to His Excellency the President, the Government and people of The Gambia, for a successful summit. Since 1997, after the call by the UN Secretary General for a bold frontier for the UN and the setting up of the United Nations Development Assistance group, UNDG, UN agencies have been moving the harmonization and alignment agenda forward. UN reform is underpinned by several goals – placing national priorities at the center of development, forging a results driven, coherent and transparent UN response to development challenges, seeking to achieve greater impact and reducing transaction costs through common services and premises, to name just a few. Over the next five years, the United Nations system in The Gambia, intends to achieve those goals through the United Nations Development Assistance Framework, UNDAF, which has already been formulated in collaboration with the Gambia government. The UNDAF is firmly anchored in the country’s Vision 2020 and Poverty Reduction Strategies, PRS and the Millennium Development Goals with three broad areas of cooperation Poverty Reduction and Social Protection, Basic Social Services, Governance and Human Rights. As a team, the UNCT will be looking at government to set priorities and provide leadership and at NGOs and civil society organizations, donors, the private sector, regional and sub regional institutions and the media to partner with us and government. With such an approach, I am confident that the UN system will be able to bring added value to its contributions in The Gambia Your Excellency, let me conclude by underlining that I hope your government’s unwavering support for the United Nations team in this country and commitment to 4
the UN ideals will help me to become an effective Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative. Distinguished Guest, Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for your attention and enjoy the evening. 5
