The overall objective of the UPWP is to provide for efficient work and financial management of the Planning Work Program. The UPWP is organized according to six major functional categories. Within each category are sub-categories that describe specific work items to be undertaken. This provides for easy review and monitoring of the planning process. The APO places emphasis on timely delivery and quality of products identified in the UPWP.
