Business Transformation and Accountability Division (BTAD)
The United Nations Secretary-General has called for an ambitious reform of the Secretariat to transform it into a nimbler organization that is more responsive. Fundamental to this change is a culture of transparency and accountability. A new dedicated capacity in business transformation and accountability (BTAD) brings together various functions dedicated to monitoring and strengthening performance and accountability across the Organization.

What We Do
BTAD works closely with and support managers across the Organization to enable a more holistic view of performance and a constant feedback loop for continuous learning and improvement.
