This chapter turns to the UN operating locations established in Host States. In the day-to-day practice of multidimensional peace operations, the UN mission usually is established as a multifaceted mission, often located in or near the Host State capital. But depending on the type of the mission, other field locations or duty stations may be used by the various components of the mission. Operating locations may be spread out in the various provinces and districts of the Host State. At the country level, UN resident coordinators and UN country teams implement the UN Development Group’s strategic priorities by identifying the national policies, programmes, and capacity development gaps and challenges, to which the UN system can best contribute under national ownership and leadership by mobilizing the full range of mandates and expertise of the UN development system.
