Annual Work Plan 2016

MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING ARRANGEMENTS

The General Assembly, in its resolution 47/199 of 22 December 1992, reiterated that national execution should be the norm for programmes and projects supported by the United Nations system. The Annual Work Plan (AWP) will be implemented through the National Implementation Modality (NIM). This modality aims to achieve: (a) Greater national self-reliance by effective use and enhancement of the management capabilities and technical expertise of national institutions and individuals; (b) Enhanced sustainability of development programmes and projects by increasing national and local ownership and commitment to development activities; and (c) Reduction of workload and integration with national programmes through greater use of appropriate national systems and procedures.

In light of the nature of the AWP, which involves multiple stakeholders/beneficiary institutions and in view of the transformation process of the UNDP-GoSA collaboration, the National Treasury, as the coordinating authority of the Official Development Assistance, will be the executing agency while implementation of specific programme activities will be undertaken through MOUs and/or project documents with partner institutions. This modality is selected to minimize transaction costs for the AWP implementation without compromising on accountability. In this regard, the following specific management arrangements will be followed:

• 
  A joint National Treasury/selected national departments/UNDP Programme Management Committee (PMC) will be established to provide overall guidance and oversight of programme implementation. The PMC will meet at least twice a year;
  
• 
  The PMC will approve the scope of work and the budgets of the programme with beneficiary institutions/entities on an annual basis or for the implementation period. The work programme will include the type of support required for a given activity and period in accordance with the road map laid down for the repositioning process of GoSA-UNDP collaboration;
  
• 
  Specific project steering committees will also be established, where necessary to provide more directed project level oversight;
  
• 
  The disbursement of funds by UNDP for agreed activities will be done in conformity with the National Execution Modality and UNDP rules and regulations;
  
• 
  UNDP together with counterpart institutions will provide both narrative and financial reports on quarterly basis.
  

The implementation of the AWP will be monitored by the PMC against the deliverables contained in the document. Then MOU will specify targets and indicators for the agreed set of activities. UNDP will prepare an Annual Report in full consultation with the National Treasury and targeted beneficiary institutions, including annual Consolidated Financial Report. Preparation of quarterly progress report will be coordinated by the National Treasury and UNDP.
