The MA synthesized information from the scientific literature and relevant
peer-reviewed datasets and models. It incorporated knowledge held by the
private sector, practitioners, local communities, and indigenous peoples.
The MA did not aim to generate new primary knowledge, but instead sought
to add value to existing information by collating, evaluating, summarizing,
interpreting, and communicating it in a useful form. |

Report
of the Secretary Général on the Work of the Organisation
United Nations, New-york, 2007.
ISSN 0082-8173
This, my first annual report, comes at a time when the Member States and
the peoples of the world are asking the United Nations to do more —
in more spheres of activity, in more locations, in more challenging circumstances
— than at any point in the Organization’s history. While the
surging demand for our services is daunting, we must not shrink from this
challenge. Indeed it should be welcomed. This is a sign not only of the
many pressing needs in the world today, but also of the increasing recognition
that they can best be addressed collectively, through the world’s
only truly universal instrument, the United Nations. |

Report
of the Secretary Général on the Work of the Organisation
United Nations, New-york, 2006.
ISSN 0082-8173
In this, my tenth and last annual report, I have sought to provide an overview
of the Organization’s main achievements and challenges during the
past 12 months in the light of the critical developments in the decade since
I took office at the beginning of 1997. I have also subsumed in a single
report both the work of the Organization as such and the progress made in
implementing the Millennium Declaration, which in previous years has been
the subject of a separate report. |
