Mission and objectives

Three years ago, Member States adopted bold reforms to the United Nations development system. At the heart of those reforms was a commitment to transform the United Nations development coordination function to unleash the system’s full capacity to support countries Ｏn their path to achieving the transformational 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The UN Resident Coordination Offices were retooled, under the oversight of the UN Development Coordination Office, as a means to streamline coordination, manage UN Country Teams and deliver Ｏn the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation framework. These frameworks are the primary data source for the UNSDG's contribution to the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Context

In its Resolution A/RES/72/279, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed the transformation of the Development Coordination Office (DCO) as a stand-alone coordination office within the United Nations Secretariat. DCO assumes managerial and oversight functions of the resident coordinator system under the collective ownership of the members of the United Nations Sustainable Development Group (UNSDG). This position is in the Communications and Results Reporting Section (CRRS) of DCO. Under the leadership of the Digital Strategist, the incumbent reports directly to a Public Information Officer/ Communications Officer working Ｏn the website www.unsdg.un.org and in collaboration with other members of the digital team as necessary.
