Why create strategic priorities for UNDG? • Urgent need for UNDG to support national partners accelerate progress on MDGs/IADGs and other major global challenges • Feedback from field that UNDG too focused on producing policy guidance • Need for greater clarity on UNDG top priorities to facilitate a step change in the quality and impact of UN support at the country level • UNDG Chair requested in December 2009 recommendations on strategic priorities through end of TCPR
UNDG strategic priorities for 2010-2011 • Endorsed by the Advisory Group Principals on 8 April 2010 • Endorsed by the full UNDG on 4 May 2010 Overarching goal: Maximize UNDG impact at country level by helping national partners accelerate MDG/IADG achievement How? • Country level: Resident Coordinators and UN Country Teams drive impact • Regional and global levels: UNDG leaders drive key UNDG system changes to support enhanced country-level impact
