Underlying Rationale • Under UNDAP: agencies deliver towards common goals with shared results • Now step further: JPYE and other JPs are thematically focusedwith integrated interventions by multiple actors • Moving towards shared implementation and shared results • Using and capitalizing on the competitive advantage of each UN agency at different project stages
Implementation Frameworke.g. agr. Value Chain UNWOMEN: training and capacity building for women ILO & FAO UNIDO UNIDO Cooperatives & Associations Enterprise Enterprise Youth Youth Farmers Youth FAO FAO & ILO FAO FAO
Levels of Interventions 1. Upstream – Macro-level • Policy and Statistics: strengthening statistical system for collection and processing of data related to employment • To inform National policies, strategies, plans and programmes 2. Downstream – Micro-level - Value Chain Approach • Different interventions along the value chain by different UN agencies in a coordinated and coherent manner • Selected Value Chains for joint interventions and collaboration • Scaling up existing interventions and maximise impact
Challenges & Mitigation Strategy Challenges Mitigation • Scope of the exercise vs. Agency capacity e.g. Sufficient and qualified personnel • UN organizations established own specific mandates • Accountable, empowered leader and Country Team • Resources Mobilization Strategy and Sustainability of One Fund • Competition for funds (decentralization of funding responsibilities by PUNs) • Empowerment and support to joint programming personnel • capitalize on the strengths and comparative advantages of the different members of the UN • Effective leadership, tools, incentives and sanctions for better coordination • Mapping of donor priorities and approaches to financing/focus on Specific, flexible and pragmatic resources mobilization • Objective eligibility and performance based criteria. Link budgets to implementation and absorption capacity.
Conclusion • DaO and Joint Programming progress depends on engagement, vision, strategies and resources. • Teams are inevitable tool both within and among PUNs • The commitment and political will of all partners, all stakeholders at field level and at HQs is imperative. • Joint programme provides an opportunity for the UN to leverage resources, expertise and experience • The Tanzania UNDAP has brought greater programmatic coherence, greater synergies and • has helped the UN in responding better to the national priorities
