Global Coordination Mechanisms
UNESCO strives to advance the contributions to development of Education, the Sciences, Culture and Communication and Information, as necessary to meet the increasingly complex challenges of the world today.
As the UN system is called to increasingly work together for enhanced coherence, UNESCO is an active participant in the work of the UN’s Global Coordination Mechanisms, the Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) and its pillars, and contributes to their deliverables .
UNESCO’s Director-General is a member of the Chief Executives Board (CEB) for Coordination. Chaired by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, the CEB brings together on a regular basis the executive heads of the UN organizations. Its mandate is to foster UN-system wide coordination and cooperation on a range of contemporary programmatic and management issues facing UN system organizations.
CEB is supported by three high-level committees:
- High-level Committee on Programmes (HLCP)
responsible for substantive programme issues - High-Level Committee on Management (HLCM)
responsible for relevant management issues of the UN system - United Nations Development Group (UNDG)
