The Vietnamese Government and the United Nations reached a new milestone in advancing the UN reform effort by signing a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the construction of the Green One UN House in Hanoi on December 26.
Addressing the event, Deputy Foreign Minister Pham Quang Vinh stressed “the signing of the MOA is a reaffirmation of the strong commitment of the Vietnamese Government to the implementation of the “Delivering as One initiative.”
Once completed, the Green One UN House will stand as the symbol of the lasting cooperation between Vietnam and the United Nations, Vinh said.
UN Resident Coordinator Pratibha Mehta extended her sincere appreciation to the Vietnamese Government, saying that “with its green building features, the Green One UN House will also demonstrate UN’s commitment to environmental sustainability.”
The Green One UN House will facilitate inter-agency teamwork and programmatic synergies. The new building will use energy and water efficiently, thus reducing the environmental footprint of the UN in Vietnam .
The project is a joint endeavor between the Vietnamese Government, donors and the UN Country Team.
Vietnam is one of eight global pilot countries for “Delivering as One” initiative, which aims for UN system-wide coherence and greater efficiency and effectiveness at the country level. Vietnam is among the first countries globally to pursue programmatic synergies through co-location and functional clustering of UN staff.-VNA
