The Transitional Engagement Framework (TEF) is the overarching strategic planning document for the UN system’s assistance in 2022. It provides strategic direction and coherence; ensures UN coordination, collaboration, and complementarity of action; and provides a basis for joint risk-sharing and accountability.
The TEF highlights the evolving geo-political and socio-economic context in which it will operate, the cost of inaction if international assistance ceases; the UN’s strategic priorities, intended collective outcomes and the resources required to achieve them; the principles of engagement for its operations; and the UN coordination and implementation arrangements.
