Why is the CMP now being implemented in an accelerated one-phase approach (Accelerated Strategy IV) instead of in phases, as previously put forth to the GA?
• The Accelerated Strategy IV approved by General Assembly resolution 62/87 of 10 December 2007 endorsed reducing the period for the renovation of the complex from seven years to five, while retaining the original budget at $1.876 billion. • Instead of renovating the Secretariat building in four phases ten floors at time, we will now renovate the entire building in one phase. The Conference Building will be refurbished in one phase instead of two, and the General Assembly Building will also be renovated in one phase. The new strategy that was proposed by the Secretary-General provides many advantages to the United Nations, including reducing the risk of construction complications and delays associated with undertaking the renovation in a partially occupied Secretariat building. The two year time saving will also reduce the time that the normal functions of the United Nations would be disrupted.
