Institutions Overview


An overview of the proposed institutional arrangements is provided in Further updated list of proposed new institutional arrangements (Non-paper by the chair).


For Least Developed Countries an important principle is the coherence in the delivery mechanisms:

One must avoid structural overlaps and dispersion of effort and resources that are generated by a proliferation of (development) related mandates and programmes.

For background on this principle and challenges with complying, see the report by Papa Louis Fall and Mohamed Mounir Zahran (United Nations System Joint Inspection Unit (JIU)): TOWARDS MORE COHERENT UNITED NATIONS SYSTEM SUPPORT TO AFRICA .

Also the recommendations of 'Clouds but little rain': views from the frontline - A local perspective of progress towards implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action are to be considered.
