The
United Nations Department of Field Support is responsible for the delivery of
applications that satisfy the requirements of the Departments of Peacekeeping
Operations and Field Support (DPKO/DFS) missions as well as Special Political
Missions (SPMs).
DFS has
implemented a range of systems to address the principal requirements of
peacekeeping operations and to support and enhance the processes DFS
undertakes.
Umoja is
the project approved by the General Assembly resolution 63/262 that aims at the
transformation of the United Nations Secretariat by enabling high-quality,
cost-effective service delivery to support the execution of evolving mandates
everywhere the Organization operates.
Umoja,
which means "unity" in Swahili, will unite the many support and
administrative entities throughout the Secretariat, including in peacekeeping
and field missions, through re-designed and common processes for the management
of all financial, human and physical resources; a single integrated information
system; and training of staff.
UNOPS has
been requested to assist in the implementation of this activity.
