“A streamlined country presence should be placed in the context of how this contributed to a more coherent, coordinated, and a more effective UN presence” aimed at helping States to achieve the internationally agreed development goals,” said Thoraya Obaid, Executive Director of the UN Population Fund (UNFPA). The purpose of management reform, she added, was to ensure that the UN system was more efficient in delivering its aid, while upholding universally agreed human rights.
“There is nothing more important than working in partnership to achieve concrete results from the programmes in order to touch the lives of people, and provide them with hope for the future,” said James T, Morris, Executive Director of the UN World Food Programme (WFP).
