and 1998/26 of 28 July 1998,
Reaffirming that operational activities for development within the United Nations system have an
important role to play in enabling developing countries to continue to take a lead role in the management
of their own development process,
Stressing that national plans and priorities constitute the only viable frame of reference for the
national programming of operational activities for development within the United Nations system and that
programmes should be based on such development plans and priorities and should therefore be countrydriven,
Also stressing, in that context, the need to take into account the outcomes and commitments of
relevant United Nations conferences, as well as the individual mandates and complementarities of the
organizations and bodies of the United Nations development system, bearing in mind the need to avoid
duplication,
