Why Global Programme? We are much stronger and effective when we pull together our expertise and experiences at global, regional and country levels
Global Thematic Priorities for 2010-2013 • Climate Change-Our work with UN-REDD • UNCAC review mechanism: Training of reviewing and countries to be reviewed, UNDP niche national dialogue ( Going Beyond the Minimum) • Anti-Corruption for MAF: Work in sectors and civil society monitoring, etc. • AC in post-conflict and recovery contexts • Illicit financial flows • Anti-corruption campaign
1. Mitigating Corruption Risks in Climate Change (in the context of REDD+): Awareness and Knowledge; Multi-Stakeholder Engagement; Capacity Development
2. Support to UNCAC implementation • To date, 150 parties; each party has to go through the UNCAC review • UNDP approach: Prepare the country for review mechanism but encourages broad national stakeholder consultations and going beyond the minimum requirements
3a. Anti-Corruption in Sectors: “Creating the Missing Middle” • Addressing corruption vulnerabilities in specific sectors helps improve service delivery (removing corruption bottlenecks) • Depoliticization of problem; contextualized use of tools provides concrete evidence on gaps for policy makers • Exiting tools, methodologies, good practices: What we found? • Next steps: country level interventions
3b. Strengthening Civil Society and Media --Involving civil society to monitor government expenditures (e.g.,–India, Bolivia, Uganda, Zambia) -- Empowering community to monitor and improve services (India, Nigeria, Kenya, the Philippines) --Training for CSOs on reporting and monitoring corruption (e.g., with UNECA) --Training on investigative journalism – South-South Cooperation (MISA, PCIJ)
Strengthening Anti-Corruption Capacities in Post-Conflict and Recovery Context : Securing peace and stability vs. fighting corruption Advisory support Strengthening internal capacities Coordination and harmonization (Iraq and Afghanistan) Mainstreaming AC on governance and other initiatives (e.g., DRC) .
4. Illicit Financial Flows: Hidden Resource for Development Resources lost from the illicit financial flows are more than enough to fund the resources estimated for meeting the MDGs; but discussion so far is up-scaling resources not preventing leakages
Changing Environment: Governance/AC not Just a Monopoly of UNDP • New players on Governance, WB, UNCEF, OECD etc. Hence partnership particularly with UNODC more important (CoSP). Decision in BKK for joint COPs, joint fundraising with AUSAid, WG meetings, etc. • Donors changing and working in fewer priority countries and working with UNDP as a partner (e.g., GIZ, NORAD, CIDA) hence the division of funder and implementer getting blurred
The Role of the Regional Centres and of the Country Offices from the Global Perspective • Regional Centres: Strengthen practice architecture; synchronize workplan with COs workplan (Yes, priority one is country level support to see what impact UNDP is making) • Country Offices: • Take a lead on UNDP’s areas of comparative advantages (e.g., preventive measures, capacity development, engagement with CSO and media; sectoral approach, etc); identify entry points (PACDE contributes the seed money) • Increase access to knowledge products, translations, portals, e-discussions, etc. • Reporting for impact: Presenting a coherent view hence need to rationalize reporting at national level (ROAR)
