For more than three years, a sophisticated computerized management
system intended to be a cornerstone of United Nations reform has been
one of Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s most embarrassing train wrecks,
described as a “failure of management” on Ban’s part. Now, the world
organization’s attempts to salvage the system -- known in-house as
Umoja, a Swahili term for unity – have turned into an even bigger
scandal.
Even after an admission that it was three years behind its initial scheduled completion as of a year ago, Umoja has been a victim of U.N. mismanagement,
misjudgment and almost surreal levels of ineffective implementation,
according to internal U.N. documents. Meantime, U.N. member states,
including the U.S. – the organization’s biggest financial contributor--
fling additional tens of millions of dollars at the dysfunctional ERP
project to turn it around.
