Participating UN Organizations

United Nations agencies that formulate project proposals to be submitted for funding under the Tanzania One UN Fund are required to sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the UN Resident Coordinator and the UNDP MDTF Office as the Administrative Agent. The MOU sets out the duties and responsibilities of each party. The entities that sign the MOU are referred to as "Participating UN Organizations".

Participating UN Organizations assume financial accountability for the funds disbursed to them by the Administrative Agent on the instruction of Managing Agents and the Resident Coordinator based on the fund allocation decisions of the Joint Steering Committee.

Non-UN entities that have similar international character and financial rules and regulations as Participating UN Organizations may be permitted, following a proper assessment of their institutional financial accountability framework, to participate in the Tanzania One UN Fund and receive funds directly from the Administrative Agent (AA). In this case, they will sign a separate Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the AA, and are referred to as Non-UN Participating Organizations. Non-UN Participating Organizations assume the same programmatic and financial accountability for the funds disbursed to them by the AA as Participating UN Organizations, and are required to provide reports on its activities, as described in the separate MOU. Each Non-UN Participating Organization will recover its indirect costs under the same terms and conditions as Participating UN Organizations.

Through a Participating UN Organization or a Non-UN Participating Organization, other international organizations, non-governmental organizations and national entities may receive funds from the Tanzania One UN Fund based on a project agreement concluded, as an implementing partner, with the Participating UN Organization in accordance with the regulations, rules and procedures of the latter.

The following Participating UN Organizations and Non-UN Participating Organization have signed the MOU with the Resident Coordinator and the Administrative Agent:
