Review of UN Integration - Addendum 2 - Framing a Business Case for Multifunctional Peace Consolidation Missions

This essay argues that the United Nations should modify the integration1 mandate for multifunctional United Nations presences. It would be replaced with incentive-based guidelines, articulated through a business case, that encourage participating United Nations entities to collaborate in ways that accountably enhance United Nations system performance. The proposed business case does not replace the Integrated Assessment and Planning (IAP) Policy. Rather, it strengthens and elaborates that Policy by filling some critical gaps which our interviews have revealed are serious barriers to efforts by the United Nations to exploit fully its collaborative advantages.
