Status update: Key challenges and lessons learnt – RA 1&2 Lessons learnt Key challenges • Uncertainty surrounding the UN reforms in relation to the abolishment of RCM-Africa and the establishment of RCP. Smooth transition from RCM-RCP would have been beneficial for programme delivery. • There was a need to ensure the continuation of the activities of RCM-Africa pending the establishment of the RCP, in much the same way that the R-UNSDG platforms continue to be operational. • Inadequate financial resources • Budgetary requirements to PPBD in NY
