Yes, i agree we should see what the new Sec Gen can do. I really hope they get rid of the 30 plus development agencies (UNDP, UNODC, WHO, UNICEF etc etc) and merge them into one streamlined “UN Development Agency”- that would result in massive cost saving i.e. 1 HQ instead of 30 separate HQs that they have at present; it would also mean a much more efficient UN at the country level (the UN has offices in 100 plus developing and middle income countries supporting development programmes).
