With more than 140 projects executed since our inception, the UN Advisory Alliance is well-experienced across a wide range of comprehensive services. With our partners, we identify challenge areas and co-create projects to improve operational efficiency and align strategy with action.
See below for recent project updates from the UN Advisory Alliance.
World Food Programme
Country office transformation
Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Mali, Niger, Somalia
At the UN Advisory Alliance, we put country offices at the heart of our mission and support. During these transitional times, our team has closely collaborated with WFP Mali, Chad and Somalia to lead redesign and transformation initiatives aimed at enhancing operational effectiveness and efficiency. By tailoring our approach to each country office’s unique context, the team developed operational and financial recommendations, including a revised footprint for offices, fleet, guesthouses and warehouses, opportunities for cashable cost savings and process improvements. These efforts are designed to empower country office teams to deliver more efficient and agile assistance to the communities they serve.
UNESCO
Procurement strategy and change management
The UN Advisory Alliance is supporting the development of UNESCO’s new procurement strategy— an ambitious effort to enhance the organization’s procurement operating model and practices. Through strategic advisory, collaborative design and benchmarking, the team is advising UNESCO to develop a more agile, transparent and impact-oriented procurement function. This work not only strengthens operational excellence but also reinforces the organization’s ability to deliver on its mission.
United Nations Office of Information and Communications Technology
Information and communications technology reporting framework enhancement
The UN Advisory Alliance is currently working with the UN Office of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and the Chief Information and Technology Officer to enhance the office’s ICT reporting framework. The team aims to align and integrate various stakeholders in the strategy around a shared understanding of their work to establish a more cohesive reporting approach. We are supporting the office as they track progress on digital transformation efforts and craft compelling narratives for Member State engagement and resource mobilization.
Unitaid, a hosted partnership of the World Health Organization (WHO)
Innovative finance strategy
The UN Advisory Alliance is supporting Unitaid, a hosted partnership of the World Health Organization (WHO), in designing and implementing innovative financing mechanisms to mobilize new resources and improve financial sustainability. By identifying fit-for-purpose solutions, such as outcome-based or blended finance models, and engaging key partners, the team aims to generate predictable revenue streams to support Unitaid’s global health efforts. Once implemented, these mechanisms will help Unitaid accelerate access to life-saving health products in low- and middle-income countries more efficiently and at a greater scale.
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)
Strategic model review
The UN Advisory Alliance is supporting UNFPA in a strategic business model review process to strengthen the organization’s effectiveness, efficiency and impact in a rapidly changing global environment. In alignment with the UN80 initiative, a broader UN reform effort, and UNFPA’s future strategic direction, this work focuses on building a fit-for-purpose model that enables the organization to deliver results at scale. The UN Advisory Alliance is supporting this effort by providing data-driven analysis and strategic insights, enabling cross-functional engagement and informed decision-making as UNFPA navigates emerging challenges and opportunities.
