Synthesis of Resident Coordinator Annual Reports 2009

This synthesis of UN Resident Coordinators’ annual reports for 2009 describes some of the critical ongoing work of the United Nations development system to support countries meeting the MDGs and their own national development goals. In these chapters, we see the importance of having seasoned, competent leaders as representatives of UN agencies at the country level. By bringing the specific competencies of their agencies to the UN Country Teams, they can work harmoniously and effectively with the Resident Coordinator to provide the kind of support to national leaders that can come only from the coordinated presence of the UN.
