The Delivering Together Facility in 2020: Consolidating its Legacy for a Transformative UN Development System

The COVID-19 pandemic brought disruption and loss of lives and livelihoods, and posed the first stress test to the UN development system since its reforms in 2018. The system rose to the challenge, working together at all levels, with better coordination and enhanced leadership, delivering a strong, integrated response to the health, humanitarian, and socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic. The Delivering Together Facility (DTF) has continued to play an important role at such critical time in support of the activities of the UN Development Coordination Office and inter-agency work, continuing to foster and consolidating its legacy for innovative, normative and policy priorities.
