Summary of Resolutions
The Economic and Social Council:
- Encourages Member States to continue to strengthen their capacities to better utilize the various aid modalities and to disseminate the understanding and implementation of capacity-building as a judicious combination of institution-building and human resource development, whereby people, organizations, States and society as a whole develop and maintain their ability to manage their public affairs successfully through, among other means, fostering public participation in governance and development processes, harnessing the potential of information and communications technology to promote people-centred development, effectively combining decentralization and centralization policies, and forging regional and national partnerships with institutions of public administration to provide needed training;
- Reiterates that Member States should monitor more closely the progress made towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and prepare an inventory of good administrative policies implemented to support the Goals, including the necessary capacities, institutional development aspects and strategic visions concerning a modern civil service; and that the United Nations system, particularly the Department of Economic and Social Affairs and other concerned United Nations bodies, support such efforts; that in capacity-building for post-conflict recovery and reconstruction, continuity of administration and public services, coherence of the public sector and the inclusion of different groups working together in multiple sectors are important prerequisites; and that in capacity-building for post-disaster and crisis situations, an international research and evaluation process should be established to better distil and share the lessons learned;
- Requests the Secretariat to enhance its support for capacity-building, including in the public sector, ensuring that available resources are adequate and existing resource levels are maintained.
