INTRODUCTION
The 2016 Annual Workplan is informed by the Country Office progress to date on the implementation of the Country Programme Action Plan (CPAP 2013-2017); which is aligned to the National Development Plan, the United Nations Strategic Cooperation Framework 2013-2017; lessons learned from the implementation of the 2015 Annual Workplan; requests from government for high-end policy development and programme implementation; and the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) late in 2015.
The programmatic lessons learned in 2015 include;
Coordination with Government: Closer and improved engagement with the department of National Treasury and DIRCO is key to improve government/UNDP programme quality, coordination, monitoring, reporting and delivery.
Reinforcing Country Office (CO) Capacity: Finding ways to optimise use of nationally available capacities/expertise through partnership with key stakeholders including research institutions, institutes of higher learning and think tanks have been critical in enabling the CO to deliver upstream policy advice in various areas of the programme including land reform, industrial research, and social protection.
UN Joint Collaboration: South Africa as an Upper Middle Income Country (MIC) requires the UN system, led by the UNDP, to strategically position itself to provide upstream policy and advisory services by undertaking policy influencing joint programming initiatives.
Resource Mobilization: The CO recognizes the importance of diversifying the resource base especially from government cost-sharing and private sector sources.
The 2016 Annual Workplan continues to commit the Country Office to reposition the public sector to support government’s developmental agenda; support national processes and institutions in their efforts towards inclusive growth; support the building of institutional capacities and expand local knowledge base for sustainable development and South Africa’s strategic objective of building a better Africa, and better World.
