Participating UN Organizations

Memorandum of Understanding | List of Participating UN Organizations

United Nations Organizations that participate in the MDG-F funded joint programmes must sign a standard Memorandum of Understanding ((MOU) with the UNDP MDTF Office, as the Administrative Agent (AA) of the MDG-F. The MOUs are signed by the organizations' headquarters. The UN organizations that have signed this MOU are referred to as "Participating UN Organizations".

Each Participating UN Organization assumes full financial and programmatic accountability for the funds disbursed to it by the AA and for the implementation of its part of the joint programme, and provides financial and narrative progress reports on its activities, as described in the MOU.

Each Participating UN Organization will recover its indirect costs of implementing its part of the joint programme by charging 7% of the approved budget, as specified in the MOU signed with the AA.

Further information on the Participating UN Organizations that have signed an MOU with UNDP as AA as well as specific information on reporting requirements and indirect costs, is available through this web site and/or through the MDTF Office.
