Uruguay One UN Coherence Fund

Overview

The Government of Uruguay and the UN organizations in Uruguay have developed, "The One UN Programme 2007-2010. Building capacities for development between the Government of Uruguay and the United Nations System in Uruguay", signed on 19 October 2007.

The One UN Programme is based on both a Human Rights and a Human Development approach steering the delivery of the UN as a more coherent system, and of each of its Agencies at the national, regional and global level.

To support the One UN Programme, the UN organizations in Uruguay have agreed to establish a common development fund, the Uruguay One UN Coherence Fund, under the leadership of the Resident Coordinator. The Uruguay One UN Coherence Fund will support the coordinated resource mobilization, allocation and disbursement of donor-contributed resources for the unfunded elements of the One UN Programme.

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