Choices In Uncertain Times
Financing the UN Development System: Choices in Uncertain Times, is the 9th edition in this report series and offers in-depth overview of the financing dynamics of the UN Development System. It maintains focus on financial data quality, development of effective monitoring tools and broadening the data presentation. Contributors share options of how to deal with the current global challenges and provide several success stories.
In these troubled and turbulent times, the UN development system must be able to rely on predictable and flexible financing to meet its growing operational demands in the face of compounding challenges. The shared perspectives shape our commitment to galvanise unified, strategic, and integrated approaches to the SDGs. Thus prompting the channelling of resources to build resilience, mitigate risks, and prevent crises and armed conflicts. Such a financial commitment is instrumental in actualising the 2030 Agenda.
The choice is evident, it is ours to make, and it defines the challenges of our uncertain times.
