Joint Office :-What have we learned?-
“Delivering as One” through Joint Programming and Joint Programmes
Joint Programming: process of UN organizations and national partners working together to prepare, implement, monitor and evaluate development activities in order to achieve national priorities related to MDGs or commitments arising from UN conferences, summits and conventions. It includes:
UN Contribution to Country Analytic Work/CCA, UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF)JSM, Joint monitoring, Annual Review of UNDAF, UNDAF Evaluation
What is Joint Programming?
A joint programme is a set of activities contained in a common work plan and related budget, involving two or more UN organizations and
(sub-)national partners. What is not a JP?
• Regular joint events (e.g. UN days)• Funding arrangements, whereby programmes funded by one UN organization
and implemented by another UN organization • Pass-through fund management mechanism used solely to channel resources
without JP work plan
What is and is not a Joint Programme?
Rationale: Joint Programmming & Joint Programmes (JPs)
TCPR 2001, 2004, 2007 UN Reform call for increased Joint Programming
Reduce transaction costs for governments, donors, UN
Respond to donors & countries concern for enhanced UN development contribution
Responding to the Secretary Generals November 2006 “Delivering as One” Report and in the spirit of the
Paris Declaration the UN engages in joint programmes to strengthen how UN organizations jointly work with governments. Joint Programmes (JPs) add value as a rational response to addressing national priorities in a
coordinated, streamlined and cost effective way maximizing synergies among national partners while
drawing on UN agencies comparative advantage expertise.
How JPs contribute to “Delivering as One”
Reported JP ADVANTAGES in 2006 RC Reports
300+ JPS developed since 2000
Improved coordination among agencies
Multiplied disciplinary approaches to issues with distinctive UN brand
Reduced programme duplication and synergies in supporting same priorities
Enhanced development impacts; strengthened team building across UN staff operational cadres
Lessons Learned from UNDG Review on Joint Programmes
Not fully exploiting potential to mainstream thematic priorities that are not exclusive to any one UN Agency
Need RBM systems to measure & report impact
Explicit strategy needed to address participation of NRAs
JPs not realizing potential of partnerships
UNCTs advised not to “over focus” on JPs, but evaluate from country perspective what outcomes can best be achieved by a JP.
