In its Resolution A/RES/72/279, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed the transformation of the UN Development Coordination Office (UNDCO) as a stand-alone coordination office within the United Nations Secretariat. DCO assumed managerial and oversight functions of the resident coordinator system under the collective ownership of the members of the United Nations Sustainable Development Group (UNSDG). Under the UN development system reform, a reinvigorated RC system has been rolled out since 2019 and has created new frameworks, instruments, tools and platforms to support the RC system, and enhance accountability and transparency.\n\nThe United Nations Development Coordination Office (DCO) supports the UN Resident Coordinator System globally, providing oversight, guidance and operational services to drive coordinated development results across 162 countries and territories.\n\nTo improve development coordination, facilitate data harmonization and demonstrate the UNSDG’s contribution to Agenda 2030, DCO established the online UN INFO system. UN INFO enables users to manage the data for a standard results framework based upon the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework guidance. Accurate data management and analysis of information within UN INFO is critical for accountability and transparency on the work and results of the UN development system and of the RC system. UNINFO is also the main system for the UNCTs in their active engagement on the Efficiencies agenda, which enables cost effective sharing and use of resources within each country context.\n\nThe Development Coordination Office (DCO) is committed to providing the Resident Coordinator System and the UN Sustainable Development Group with modern software platforms that facilitate efficient and effective development operations. Building upon an established foundation, DCO is now focused on enhancing, expanding, and evolving these platforms in-house. This approach allows for greater agility in responding to evolving policy and programming needs, ensuring alignment with the latest UN development reform mandates, including those related to the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF).\n\nRole Purpose\n#schemaField_font_style, #schemaField_font_style * { font-size: inherit !important; font-style: normal !important; color: inherit !important; } #schemaField_font_style a { color: #006699 !important; } #schemaField_font_style\nThe incumbent will be a vital member of the Data and Digital team, contributing to the ongoing evolution and maintenance of DCO's software platforms.
