Some older and out-of-date tables. But a few contain data that is not covered elsewhere.
Note: All data in these tables have been carefully collected from United Nations sources and checked for consistency. Users should be aware, however, that the UN does not always publish reliable data, that the UN sometimes releases data very late, that different offices sometimes release different versions of the same data (with large variations), and that different agencies release data with different parameters (assessments vs. expenditures, for instance) and different time periods. Not all data tables on the site are fully consistent with one another for this reason. But it seems fair to say that these tables, imperfect as they are, are the best available anywhere on this subject.
