United Nations Development Group unite and deliver effective support for countries
The UNDG/ECHA Workshop on Transition took place over four days in late February-early March 2006 in Morocco, facilitated by DGO. The Workshop brought together Coordinators and Strategic Planners from 17 countries in transition settings, plus 13 representatives from UNDG/ECHA agencies, to meet three main objectives: (i) to share experiences, network, and to build relationships amongst the coordination practitioners in post-crisis, as a foundation for a community of practice; (ii) to review the tools and policy guidance currently being issued on transition, and to reassess the actual needs on the ground in terms of support, and finally to (iii) get input on what DGO could better do to support UN Country Teams in transition, and to clarify roles and responsibilities amongst the major Agencies. The workshop was structured around 5 main themes for discussion: (i) developing a common vision of the UN’s role in peace building and/or national recovery; (ii) achieving coherent and integrated planning for the un system; (iii) ensuring the appropriate capacities for the successful coordination; (iv) managing effective relationships with key partners and finally (v) securing resources for effective implementation. Outcomes of the discussions are captured in the 2006 Transition Workshop Report.
