Mission and objectives
The United Nations Resident Coordinator Office (UNRCO) coordinates all UN organizations dealing with operational activities for development at the country level. Its mission and vision are anchored in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The vision is to create a unified, effective, and independent UN presence that delivers impactful, integrated support aligned with national priorities. It envisions a harmonized "One UN" approach that maximizes resources, minimizes duplication, and accelerates the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The mission is to lead the UN Country Team (UNCT) in bringing together diverse UN agencies to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of development, humanitarian, and peacebuilding activities at the local and national levels. The UNRCO serves as the strategic cornerstone of this system, working to: Coordinate: Harmonize programs and resources among resident and non-resident UN entities to foster synergy and eliminate operational silos. Align: Formulate and implement the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) to strategically address specific country challenges.

Context
The United Nations in Nigeria is undertaking a Common Country Analysis (CCA), which serves as the evidence base for identifying key development challenges, opportunities, and priorities to inform UN programming and support to national development efforts. As part of this process, the UN is conducting stakeholder data validation exercises with representatives from government, civil society, the private sector, youth, women, and other groups to ensure that the findings accurately reflect realities on the ground. Online Volunteers will support these sessions by taking detailed notes during discussions, capturing key insights, recommendations, and stakeholder perspectives. Their contributions will help ensure that the outcomes of the validation exercises are accurately documented and incorporated into the final analysis, thereby strengthening the quality and inclusiveness of the CCA. This, in turn, will support evidence-based decision-making and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by helping the UN and its partners design more effective and responsive development interventions.
