The effectiveness of the UN Resident Coordinator System is central to providing ever higher quality services to programme countries to enable them to accelerate MDG progress, advance peace and stability and achieve sustainable human development.
According to UNDP Administrator Helen Clark, “When we empower Resident Coordinators and UN Country Teams, streamline decision-making, and lay out clear lines of accountability, we do improve the coherence, effectiveness, and efficiency of the UN at the country level.”
The UN Country Team developed the United Nations Partnership Framework Agreement (UNPAF) for Thailand for the period of 2012 to 2016. The agreement builds on the UNPAF 2007-2011 and guides the preparation and implementation of UN programmes in Thailand during the next five-year period.The UNPAF 2012-16 is the result of extensive discussions with government and non-government partners of the UN and within the UN Country Team.
