Funding arrangements Consultation with the Executive Board 30 April 2013
Outline • Resources Allocation System • Global and Regional Programme
Current resource allocation system:Key issues • Indicators out of sync with the current strategic direction • Current resource allocation not adequately focused on needs • Allocation of resources not aligned to UNFPA interventions • Current system not optimizing impact • Current system not well suited to humanitarian crises and other emerging threats and opportunities • Leaving the current system unchanged except for updating indicator data would result in a challenging situation
Process flow vs. 2007 #4 #3 #2 #1 • Define need indicators • Group countries into coherent categories Establish resource shares per group • Set final country planning figures 2007 RAS #6 #5 #4 #3 #1 #2 2013 proposal • Define need indicators • Set indicator weights • Calculate indicative allocations based on need • Group countries into coherent categories • Establish resource shares per group • Set final country planning figures

1. Defining need indicators Amend Retain Retain Amend Amend Drop Add Drop • Additional factors: • Fragility and risk for humanitarian crises • Income inequality Drop
2. Setting indicator weights • Additional factors: • Fragility and risk for humanitarian crises (10) • Income inequality (5)
2. Setting indicator weightsModes of engagement by setting A/P = Advocacy, policy dialogue/advice KM = Knowledge management CD = Capacity development SD = Service delivery * physical presence only in select countries
3. Calculating indicative allocations based on need • Current allocation to groups is based on historical precedent rather than epidemiological assessment • Revised approach • Allocate floor to all countries: $500,000 (other than exceptional circumstances) • For high/upper-middle income countries, phased in contributions: • Need score is starting point for allocations, adjusted by ability to finance and population
5. Establish resource shares per group6. Set final country planning figures • As in current system, individual country allocations set by Executive Board through Country Programme Documents to ensure flexibility and that CPDs are based on national contexts (e.g., through UNDAFs)
Additional elements • Develop system to assess performance of country offices • Increase size of Emergency Fund • From $3 million to $5 million • Create an Opportunities Fund, with two purposes: • Provide funding for innovation and emerging opportunities • Strengthen culture of innovation throughout organization
Ways in which proposed changes respond to challenges identified
Changes for 2014-2017 • “Unpack” the GRP to ensure that costs are in line with new cost classification categories (e.g., by shifting management and development effectiveness costs out) • Integrate the GRP more fully into the Strategic Plan: • Build programme into Strategic Plan rather than treating as a standalone • Include GRP results in the Integrated Results Framework
