Provision of services to UN Resident Coordination System

The Resident Coordinator Office (RCO) coordinates the efforts of the UN Country Team operating in Moldova to ensure provision of efficient and effective assistance to accelerate the country’s development in line with the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, so it becomes a prosperous and modern European country.

At the same time, the RCO leads the consultations with the Government to define and agree on the UN strategic response to the Government’s development priorities.

The UN RC in a country is the designated representative of the Secretary-General and aims to bring together different resident and non-resident UN agencies, funds and programmes to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operational activities at a country level and committed to deliver shared results, including through the Republic of Moldova - United Nations Partnership Framework for Sustainable Development 2018-2022.

The United Nations (UN) in the Republic of Moldova and the Government signed the Partnership Framework for Sustainable Development 2018-2022 that focuses on (i) Democracy, good governance, human rights and gender equality; (ii) Sustainable, inclusive and equitable economic growth; (iii) Environmental sustainability and resilience; and (iv) Inclusive and equitable social development. In 2017, the United Nations in Moldova, in partnership with the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC), also supported the Government to evaluate the Moldova National Development Strategy 2020 and develop a new blueprint for “Moldova 2030”, which was fully aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and the EU Association Agreement.

The UN in Moldova remains a key partner in supporting Moldova’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) nationalization and implementation process. The Government has committed to achieving the SDGs, and with the support of the UN, the Moldovan State Chancellery conducted extended external consultations regarding the 2030 Agenda and its application to the local context. The SDGs nationalization report “Adapting the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development to the context of the Republic of Moldova” was presented to the Coordination Council for Sustainable Development and endorsed by its members on 4 July 2017.

In line with the signed MoU, UNDP will provide services to the RCO to achieve the set goals.
