DaO Mozambique: background and timeline

Mozambique One UN FundPurposes

RCO Mozambique

From the One UN Operational Plan:

“A Delivering as One UN Fund will be established with a two-fold objective:

(a) Bridging the funding gap in joint programmes: to support the coherent resource mobilization, allocation and disbursement of donor resources to the joint programmes (…); and

(b) Supporting the change management process: to provide support to specific Change Management initiatives (…)”

Mozambique One UN FundSet-up

Resource mobilization:

Pass-through modality

UNDP as Administrative Agent (AA)

Through a joint resource mobilization strategy, developed and supported by the UNCT (including the RC, as One Leader) to “strategically leverage funds”.

With signed LoA between the AA and donors

With signed MoU between the AA and UN participating agencies

Mozambique One UN FundFurther allocations: performance-based

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.

 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.

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.

+: agencies can concentrate on implementation- : implementation rate may suffer of the reduced funds predictability

With an MDTF:

+: increased programme visibility+: added value for small agencies, that have scarce administrative capacity
