2016 Annual Statistical Report on United Nations Procurement Published

2016 ASRThe Annual Statistical Report on Procurement by United Nations organizations (ASR) is a yearly publication that has been produced since 1984.

The report provides an overview of the procurement of the United Nations system in support of its operations and provides a range of information about the categories of goods and services procured by the United Nations system, as well as the countries from which these goods and services were procured.

The 2016 report compiles information from 39 缅北禁地entities in total, which is an increase from 36 entities that provided data for the 2015 report.

The data is organized in procurement of goods and services based on the country supplier or country contractor. The categorization of countries and territories is based on the one used by the Statistics Division, Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations.
