This what the Secretary-General and Member States expect from my Office. Authority comes with resources and information but also with credibility. I hope by demonstrating the highest levels of professionalism and by focusing our efforts that we can add value and prove that we are worth listening to, coalescing with. Member States have also reiterated their support to me in this regard. But I do not believe coordination can be imposed.
Agencies have to see the benefits.
It is our task to demonstrate these. The analogy of David and Goliath does not quite apply. They were enemies. OCHA and humanitarian agencies are allies. I intend to prove that, in many different areas.
