United Nations ? A high-level panel called for streamlining U.N. programs to fight poverty, provide humanitarian aid and protect the environment, saying competition among agencies often duplicates efforts and fails to deliver results, a final draft of its report says.

The draft, obtained Monday by The Associated Press, said that while the U.N. “is an indispensable force,” it has outgrown its post-World War II structure and “is not as effective as it could be.”

Secretary-General Kofi Annan established the 13-member panel in response to a call by world leaders at their September 2005 summit for coordinated U.N. operations to meet development goals.
