Summary
At the end of the year, UN agencies have a build-up of unspent funds, shows this new study on financial flows in the UN.
The French consultancy company Investment Development Consultancy (IDC SA) was awarded the contract for carrying out the study after having won an international tender in the summer of 2010.
