Activity under preparation EU Contribution to the UN Resident Coordinator System under the GC Partnerships MAAP 2024-26 In May 2018, the UN Development System (UNDS) undertook a reform including the design of a reinvigorated Resident Coordinator System (RCS, launched in January 2019), to get UN Agencies/Programmes/Funds work together more efficiently at country level. In addition, UN Resident Coordinators (RCs) coordinate UN support to countries in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.The EU contributed EUR 73.4 million over 2019-23 to the RCS (part of the EU funds were coming from DG NEAR and FPI) ¿ namely, to the System functioning and the development of more than 60 Integrated National Financial Frameworks. Another EUR 30 million have been mobilised by INTPA for 2023-26 to specifically boost, under RCs¿ leadership, digital transformation in a set of Partner Countries. The present EU (INTPA) contribution worth EUR 16 million is meant to support the System itself (its functioning) and its SDG agenda in fields other than digital and countries other than the ones targeted by the coexistent contribution. The EU commitment is also political, in favour of the pursuit of the UNDS reform, the empowerment of the RCS, and the strengthening of the global EU partnership with the UN at country level. Indeed, the present contribution intends to enhance sustainable partnerships between EU Delegations and UN RC Offices/Country Teams; thereby further promoting the effectiveness of EU-UN cooperation at field level and the localisation of the 2030 Agenda in line with EU priorities.The EU financial support (8 million EUR in 2025 and 8 million EUR in 2026) shall be channelled through an entrusted implementer, that is a pillar-assessed UN entity, in indirect management.
