520			_aFollowing up on two previous analyses of the efforts of Member States to solve the problems of command and control in the United Nations and its organisations, the article focuses on the latest effort, the institution of results-based budgeting. The approach as applied to assessed budgets is critical for the maintenance of support of major contributors to the United Nations and other international organisations. After reviewing the problems inherent in previous efforts at using programme planning to control the organisation and make it accountable, the article focuses on the use of monitoring and evaluation as means of holding organisations accountable for producing results and on the conditions necessary for this to be effective. It argues that refocusing the work of the Committee for Programme and Coordination and office of Internal Oversight Services as its independent secretariat could make the results-based revolution work and Member States finally to control the machine. - Reproduced.
