UN delivering as One
Up one levelOne UN
The UN Secretary General’s High Level Panel report on System Wide Coherence advocates for the UN System to ‘Deliver as One’ to overcome fragmentation and increase impact and efficiency of its assistance and coherence of its actions. However, lengthy inter-governmental negotiations are required to implement the report’s recommendations, many of which would mean an important change in the way that UN’s higher level structures work. In the meantime, the UN Secretary-General has decided that the UN System in the field could move ahead with the ‘One UN’ pilot in a number of countries. Upon the request by the Government, Rwanda and Tanzania were selected as one of the eight pilot countries in January 2007, in addition to Albania, Cape Verde, Mozambique, Pakistan, Vietnam and Uruguay.
