Document Actions

132.      The UN is increasingly deploying integrated missions to address comprehensively and from a preventive perspective the interlinked dimensions of peace and security, humanitarian assistance and development. In appropriate situations, a single official has been designated as both Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Resident Coordinator, supported by an integrated task force at UN Headquarters. This allows the development community to work more closely with peacekeepers in a mutually supportive fashion and enables peacekeepers and development staff to address transition issues and concerns related to the reconstruction of crisis countries in a more coherent way. This integrated approach is currently being applied in Angola, Burundi, CĂ´te d’Ivoire, Liberia and Sierra Leone. While operating within this integrated framework, the UN is taking care to retain its capacity to ensure the independence of humanitarian action, cooperating closely with non-governmental organizations and the Red Cross.

133.      At the inter-governmental level, the ECOSOC Ad Hoc Advisory Group on African Countries Emerging from Conflict has advanced the UN’s capacity to address more coherently the socio-economic and political aspects of post-conflict recovery. It has also contributed to a further strengthening of collaboration between the UN and the Bretton Woods institutions in post-conflict situations.
