Major Components of the Resident Coordinator System (RCS)

The Kenya Country Committee (KCC)

The Kenya Country Committee is comprised of the representatives of agencies, which have country representation. Those United Nations organizations with no country representative are linked to the Kenya Country Committee through the Resident Representative of UNDP, also the Resident Coordinator. The representatives of the Breton Woods institutions also participate in the Kenya Country Committee on issues of mutual interest and concern, at Kenya Country Committee retreats, and in United Nations Theme Groups, ensuring linkages with the World Bank's Country Assistance Strategy (CAS).

The Kenya Country Committee is led by the Resident Coordinator and supported by Resident Coordinator System Secretariat. The role of the Kenya Country Committee is to enhance substantive collaboration among member organizations and to strengthen opportunities for a joint or common management of United Nations system operations in Kenya, favouring an integrated system-wide approach to development cooperation. It provides collective leadership to the United Nations system in Kenya, approves and monitors annual Resident Coordinator system Work plans, oversees the work of Theme Groups and operations committees, including the approval of their respective work plans, and seeks and acts on ways to strengthen collaborative planning and operations of the United Nations system. The Kenya Country Committee also meets with Government, development partners, and designated focal points within the United Nations system to ensure the relevance and complementarity's of the system's development assistance.
