18. Requests the Secretary-General urgently to prepare a long-term “road
map” towards the implementation of the Millennium Declaration within the United
Nations system and to submit it to the General Assembly at its fifty-sixth session;
19. Also requests the Secretary-General to prepare a comprehensive report
every five years, supplemented by an annual report on progress achieved towards
implementing the Millennium Declaration, taking into account the following:
(a) The annual reports should reflect the broad array of specific goals and
commitments enunciated in the Millennium Declaration, though each could explore
in greater depth one or two areas covered in the Declaration;
(b) All reports should focus, in this respect, on the results and benchmarks
achieved, identify gaps in implementation and strategies for reducing them, and
highlight in particular cross-sectoral issues and cross-cutting themes on
development and peace and security;
(c) Reports should draw on the work of the entire United Nations system,
including the Bretton Woods institutions and the World Trade Organization;
(d) The reporting system should be appraised with a view to strengthening its
coherence and integration;
20. Decides to include in the provisional agenda of its fifty-sixth session the
item entitled “Follow-up to the outcome of the Millennium Summit”.
