United Nations Development Group unite and deliver effective support for countries
UNDG Arab States

UNDG Arab States works closely to address development and humanitarian issues in striving to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and beyond in the region. The work of UNDG Arab States is guided by the Triennial Comprehensive Policy Reviews (TCPRs), the Global UNDG Arab States meetings and the Management and Accountability paper.

Overall, UNDG Arab States' work focuses on providing UN Country Teams (UNCTs) with strategic guidance and policy advice, and coherent, coordinated and timely technical support through the established inter-agency Quality Support and Assurance mechanism and oversight through the RC/UNCT Performance Appraisal system.

Information on the UNDG Arab States' work can be found in the annual workplan and includes, among others, developing strategic frameworks for addressing key challenges in the region with the current priorities being:

  • Youth,
  • The nexus of Climate Change and Food Security, and
  • The role of the UN in Middle-Income Countries (MICs).

Other areas of focus include Promotion of the UN Reform Process, including lessons learned from the "One UN" pilot countries; Quality Assurance of UNDAFs and CPDs; Promotion of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); and Oversight through the Performance Appraisal process and strengthened coordination among the agencies. UNDG Arab States meets on a regular basis and their work is supported by the UNDG Arab States Secretariat, which ensures implementation and follow up to UNDG Arab States decisions.
