Background

The United Nations Country Team (UNCT) in Lesotho, in close collaboration with the Government and key stakeholders, is in the process of formulating a new United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2019-2023. In doing so, the UNCT will build on the lessons learned from the implementation of the Business Operation Strategy (BOS) 2014-2016/18 to further harmonize business operations, supporting efficient programme delivery throughout the new UNDAF cycle.
