Development of Mission / Field Entity Support Division Closure Progress Report (Guidelines)

Abstract

These Guidelines apply primarily to Mission / field entity Support Divisions (MSD) in peacekeeping mission / field entities undergoing closure. Other staff concerned with mission / field entity closure may be requested to provide input to different parts of the Progress Report and should be aware of these Guidelines.

Mission / field entity closures are a resource intensive period in a mission / field entity’s life, demanding timely and thorough planning. MSD Progress Report is a product of best practices based on previous closures, most notably United Nations Operation in Côte d'Ivoire, United Nations Stabilization Mission / field entity in Haiti and United Nations Mission / field entity in Liberia. Guidelines on preparing a Progress Report streamline and facilitate planning and improve the quality of mission / field entity closure processes.

This document is a supplementary document to 2018.08 Guide for Senior Leadership on Field Entity Closure.
