Delivering as One Issues

• In 2009, the key priority was for the One UN
  Programme to be fully operational. While the
  Programme retained its focus on strengthening
  strategic support to the Countrys graduation
  process, it also paid special attention to the
  impact of the financial crisis on the country.
• Steering Committee (Gov. Sivil Society,
  Municipalities and UN RC 2 No Donors Most
  Vulnerable needs Special attention ( ex. WB
  ADfB)

• Being a late-starter among the pilots, DaO in
  CV is trying to make optimal use of the
  experience of the other Delivering as One pilot
  countries in aspects such as reporting, ME
  framework and communication strategy.

• The most significant result so far is the fact
  that 21 UN Agencies have come together under the
  DaO to bring additional resources and expertise
  to national priority objectives such as trade
  promotion, economic transformation and human
  security concerns such as combating
  narco-trafficking. This strong effort is expected
  to deliver concrete advancements in terms of
  development results from 2010.

Delivering as One Issues

• The Participating Agency model implemented in
  the Delivering as One in Cape Verde has
  demonstrated its validity throughout the first
  year of the One Programme. The distinction
  between Resident and Non-Resident Agencies in the
  Country has been removed and replaced by the
  inclusive concept of Participating Agency,

• out of 9 Sub-programmes, three are led by
  Agencies without a permanent presence in the
  Country (UNCTAD, UNIDO and UNESCO respectively),
  one is under the leadership of UNODC which has a
  National Programme Adviser and UNIFEM is leading
  (through a National Gender Adviser) together with
  OHCHR the cross cutting issues on Gender and
  Human Rights.

10
Delivering as One ISSUES

• So far more coherent results in support of
  national priorities have mainly been achieved
  through the One Programme under the Joint Office,
  
• Permanent Dialogue between Government and RC
• National Ownership in the conception Work annual
  Planinng

• The Integrated Framework has also been a good
  example of more coherent
• programming under the broader Delivering as One,
  with the production of a
• Joint Diagnostic Study on Cape Verdes
  integration in the world economy.

11
Challenges

• Many Non Residents agencies
• To Consider the Vulnerability of Cape Verde (7th
  most vulnerable in the World)
• Limited access to funding (Expanded Window)
• Phasing out of WFP
• Coordination and harmonization of management
  instruments
• Delays in fund disbursement
• Monitoring and Evaluation
