The need for better coordination in the United Nations (UN) system has grown along with the increased interconnectedness and complexity of transnational issues. Coordination is essential for what the Secretary-General considered ‘networked’ and ‘inclusive multilateralism drawing on the critical contributions of civil society, business, foundations, the research community, local authorities, cities and regional governments.’ 1 As the success of the UN reform agenda require working across silos, avoiding duplication, harnessing complementarities, and serving Member States to achieve Agenda 2030, better coordination is pivotal to these efforts.
To this end, this synthesis review by the Office of Internal Oversight Services - Inspection and Evaluation Division (OIOS-IED) provides an over-arching summary of key results and recommendations pertaining to the topic of coordination. It is meant to facilitate learning by sharing trends, insights and options to assist leaders and managers exercising their responsibilities.
