Evaluation Synthesis of Strategic Planning
Overview
This report provides a synthesis review of key results and recommendations emanating from the reports of the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) - Inspection and Evaluation Division (IED) pertaining to the topic of strategic planning within and across Secretariat entities.1 This is part of a series of synthesis reports that pulls together evidence from different OIOS-IED inspections and evaluations on topics of strategic importance to the United Nations Secretariat, in order to speak collectively on their relevance and impact on the work of the Organization. It is meant to facilitate a learning process by sharing trends and insights that can be helpful to senior leaders and programme managers.
The ultimate objective of the Secretary-General’s reforms is to enhance the effectiveness of the Organization in meeting all its mandates and to enhance its accountability for results, while complying with the parameters set out by Member States. The Organization’s ability to achieve its core mandates to promote peace and security, protect human rights, address humanitarian needs and advance economic and social progress set out in the 2030 Agenda, is highly dependent upon effective strategic planning. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted fragilities within and among nations and across the Organization for mounting a coordinated whole-of-system response to its effects. At the same time, the United Nations liquidity crisis has made absolutely necessary the strategic planning and use of diminishing resources. In order to rise to these challenges, learning lessons in strategic planning has become that much more crucial for effective programme performance for mandate implementation. Good strategic planning ensures the utilization of the Organization’s resources in an integrated, coordinated, focused and
effective manner towards the achievement of mandates.
