Human rights advisers to United Nations country teams The Resident Coordinator system encompasses all organizations of the United Nations system concerned with operational activities for development, regardless of their formal presence in the country. The system aims to bring United Nations agencies together to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operational activities at country level. Human rights advisers are deployed at the request of the Resident Coordinator in a country and assist him or her, and the United Nations country team, to integrate human rights into their programmes and activities. They also advise on strategies to strengthen national human rights capacities; advise and provide training to independent national human rights institutions; build networks with and provide practical support to civil society actors; and provide operational support to human rights training and/or national capacity-building activities. Resident Coordinators lead United Nations country teams in more than 130 countries and are the designated representatives of the United Nations Secretary-General for development operations. Working closely with Governments, Resident Coordinators and country teams promote the interests and mandates of the United Nations system.
