Streamline Your Mandate Citation Review
The Mandate Housekeeping Platform is being tested as a pilot tool to support UN Secretariat entities review and update mandate citations for the 2027 Proposed Programme Budget (PPB) – Programme Plan.
Platform Features

Mandates at a Glance
View all mandates for your entity in the familiar PPB structure. Sort by symbol, title, body, year, or how many other entities share the citation.
Record Your Housekeeping Actions
Record whether each mandate is retained, updated or removed and indicate a reason for your decision for review and validation.
Search the UN's Official Document System (ODS)
Add or update mandate citations using validated data from the UN Digital Library and ODS. Search by symbol or title to add a record and its metadata including title, year, issuing body and a PDF link.
Built-In Validation Process
PPBD will help support a harmonization of approaches to mandate citations across all entities and validate that lists of legislative mandates are accurate and up-to-date. Validation status is visible to all, ensuring transparency in the review cycle.
Mandate Coordination
Add comments on a mandate to flag issues or support discussion and coordination among entities citing the same mandate.
