Office of UN Resident Coordinator - United Nations in Ukraine

The UN Resident Coordinator Office has been established in line with the UN reform package unveiled by the Secretary - General at a special General Assembly session in September 1997. The reform package highlighted the need of establishment a new leadership culture and management structure at the United Nations, and strengthening of the UN Resident Coordinator System was defined as an important priority for action.

With the increasing demands and complexity of Resident Coordinator’s functions and expectations of greater effectiveness, the UN Resident Coordinator has been provided with the support staff that comprised a Resident Coordinator Office (RCO).

The purpose of the RCO in Ukraine is to coordinate the efforts of the UN Country Team operating in Ukraine to ensure provision of efficient and effective assistance to accelerate the country’s steady progress towards social and economic development, observance of the world’s democratic standards and facilitation of Ukraine’s-world integration process.
