Evaluation of UNECE project (E357) "Supporting UNECE member States in the development and implementation of the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) and the United Nations Resource Management System (UNRMS)"
This report presents the independent evaluation of UNECE’s extrabudgetary project (E357), "Supporting UNECE member States in the development and implementation of the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) and the United Nations Resource Management System (UNRMS)."
The UNECE project (E357) was anchored in UNECE’s Subprogramme 5, focused on promoting affordable, clean energy and minimizing the carbon footprint in the energy sector. The project leveraged the United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) and the United Nations Resource Management System (UNRMS) to bolster sustainable resource management aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement. The project, which began in June 2020 with a EUR 2 million budget and which will close on 15 July 2024, will be followed by a second phase. The project aimed to enhance resource management capabilities across UNECE member States and globally through activities such as developing standards, conducting workshops, and facilitating expert engagement. Its objectives were to improve resource classification systems and contribute to align management practices with global sustainability goals, targeting a wide range of stakeholders. UNFC and UNRMS were endorsed by ECOSOC and were invited for global adoption.
