UN Resident Coordinator in Mongolia

In June 2018, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution that envisages the most far-reaching development reform in the history of the United Nations Development System in response to a unified call by Member States to transform the UN system.

The reform aimed to reposition the United Nations development system with a stronger, better-defined collective identity as a trusted, reliable, cohesive, accountable, and effective partner to the country within the 2030 Agenda.

The UN system in Mongolia is led by UN Resident Coordinator, who is the highest-ranking development official to represent the UN system in the country. The Resident Coordinator leads the UN Country Team, which consists of both resident and non-resident agencies, to deliver collective responses to national needs and ensure system-wide accountability on the ground.

The Resident Coordinator is supported by the Resident Coordinator’s Office (RCO). The office coordinates activities related to common programming including Agenda 2030, joint programmes, joint programming activities, and development coordination work. This is done in conformity with the objectives and priorities of the Government, and the mandates and objectives of the United Nations agencies.
