Common service lines

The BOS is results focused and structured around six common service lines. The figure below depicts the six common service lines that form the basis of cooperation in the BOS:

A list of common services was added to the platform as examples of common services from the many different collaborating experiences included by countries in their BOS. The common services are grouped into categories to facilitate the selection process.

The common services included in the online platform are meant to guide and inspire UNCTs and OMTs to collaborate and not meant as a prescriptive list. OMTs are encouraged to collaborate on the services that would be most beneficial in terms of quality and cost-efficiency in their country context. OMT working groups can search for common services within the common service lines. If a specific service is not found on the list, a context specific common service can be added.
