'''The Regulations and Rules Governing Programme Planning, the Programme Aspects of the Budget, the Monitoring of Implementation and the Methods of Evaluation''' are generally referred to by the acronym "'''PPBME'''" because the full title is such a mouthful. The current version of the PPBME is [https://undocs.org/st/sgb/2016/6 '''ST/SGB/2016/6'''] (issued 2 May 2016).

As with all regulations, the PPBME regulations can only be issued or amended by decision of the General Assembly. With regards to the PPBME rules, under General Assembly resolution [https://undocs.org/a/res/53/207 53/207] of 18 December 1998, the Secretary-General is instructed to "bring them to the attention of the General Assembly through the Committee before promulgation" <ref>General Assembly resolution [https://undocs.org/a/res/53/207 53/207], section III paragraph 2</ref>

== Suspended regulations and rules ==

The existing version of the PPBME reflects the pre-reform biennial [[programme budget]] process. As General Assembly [https://undocs.org/A/RES/72/266 resolution 72/266A] approved the shift to an annual budget on a trial basis as part of [[management reform]], a number of PPBME provisions were superseded and were not applied. These are detailed in section A (Methodology and Format) of the 2021 proposed programme budget.
