A UN Country Team (UNCT) retreat was held to explore how to transform the UN in Cambodia and better deliver transformative programmes. The sessions explored new pathways to challenge current assumptions and identified opportunities to update planning and implement new approaches in the UNCT. Participants deliberated actions beyond the current agenda with a focus on vulnerable people. Youth leaders were included to provide a diverse perspective. The retreat aligned key stakeholders around a future shared vision and helped identify concrete steps to drive transformative change.
