Resident coordinators must ensure cohesion and assist all agencies including non resident ones.

Ms. Rivington (Canada) asked how specialized agencies or non resident agencies without the will or the capacity to establish a country or regional presence could participate more effectively in the process at the country level.

Resident coordinator system

Resident Coordinators, Resident Representatives and their deputies are not held accountable for gender mainstreaming, and Resident Coordinators' competency assessments and annual performance reviews (RCAs) do not mention it.

The General Assembly should de link the functions of the resident coordinator and the resident representative of UNDP and change the designation process of the resident coordinator as explained in paragraph 86.8 This would allow the resident coordinator to discharge fully his her responsibilities and to establish a clear line of accountability to the entire United Nations development system, thereby ensuring full ownership of the resident coordinators by all United Nations system organizations.

And you are a resident of this land.

101. Emphasizes that programme countries should have access to and benefit from the full range of mandates and resources of the United Nations development system, whereby the national Governments should determine which resident and non resident United Nations organizations will best respond to specific needs and priorities of the individual country, including in the case of non resident agencies, through hosting arrangements with resident organizations, as appropriate

It is noted that there already exists an agreement in CEB that the functions of the resident coordinator be de linked from those of the UNDP resident representative.

Mr. da Silva Angelo will also continue to serve as the Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme and United Nations Resident Coordinator in Sierra Leone.

The 16 August 2001memorandum of Administrator to United Nations Resident Coordinators reaffirmed that gender equality remained a core commitment and informed Resident Coordinators of several steps to operationalize it.

While the management of the resident coordinator system should remain with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), which is our principal development institution, the broader United Nations Development Group (UNDG) should guide resident United Nations country teams, led by properly resourced and empowered resident coordinators.

Some participants highlighted the critical role of resident coordinators, particularly in the preparation of and follow up to missions however, such cooperation often depended on the willingness of individual resident coordinators.

A number of delegations noted with concern the low number of UNICEF staff members serving as resident coordinators, and encouraged UNICEF to contribute to the strengthening of the resident coordinator system.

Given their Resident Coordinator role, UNDP Resident Representatives should provide leadership on gender equality issues and gender mainstreaming within the United Nations system.

A total of 11 UNICEF staff have served as Resident Coordinators.

The resident country team and the resident coordinator should make it a priority to ensure that all the capacities of the system were geared towards responding to country requirements.

The resident coordinator system had also been strengthened.
