context of frontier issues, such as climate change,
corruption, digital space, inequality and migration.
The new Management Plan, which will be released
in 2018, is also anchored in the 2030 Sustainable
Development Agenda, with a strong focus on the
Agenda’s human rights-based commitment to
‘leave no one behind.’
The new Management Plan also addresses key
organizational processes. To help drive organizational performance strategically and in alignment
with the results the Office must deliver, action plans
have been devised to promote diversity and gender equality; build partnerships; promote innovation; enhance knowledge management; strengthen
communication; enhance human resources and resource mobilization.
In addition to evaluations undertaken in 2017, as
explained before, an analysis of the results of all
evaluations and audits conducted during the programming cycle 2014-2017 was undertaken in order to also provide inputs for the formulation of the
OMP for 2018-2021.
GMO 2: Organizational work processes,
systems and structures are aligned for
increased efficiency
Achievements under this GMO have been modest
during 2014-2017. Many of the recommendations from
the Office Functional Review, beginning with the regional restructuring proposals, were not implemented
awaiting the General Assembly’s Fifth Committee approval. Some progress was made in the review and reengineering of work processes to improve coherence
and coordination across different parts of the Office,
including with regards to clearance procedures, centralization of the recruitment function and coherence
in resource mobilization. Additional progress was
achieved in terms of records management, with implementation of a new registry system that facilitated an
improvement in the filing, management and follow-up
of official correspondence.
A total of 85 per cent of the outputs planned for this
GMO in 2017 were fully or substantially achieved. The
list below provides some examples of the initiatives
undertaken for this purpose.
