The Regional Commissions New York Office (RCNYO) is a joint office for policy advice and representation at the global level for the five UN Regional Commissions (ECA, ESCAP, ECLAC, ECE and ESCWA). In this regard, the office provides substantive and representational functions to the global UN intergovernmental bodies, notably GA and ECOSOC, under agenda items relevant to the work of the Regional Commissions. The Office monitors, analyses, reports and provides policy recommendations to the Commissions on global substantive deliberations and legislative processes with a bearing on their programme of work, individually and/or collectively. The office also assists in identifying global trends, challenges and opportunities with a bearing on the work and positioning of the Regional Commissions and provides strategic advice in this regard.
