The United Nations Development Group (UNDG) is a consortium from the result of UN reform, created by the Secretary General of the United Nations in 1997, to improve the effectiveness of UN development activities at the country level.
Its strategic priorities are "To respond to the Triennial Comprehensive Policy Review (TCPR) and global development priorities, and to ensure the UN development system becomes more internally focused and coherent, the UNDG has developed and endorsed a set of strategic priorities for 2010-2011. The UNDG strategic priorities give direction to UNDG efforts at the global, regional and country level to facilitate a step change in the quality and impact of UN support at the country level". It brings together 32 UN agencies and groups, plus five observers working on various and/or similar development issues from the UNDP to the ILO.
Currently, the UNDG is one of the main UN actors involved in the development of the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
