Overview report

The annual report on the overview of the financing of the United Nations peacekeeping operations summarizes the budget performance in peacekeeping operations from the previous financial period and summarizes the request for the next financial period. It is produced pursuant to General Assembly resolution 59/296, which requested the Secretary-General

"to submit an annual overview report on the financing of peacekeeping missions, reporting, inter alia, on trends in the size, composition and funding of the peacekeeping missions, relevant developments in peacekeeping operations, efforts to improve the management and functioning of peacekeeping operations and the management priorities for the coming year"

The General Assembly, through its Fifth Committee, generally considers the overview report in the context of its negotiation on cross-cutting resolutions.
