The report also included information on the impact of the information and communication technology networks on the operations of the United Nations.

OIOS noted that the technology available to peacekeeping operations for information management is outdated and lags far behind the technology now being used by many of the national armies of troop contributing countries.

An Information Technology Auditor post (P 4) is therefore required to provide audit coverage of the information technology requirements in peacekeeping operations and in the Department and to provide methodological and direct audit support to resident auditors.

The Department of Peacekeeping Operations proposes resources for the maintenance and enhancement of the Peacekeeping Best Practices Section's website and the development of the new information technology projects, namely, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations portal and ECM.

The Committee requests that the Secretary General review all available options for improving information and communication technology governance, including the possibility of a single structure to lead and manage information and communication technology activities and operations for the Secretariat.

(8) Enhancement of assistance to developing countries in terms of transfer of technology for scientific research, handling of data and responsible fishing operations.

This framework has been presented along six programmatic lines, namely, maintenance of assets and facilities, supply and warehousing, communications and information technology, training, air operations and administration.

The Board previously recommended that the Department of Peacekeeping Operations review the policy relating to field information technology access rights.

The Information Management Systems Service is responsible for all information and communication technology (ICT) related to the Fund, including information systems, computer operations and database administration.

Both e mail and network operations are client driven and are building blocks of the information and communications technology strategy, providing infrastructure for knowledge sharing and e management.

The areas of innovation are also varied, including human resources development and management, public service delivery, information and communication technology (ICT) applications in government operations, decentralization, etc.

Previously, information and communications technology service delivery and operations were not explicitly assessed for threat and risk exposure, leaving them open to potential weaknesses that could result in the damage or loss of data and downtime in providing critical information and communications technology services.

operations and

The review focused on issues crucial to UNMO operations, such as command and control, selection and training, deployment, rotation and repatriation, use of advanced technology and administrative and logistics support.

We note with satisfaction that the International Science and Technology Centre in Moscow, of which the European Union is a founding member, has started its operations.

The most promising approach might be sanctions against leading personalities, and against transfers of technology and funding, as well as covert operations, to delay Iran s nuclear weapons program.

Three areas required study technology transfer and management technology and sustainable development and new growth areas for new technology.

There is also an Information Technology Specialist on staff who has had extensive training in the area of seized computer recovery operations.

And typically, technology insights come for technology driven products.
