The UNDG is driving the UN development system to become more strategic,

coordinated and aligned with national priorities.

The Development Operations Coordination Office supports the RC System and the UNDG.

The UNDG has agreed to support both the pilots and UNDAF roll-out countries.

The Management and Accountability Framework of the UN Development and

Resident Coordinator System will make the UN a more

effective force for development.

The Management and Accountability Framework outlines a concept of

governance and accountability for the UN development system and the RC System,

including a “functional firewall”.

At the country level, the agreed long-term vision is that the Resident Coordinator will

have an equal relationship with, and responsibility to, all UNCT member agencies.

At the regional level, the Regional Directors' Teams will expand over time to

be representative of organizations working at the country level.

At the global level, the 13-member UNDG Advisory Group now regularly meets at

both Principals and ASG/ADG levels, assisting the UNDG Chair.
