🤔 What is the difference between #governance in the UN and the private sector? 🏦 Corporate board members are obligated to be independent and make decisions in the interest of the company. 🏢 UN board members are #diplomats who represent their country's interests while also making decisions in the interest of the #UN. The latter is a much more complicated task, and rarely acknowledged. Except in the #WFP Governance Review, which is being discussed in Rome today. A similar governance review of the UN Boards in New York does not recognize this dual role of board members, which makes some of the recommendations quite risky. 📖 Learn more about the WFP Review: https://bit.ly/WFPGov And more about the review of NY-based Boards: https://bit.ly/3vZQJR7

The research you need to navigate #UN #governance meetings this week: #WFP’s Exec Board holds its 2nd consultation on the Management Plan on 9 Sept., a unique management tool for member states and the leadership in the UN system. Here’s what it is and why it works: https://bit.ly/4cQGSxD #UNWomen’s Exec. Board is updated on the JIU assessment of its governance functions at its session this week. The JIU review considers UN Boards to be the same as corporate boards, which creates some risks.  https://bit.ly/3vZQJR7 Whereas the governance review of WFP’s Board being discussed on 12 Sept, acknowledges that UN Boards are fundamentally different.  https://bit.ly/WFPGov Sign up to our bi-weekly newsletter to stay up to date! https://bit.ly/3PNGdTg
