Programme Management Team

Mandate and purpose The Delivering as One initiative presents the optimal opportunity to harmonize and simplify management practices, among participating UN agencies and between the UN and the Government. The Operations Management Team (OMT) provides guidance, recommendations and management support to the UNCT on operational matters.

Role and Responsibilities:

• Identify, assess and plan annual OMT activities. The planning process will also identify relevant operational activities, submit recommendations to the UNCT, and implement interventions – such as those related to common premises and services.
• Manage implementation of the approved Work Plan throughout the year. These activities will be undertaken in an open, transparent manner, with broad Agency participation.
• Establish Technical Task Forces, where required, to accomplish Work Plan-related tasks and activities. The OMT will decide membership, based on relevant skills and competencies.
• Submit to the UNCT a quarterly progress report with updated status of the annual work-plan.

Role of the OMT Chair:

• Convene meetings of the OMT.
• Coordinate input from team members, and ensure follow-up on action, when required.
• Liaise with the RCO to receive strategic input from Non-Resident Agencies.
• Monitor implementation of the work-plan.
• Attend UNCT meetings and present progress reports on operational matters.

Composition The OMT consists of key operations technical staff from resident UN Agencies. The OMT may co-opt other staff members from the participating Agencies to serve as OMT members, or as members of specific, technical taskforces. The OMT Chairperson shall be appointed by the Resident Coordinator, and shall attend UNCT meetings.
