Linkages with the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF)

The impact of UN programmes at the country level is reliant on the effectiveness, efficiency, and cost of the operations that support them. Overtime with the BOS implementation it is likely that, with better quality and lower cost business operations, more resources remain within the programme budget. Although it is no longer mandatory for the BOS to be aligned to the timelines of the country programmatic framework, UNCTs may still choose to align the two at specific points where this interaction is particularly valuable. This could be at the planning or the review steps where the BOS can be adjusted to better support programme operations.
