Summary of UNDG Business Operations Strategy (BOS)
March 2016
Background
The QCPR 2013-2016 requests the UN System to accelerate harmonization efforts of business
operations, in particular reducing the duplication of functions, and administrative and transaction costs.
(...) Mid-Term Evaluation
In early 2015, the UNDG Business Operations Working Group commissioned an independent panel of consultants to assess the degree to which BOS contributes to reducing costs and increasing quality of operational support. (...) The evaluation report further validated a range of qualitative and quantitative benefits as anticipated under the BOS, and outlined recommendations to further enhance the BOS methodology and the support structures provided to the country office with the aim to scale up common operations to reduce operational cost and quality of operational support to programme delivery.

Summary Update on Brazil Joint Operations Facility
March 2016
The UNCT in Brazil went a step farther in the harmonization of business operations, choosing to supplement the BOS initiative in the country with an integrated service delivery platform – the Joint Operations Facility (JOF)1. The JOF business model, which was launched on 18 January 2016, is based on three core premises: a) the simplification of business processes; b) the integration of operational services across agencies, and c) flexibility and adaptation of practice accordingly to country context.
The JOF realizes the QCPR 2012 request to harmonize UN operational policies and procedures. This integrated UN service center is a step towards a common UN back office, for all UN entities operating in Brazil.
