PROGRAMME BUDGET 2004-2005: PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT The performance assessment ofthe Programme Budget 2004-2005 is part of WHO's results-based management and accountability framework. The Programme Budget was
operationalized on the basis of a philosophy of "doing the right things, in the right places, in the right way" under the overarching principle of working with countries and building national capacity. The biennium 2004-2005 was characterized by increased demands placed on the Organization to work in ways that maximize its impact with better cohesion between country teams, regional offices and headquarters departments. This required WHO to be more effective and efficient, more accountable, more transparent and more receptive to a changing world. For the Secretariat, the biennium 2004-2005 was characterized by reforms to enhance its efficiency and effectiveness.
