In delegating development coordination to the Deputy Secretary-General, the UN scribe set in motion the most ambitious reform in the history of the organisation’s development system.

“Ms. Mohammed’s leadership helped advance the conceptual shift from the UN that member- states called for in adopting the Sustainable Development Goals. 

“Over the last five years, the United Nations Sustainable Development Group was strengthened to enhance global leadership and oversight for development and the United Nations established a strengthened United Nations Resident Coordinator system as the foundation of a more effective development system,”  the UN said in a statement.
