The Country Team


The UN Country Team (UNCT) drives UN activities at the country level. UNCT Malawi comprises the heads of all resident UN funds, programmes and specialized agencies. The IMF and World Bank are also members. Each UN Country Team agency is responsible for responding to the national development plans, as formulated by the government, to guide their own agency programmes.
