In Pakistan, the newly-empowered RC system coordinated across the entire UN family with the government, in response to the devastating floods that affected 33 million people. In Egypt, the reinvigorated role of the RC was a catalyst to mobilize UN expertise and comprehensive action to support the Egyptian Presidency of COP-27 on the climate crisis.
The system is data-driven – which is delivering new levels of transparency and accountability. The overwhelming majority of host governments agree.įully 88 per cent say that Resident Coordinators provide effective and strategic leadership in support of their national plans and priorities.Īll Least Developed Countries and Landlocked Developing Countries surveyed said the UN’s activities were closely aligned with their needs and priorities.Īnd all small island developing states said collaboration between UN entities has improved since the reforms. They are also working together to help address crises that cross borders. The verdict is in: Resident Coordinators are bringing United Nations entities together in support of countries’ priorities for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. My report on the QCPR implementation demonstrates that. When we started the reform process, no one foresaw that our country teams would be operating in such challenging conditions.ĭespite that, four years on, the reforms have succeeded. They are our eyes, ears and hands, supporting governments, convening stakeholders, and striving to translate global and regional commitments on the SDGs into action. The SDG Stimulus, the proposed reforms of the global financial architecture, the Acceleration Agenda on climate, the Transforming Education Summit, Food Systems transformation, the Global Digital Compact, the Global Accelerator on Social Protection and Jobs, the Black Sea Initiative and the Memorandum of Understanding on promoting Russian food and fertilizers to global markets – all these initiatives are aimed at reducing poverty, inequality and hunger, and getting the 2030 Agenda back on course.Īround the world, United Nations country teams lead our efforts for sustainable, inclusive development. Progress on another 50 per cent is weak and insufficient.īut it is not too late to turn the tide. We have gone into reverse on more than 30 per cent of SDG targets – including our most fundamental goals of reducing poverty and hunger. The Sustainable Development Goals – our only comprehensive solution to these crises – are far off track. Inequalities and gender discrimination are on the rise. The cost of food, energy, and finance has risen sharply, with a devastating impact on vulnerable countries and communities. Halfway through the timeline of the 2030 Agenda, we are leaving more than half the world behind.Ĭonflict and persecution have forced one hundred million people from their homes.Īnd the economic destruction and dislocation wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic was prolonged and amplified by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
