recommendations GAO made in a June 1992 report on UNESCO management, particularly in the areas of evaluation, human resource management, and budget presentation. Beyond GAO's recommendations, UNESCO has (1) made evaluation an element of each professional's performance rating, (2) separated staff because their positions were no longer needed, and (3) improved its budget presentation. GAO has some concerns about UNESCO's oversight of the Participation Program, which funds projects and grants on a cost-sharing basis with individual member states. Overall, UNESCO's member states, Director General, managers, and employee associations have shown a commitment to management reform. This commitment will need to continue for the long term if UNESCO is to fully implement GAO's recommendations and solidify its recent management improvements.
