This evaluation examined progress towards a “new generation of United Nations Country Teams” mandated by A/RES/72/279. It assessed the alignment/derivation of UNSDG entity programming from Cooperation Frameworks, and the (re)configuration of UNCTs. It covered the period 2019-2025, all UNSDG entities and the Resident Coordinator system (including the Development Coordination Office) at country, regional and global levels. It was theory-based, and triangulated multiple data sources including: interviews with UN staff and external stakeholders, in-depth analysis of 21 UNCTs, extensive document review and analysis of survey data. This evaluation makes seven strategic recommendations to UNSDG, DCO, and Member States.
