A/39/417) in 1984. By resolu- tion 39/220 the General Assembly established the need for recurrent reporting of such information on opera- tional activities and encouraged organizations of the UN system to co-operate with IAPSO in this important exercise. To obtain more complete reporting on operational activities, data on other components of technical coopera- tion, such as project personnel, United Nations Volunteers and fellowships was included as from 1991. Experience has shown that it has proven very difficult for a great number of agencies and UNDP field office to provide data on personnel components in the required format. Several UN agencies encounter difficulties in apportioning cost of the personnel components in view of insufficient links between administrative and financial records. Resulting in less then representative data being available for presentation in the Annual Statistical Report. PREPARATIONS Statistical data on procurement of goods and services and the personnel components for operational activi- ties are requested from 42 UN organizations as well as by UNDP’s network of Country Offices. To facilitate collection and compilation of the large number of data, IAPSO provides pro-forma tables available from the IAPSO website or on diskette, together with instructions for completing the reporting requirements. ASR 2005 The 2005 report compiles information provided by 32 UN organizations and 124 UNDP Country Offices. IAPSO relies entirely on the co-operation of the reporting entities and, in general, the responses have been encouraging and the quality of data has steadily improved from previous years. The information from UNDP Country Offices was provided for projects under National Execution (NEX) and Direct Execution (DEX) modalities. Data collection from UN agencies involves processing of reports on procurement of goods and services received from supply divisions
