4. Given the ongoing battle for narratives in most regions of the world, insists that implementing partners comply with visibility rules, further notes the fact that, while the EU and EU Member States collectively account for the single largest financial contribution to the UN system and are the leading donors of ODA globally, the tangible impact of these contributions in enhancing the EU’s geopolitical position and visibility in partner countries remains significantly below expectations; whilst recognising the shared values and objectives of the EU and the UN system, calls for the review of EU visibility rules to make the EU’s financial contribution to projects implemented by UN and other agencies recognisable;
