Further allocations performance-based
RCO Mozambique
Following the initial allocation and every 6
months
1. If progress is deemed "satisfactory" then the
JP qualifies for an additional allocation
(formula same as initial allocation)
SATISFACTORY The JP has reached 70 of delivery
(in financial utilization against the AWP   JPs
that have a delivery rate of between 50 to 70
will be cautioned to increase the speed of
implementation and delivery of results, following
which they will be closely scrutinized for
subsequent allocations.
2. If progress is deemed unsatisfactory (under
50 ), the JP will be advised that subsequent
allocations of funds may be restricted should
implementation not improve in all components of
the Joint Programme.
 With full utilization and overall achievement of
annual targets for this category of Joint
Programmes by the end of twelve months of
implementation, and subject to a satisfactory
rating, the Joint Programme will be eligible to
apply for additional funds for the second year of
implementation. Should the Joint Programme
continue to have implementation difficulties
resulting in unspent allocations at the year
end, the UNCT may request reallocation of funds
within the Joint Programme or return of unspent
balances to the One UN Fund for allocation to
other well performing Joint Programmes.

Final considerations
RCO Mozambique
With an MDTF
agencies can concentrate on implementation
- implementation rate may suffer of the reduced
funds predictability
increased programme visibility added value
for small agencies, that have scarce
administrative capacity
