This note is provisional internal guidance to establish a common base of understanding for UN system support to country-led effective development cooperation efforts as well as development partner/donor coordination, recognizing the complementary roles of the Resident Coordinator (RC) and the UNDP Resident Representative (RR).
Noting that country and partnership contexts vary greatly, this note should not be taken as prescriptive. Rather, it suggests entry points and available tools/instruments for strengthening the UN development system (UNDS) role in effective development cooperation, key areas of support and the respective role of RC and the UNDP RR at country level in support of strengthening country – led effective development cooperation mechanisms, including development partners coordination. It will remain a living document, to be updated based on collection and synthesis of additional practical examples. Accordingly, it will be reviewed jointly after one year based on implementation experience.
