Preparedness, policy coherence, and early results of UN Secretariat and selected UN entities in support to the SDGs: a thematic evaluation by OIOS Inspection and Evaluation Division
Overview
This evaluation assessed the extent to which UN Secretariat and selected UN entities have: i) prepared themselves to maximize the relevance, efficiency and effectiveness of their individual and collective contributions to the SDGs; ii) achieved policy coherence and iii) achieved early results in their support to governments. The evaluation found that a more fully integrated system-wide approach – one which cultivates complementarities, promotes synergies and harvests respective strengths – is critical if the Organization is to act cohesively in delivering the support Member States need to honour their 2030 Agenda commitments. In particular, the Organization should develop a system-wide framework to strategize a common and coordinated approach; identify an action plan that identifies the specific contributions of different entities and anticipates and mitigates against potential duplication and overlap; and undertake stronger and more efficient planning for and management of SDG-related partnerships. The report recommended that the EOSG/UNDSG should consider ways to include the mandate and activities of entities from the Peace and Security pillar, and the Management and Support entities not already included in UNSDG, in its work, including in the context of the system-wide strategic document (SWSD) currently being drafted, and that the EOSG/UNDSG should continue to take the lead in developing a system-wide partnership framework.
