Historique

With the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at its core, the December 2017 DG report was submitted in follow-up to the report released in June 2017 entitled “Repositioning the United Nations development system to deliver on the 2030 Agenda: ensuring a better future for all” (A/72/124-E/2018/3). The report responds to the mandates, due by December 2017, set out in General Assembly resolution 71/243 on the quadrennial comprehensive policy review of operational activities for development of the United Nations system, in which the Assembly specifically called for a system-wide strategic document for collective action to support the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and a comprehensive proposal on further improvements to the resident coordinator system.

The system-wide strategic document, produced by the United Nations Development Group, charts a path for the system to work collaboratively, building on the strengths of each entity, to accelerate its alignment with the 2030 Agenda at the country, regional and global levels.

Within this context, the UNCT in Cambodia has decided to develop a BOS 2018-2022. The BOS will outline all inter-agency harmonization and operations activities planned to integrate in the
UNDAF 2018-2022, while incorporating various operational analyses. The BOS development process will be aligned with UNDAF, with BOS priorities being developed based on the operational requirements of the UNDAF priorities.
