UN System Procurement Statistics Report - 2020

The Annual Statistical Report on United Nations Procurement (ASR) provides an overview of the procurement of the United Nations (UN) system in support of its operations, projects and programmes. In the 39th session of the General Assembly in 1984, 1 UN procurement activities were presented for the first time, in a report prepared by the InterAgency Procurement Services Office (IAPSO) of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). A need for continued reporting on these types of activities was established later that year by the General Assembly. 2 The report has been compiled on behalf of the UN system by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) since 2008.
