The UN: working “as One” in Brussels
The Director of the UNDP Office in Brussels is also the UN
Secretary-General’s representative in Brussels.
The UN/UNDP Director supports the Secretary-General, Deputy Secretary-General
and UN Secretariat in fostering the UN’s partnership with European Union (EU)
institutions. He also coordinates more than 20 Brussels-based UN agencies, funds
and programmes in the field of humanitarian and development assistance.
Since these agencies, funds and programmes are intensifying their presence in
Brussels, internal coherence and coordination have become crucial. In this
context, the Director of the UN/UNDP Office in Brussels promotes the "Delivering
as One" approach in joint advocacy and outreach activities, as well as on
operational matters.
UNDP staff in Brussels also contribute to the "Delivering as One” effort by: (i)
facilitating the response of the UN in Brussels to EC draft financial
instruments, evaluations, or development strategies (AIDCO evaluation and other
policy papers); (ii) helping strengthen the visibility of the UN’s collective
presence in Brussels through publications and outreach activities;. and (iii)
providing support for different departments at UN Headquarters.
