Realignment of TGs in line with UNDAF outcomes • Reviewed the draft TG guidelines by DGO and self-assessment of TGs by Chairs at the UNCT meeting in March. • Developed a draft basic principles for TGs in China and reviewed at the UNCT meeting in April. • Will agree upon the continuation or establishment of TGs according to the agreed basic principles at the UNCT Retreat in May.
Draft basic principles for continuation or establishment of TGs/TFs in China • Close link with the UNDAF outcomes or cross-cutting themes, i.e) gender, equity or global conventions and norms • Clear objectives, outputs and products, i.e) Joint Assessment with the Government, etc • Chairs (HOAs) who have strong commitment and leadership and have capability to ensure achievement of TG objectives and workplans • Secretariat which provides strong support in implementing workplans and in coordinating activities
How the UNDAF Process added value to JPO’s own work and learning • For UNFPA JPO colleagues, the CCA/UNDAF process was a typical example of “learning by doing”. • Information/ideas exchange with other agencies senior programme officers/deputies/HOAs • Great experience to know how the UN Country Team is working together and the links between its own agency’s Country Programme and the UNDAF outcomes. • Brainstorming and in-depth thinking about UNDAF outcomes, agency outcomes and outputs (RBM)
How JPOs/NPOs could add value to CCA/UNDAF process • JPOs can more contribute to the process in providing detailed inputs and data rather than in the political negotiations among the UNCT. • JPOs in small agencies have more chances to participate in the process. Eg) JPO in UNIDO (only HOA, JPO and national staff) was a member of the deputies group. Lessons learned • Empowerment- Some JPOs felt the support from HOA/deputies helped their more active participation in the process.
