Tuesday, 17 May 2022

Boosting transparency and accountability through UN INFO
In the historic repositioning of the UN development system through General Assembly resolution 72/279, Member States called for increased accountability and transparency on collective results of the UN development system.
UN INFO is part of the United Nations’ efforts to improve coherence, transparency and accountability for results. This suite of online tools tracks the collective UN Country Teams’ contributions to the SDGs, including spending, partners and beneficiaries by digitizing the UNCT Joint Workplan of the Cooperation Framework. Information is showcased on country and global websites/platforms, also playing a pivotal role for data-centered and visually compelling UN Country Team annual results reports.
The side event will showcase the potential of UN INFO by guiding through this new data portal, currently being developed, and seek further feedback from Member States on their vision for transparency and accountability of system-wide results.

Delivering on UN Development System Reform in the Eastern and southern Caribbean: UN and USAID Partnership to accelerate progress of the SDGs in SIDS
The event highlights the success and best practices associated with the significant increase in USAID’s coordination and collaboration with UN bodies and specialized agencies in order to advance both the U.S. Government's international development agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals, and the UN Development System Reform within the Small Island Developing States across the Eastern and Southern Caribbean.
The event will demonstrate how the partnership supports the UN Development System reform and the mandate given by Member States under the Quadrennial Comprehensive Policy Review on complex and significant development policy, program, and reform issues in the UN system. It will also highlight how the partnership supports both the UN and USAID on developing and implementing policies, programs and guidelines affecting broad, emerging, and critical support in international development goals within the SIDS related to the Eastern and Southern Caribbean and provide evidence-based results on how the partnership and collaboration is helping to achieve development objectives around economic, security, social, and environmental sectors.
