Tanzania One UN Fund

Overview

Following the request by the Government, Tanzania was announced as a UN reform pilot country in January 2007. Through the development of a single framework for the UN's activities in support of the Government's development priorities (in accordance with the Joint Assistance Strategy for Tanzania and with commitment to the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness), members of the United Nations Development Group in Tanzania prepared "The UN Working Together in Tanzania - One UN Programme (2007 - 2008)" which was signed on 10 October 2007.

With One UN leader, One UN programme, One UN budgetary framework and One office, the UN in Tanzania expects to deliver better results that make a difference in the lives of the poor and most vulnerable.

The objective of the Tanzania 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.

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