JOINT POSITIONING BY THE REGIONAL UN SYSTEM IN EUROPE AND CENTRAL ASIA

In contrast to the Millennium Development Goals, the new and universal agenda applies to all countries both in the Western and Eastern parts of the region. The main responsibility to implement the SDGs lies with the Member States. The regional UN system will provide support to programme countries, mainly through the UN Country Teams and the UN Resident Coordinators, and will offer support to other countries, upon request.
