background

The United Nations System in Senegal, through the Operations Management Team (OMT), has developed a strategy for operational activities (BOS) covering the period 2017-2018. BOS articulates the shared vision of UN agencies for five (5) key operational areas in support and implementation of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2012-2018. Its operationalization was made in 2017-2018 through the implementation of operational activities and Action Plans of the 5 working groups set up for this purpose.

As such, the indicators targeted for monitoring the BOS are defined through its effects over the period 2017-2018.
