The UN Resident Coordinator system aims to bring together the different UN agencies to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operational activities at the country level.
Resident Coordinators lead UN country teams in 129 countries and are the designated representatives of the Secretary-General for development operations.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework - #unsdcf provides guidance to UN Country Teams (UNCTs) as they plan, finance, deliver and evaluate their support to countries in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and Targets.
