"Our Mission" Our mission is to empower people and organizations to achieve Sustainable Human Development in the Asia and Pacific region. We strive to be service-oriented development partners who provide and mobilize knowledge, ideas, management skills, information technology, human and financial resources for the solution of development problems. We draw in particular upon the region's rich traditional values, human resources and development experience. Operating on the basis of annual workplans agreed between Country Offices and RBAP New York (two-way compacts), shared values and clear standards of managerial and individual responsibility we are committed to measurable results. We are engaged in a process of continuing self-evaluation and reform aimed at improving our own efficiency and effectiveness and at assisting the United Nations system in becoming a stronger force for the benefit of the people and the countries in the region.

We aspire to be a Regional Bureau for Asia & Pacific where We all value, listen, and respect the views and opinions of
all colleagues at all times. We work to ensure that we earn the trust and confidence of our superiors, colleagues, and
subordinates. We strive to understand, to respect, and to celebrate the diversity of cultures and values. We are aware that
what may be considered as appropriate and respectful behavior and language for one may not be so for another. We endeavor
to establish effective working relationships that reflect and respect this diversity. To this end, we all have an obligation
to find common grounds, to mutually accommodate differences in culture and values. We know that a balance of work and life
is essential for well being of every staff member and the organization. We recognize that achieving that balance is a
continuing process. Using the different Work-Life options available, we strive to ensure that all staff members achieve the
proper balance consistent with their preferences, their lives outside work, and the exigencies of service. Supervisors and
senior management are supportive and do recognize competencies and good work, as well as provide timely feedback to improve
performance. As professionals, we all strive to go the extra mile when needed. Beyond the demands of work, we look after each other because we want to rather than because we have been asked to: It is a choice.
