The importance of timing or sequencing of industrial policies and strategies was also highlighted by several participants.

The strategy document will focus on police, rule of law, disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, security sector reform and mine action activities and will seek to assist field operations to establish priorities for implementing complex mandates and sequencing their activities in these critical areas; and assist with the rule of law and security-related components of field operations to better allocate their resources and define their capability and resource gaps.

In some cases, specialized and industry-specific capabilities are enabling the use of ICTs to support gene sequencing, tissue sampling, and a growing array of techniques in materials sciences and chemistry.

Such instances include unscheduled open debates with selective notification, reluctance in convening open debates on some issues of high significance, repeatedly restricting participation in some of the open debates and discriminating between members and non-members of the Council particularly with regard to sequencing and time limits of statements during the open debates, failure to submit special reports to the General Assembly as required under Article 24 of the Charter, submission of annual reports still lacking sufficient information and analytical content, and lack of minimal parameters for the elaboration of the monthly assessment by the Security Council Presidencies.

This necessary, but difficult task involved the careful review and prioritization of objectives to determine those that should be delivered first, and the sequencing of needs to be addressed as funds become available.

In this regard, the sequencing and timing of different initiatives undertaken in the framework of transitional justice can help establish the right balance between all elements of transitional justice, as long as no amnesty is granted for the most serious crimes.

The trade policy choices of countries, including determining a reasonable level of protection, depended on the level of development of the country, the size of the market, sequencing and timing, as well as complementary policies.

It addresses sequencing problems (neglecting or postponing women’s participation until late in mediation, elections and planning processes), expertise problems (lack of sector-specific gender experts or failure to deploy effectively) and financing problems.

To that end, the CEB secretariat, which supports the High-level Committee on Management and the High-level Committee on Programmes, and the Development Operations Coordination Office, which supports the United Nations Development Group, will work jointly to facilitate the sequencing of issues among the pillars, the sharing of information and the identification and removal of obstacles to maximum collaboration.

Simultaneous implementation provides more time for preparatory activities to be completed, allows improved sequencing of preparatory activities, promotes the more efficient use of the allocated resources, and eliminates the complexity of financial reporting compliant with United Nations system accounting standards (UNSAS), using a system designed for IPSAS in 2011.

To foster the study and breeding of soybeans in China, Prof Lam's team are leading a joint soybean genomic project along with researchers from Shenzhen to apply advanced DNA-sequencing technology to reveal wild soybean genomes' biodiversity and unlock the essential genomic data contained in soybeans.
