Mozambique One UN Fund

Overview

The vision for Delivering as One in Mozambique is of a unified United Nations presence, which speaks, acts, and delivers as one. The overall goal of Delivering as One in Mozambique is to ensure the delivery of concrete results in support of the national development objectives and priorities by a more coherent, better coordinated, funded and managed UN. The Delivering as One: One UN Operational Plan for the UN System in Mozambique, 2007-2009 is based on the "Four Ones":

One Programme: focusing on a sub-set of selected, strategic UNDAF outputs highlighting joint programmes. Strategic inclusiveness in One Programme focuses on the contribution of all UN agencies, specialised and non-specialised, resident and non-resident in areas of UN comparative advantage to achieve greater impact in the context of Mozambique development priorities and of the new aid environment;.

One Leader: an empowered and accountable Resident Coordinator, with the competencies and authority to guide the development and management of the UN in Mozambique and speak with one voice on behalf of the UN and supporting Agency representatives leading agency specific representation in-country, while exploring opportunities for clustering of representation where more effective and efficient. This is the "Cabinet Model", with the RC acting as the "Prime Minister" and the UN Country Team members acting as the "ministers";

One Budgetary Framework and One Fund: consolidating all contributions to support a coherent and joint resource mobilisation, allocation and disbursement of donor resources to the UNDAF and the Delivering as One UN Operational Plan;

• One Budgetary Framework The UN Country Team has agreed that the One Budgetary Framework will be a consolidation of core and unmarked funds (RR and OR) assigned to the common set of outcomes around which UN agencies unify to deliver all results as identified in the UNDAF 2007-2009, including the focus thematic areas and joint programmes highlighted as part of the One Programme. The One Budgetary Framework therefore provides an overview of the total programme resource availability and requirements for the cycle.
• One Fund The objective of the Mozambique One UN Fund, under the management and leadership of the Government and the UN Resident Coordinator, is to support the coherent resource mobilization, allocation and disbursement of new donor resources to unfunded elements of the One UN Programme and to support new initiatives responding to emerging needs within the context of the One UN Programme.

One Management System; a results-based management system, with integrated support services, under which all agencies share joint premises and common services, wherever cost-efficient, with an aim to ensure efficient and effective delivery of operations support for programmatic activities of all agencies in the country. This arrangement ensures that cooperative arrangements are in place to build on synergies and maximise the use of available capacities and infrastructure.

The UNDP MDTF Office has been appointed the Administrative Agent of the Mozambique One UN Fund.
