United Nations Coherence

UNICEF Tools for Coherence

UNICEF works actively to make the UN increasingly coherent in development activities, considering this an improved way of working together to get better and faster results for children. Our work for increased coherence is guided by the Comprehensive Policy Reviews of the General Assembly - the most recent being the TCPR of 2007.

In this video interview, UNICEF's Deputy Executive Director, Ms. Hilde Frafjord Johnson speaks about a new tool called "ASK". This tool is designed to strengthen UNICEF's organizational capacity to support UNICEF offices in working more coherently with other UN agencies. "ASK" is an email based Coherence "help desk" mechanism where UNICEF offices and staff can go to seek support on any issue related to Coherence, whether it is technical or policy related.  ASK facilitates the response through a group of global experts in programme guidance, operations, funding and budgeting, communication and partnerships who can provide advice on UN Coherence from their respective areas of expertise.
