Introduction
The United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) is a core instrument for providing a coherent, strategic direction for UN development activities by all UN entities at country level. It guides the UN system in planning and implementing UN development activities at country level, as well as in mobilising a spectrum of development partners beyond the United Nations.
The 2019 UNSDCF Guidance provides a direction for strategic planning, funding, implementation, monitoring, learning, reporting and evaluation, all of which are undertaken by the UN development system with the host government and partners. For UN Country Teams to provide coherent and effective support to countries to achieve the 2030 Agenda, UN staff at global, regional, and country levels need to be thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the UNSDCF Guidance.
Among other things the pandemic has exposed shortcomings in international financing and vaccine equity, but it has also highlighted the value and enormous potential of international cooperation for development.
Thank you for your very positive and accurate introduction to our debate.
Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, Excellencies, Ladies and gentlemen,
This past year has been unlike any other in living memory.
The COVID-19 pandemic has already taken over three million lives.
Some 131 million people have been pushed into extreme poverty.
Unemployment has soared and billions saw their livelihoods vanish overnight.
The most vulnerable in our societies â particularly women and young people â have been disproportionately affected.
Years of development progress â and in some instances decades â have been reversed, making it both more difficult and more urgent to keep the promise of the 2030 Agenda.
