34. 区域办事处的工作主要由国家一级的需求驱动；在 6 个月的时间里，五个办事处中的每一个都向各自区域内的每一个国家提供了支助。几乎所有受访的区域办事处工作人员都说，他们的工作主要由驻地协调员和驻地协调员办公室的需求驱动。一名区域办事处工作人员介绍了一种力求完全由需求驱动的共同办法。对所有三个区域办事处的工作人员会议和讲习班的观察一步证实了需求驱动导向。例如，在所观察的所有工作人员会议上，区域办事处小组审查了驻地协调员提出的具体支助请求。在某些情况下，区域办事处被要求在很少提前通知的情况下为国家工作队举办关于合作框架进程各方面问题的讲习班。
34. The work of the regional offices has been primarily driven by demand at the country level; over a six-month period, each of the five offices provided support to every country in its respective region. Nearly all of the interviewed regional office staff described their work as mostly driven by resident coordinator and resident coordinator office demand. One regional office staff member described a common approach of striving to be completely demand-driven. The observation of staff meetings and workshops in all three regional office missions further confirmed a demand-driven orientation. For example, at all of the staff meetings observed, the regional office teams reviewed specific requests for support from resident coordinators. In some cases, regional offices were being asked to provide workshops for country teams on aspects of the cooperation framework process with very little advance notice.
