The United Nations remains the key institution to foster dignity,
prosperity, and peace on a healthy planet. The UN’s work on development is
carried out by a broad range of agencies, funds and programmes and
contingent on local contexts and regional and global economic and political
dynamics. In 2019, the UN started implementing a reform to reposition the
United Nations development system. The reform aims at a system that is more
integrated, more focused on delivery on the ground, with clearer internal
and external accountability for contributions to national needs, and with
capacities, skillsets, and resources better aligned to the 2030 Agenda.

A year into the reform, high-level experts share the experiences with the
independent and empowered Resident Coordinator system at the country level,
the redesigned UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework and the
collaboration at the global and regional levels at the UN Sustainable
Development Group. The discussion will unveil how the UN’s development
system can work to support countries to achieve the 2030 Agenda but also
highlights challenges to achieve this goal.

The panel features:
Mourad Wahba, Assistant Administrator and Regional Director for Arab
States, UNDP

Giovanie Biha, Deputy Director, United Nations Development Coordination
Office

Irena Vojáčková-Sollorano, Regional Director, UN DCO for Europe and Central
Asia and UN Resident Coordinator in Turkey

Jeffrey Sachs, University Professor and Director of the Center for
Sustainable Development, Columbia University

Moderated by Daniel Naujoks, Director a.i. for International Organization &
UN Studies, Columbia University
