    The Galileo Decommissioning Project (‘GDP’) is one of the key initiatives being implemented by the Department of Field Support this year. GDP was officially launched in December 2016as part of Phase 1 of Umoja Extension 2 (UE2), with the aim to assist the UN Peacekeeping and Special Political Missions to transit from their current inventory and fleet management system (Galileo), to the UN’s enterprise resource management system (Umoja). Once the project is deployed at the beginning of September 2017, the Missions will use Umoja to manage all logistic and service delivery operations.
