Duties and Responsibilities
Organizational Setting and Reporting
Three years have passed since the start of the implementation of UN reforms on January 1st, 2019. The UN Development System (UNDS) reform was based on the GA Resolution 72/279 approved on 31 May 2018 and the UN Secretary-General Implementation Plan. The objective is to ensure that the UN is better fit-for-purpose to support countries achieve the ambitious agenda 2030. More specifically, the reform aims to reposition the UNDS with a stronger, better-defined collective identity as a trusted, reliable, cohesive, accountable, and effective partner to support countries to deliver the 2030 Agenda; the UN that member States invest in, and rely on, because they understand and support what it does, what it can deliver on, and how it functions. The reform should yield a UN development system that is more integrated, more focused on delivery results on the ground, with clearer internal and external accountability for contributions to national needs, and with capacities, skillsets and resources better aligned to the 2030 Agenda.
As a step towards strengthening and building the RCO and UNCT teams and to ensure joint planning, analysis, monitoring and delivery of high-quality work, the UNCT will have an annual retreat from 22nd to 24th November 2022 to reflect on how better to position the UN in Rwanda to deliver Agenda 2030 and beyond, delivering as one and leaving no one behind. The retreat will be preceded by RCO teambuilding retreat to be held on 21st November.
The UNCT, RCO and the Programme Management Team (PMT) held the first successful SDG Lab in person training in September 2022. The training came up with the following list of prototypes and respective prototype names to be developed in the next four months:
The UNCT will take advantage of being together at the retreat to have a follow up session with the Presencing Institute. The Presencing Institute team will connect virtually.
