UN System in Yemen

UN Country Team in Yemen

 

UNDP works with the entire UN System in Yemen through a number of mechanisms.

I. The heads of UNDP and all other UN agencies in Yemen form the UN Country Team (UNCT), which joins to coordinate development assistance at a programmatic level through regular meetings and the development of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF). This framework enables the UN to act as one in supporting Yemen’s development priorities.

Technical and managerial oversight of programmes is then managed through the UN Core Group (UNCG).

II. Based on the mandates, direction and supervision of the UNCT, UNDP engages in various cross cutting thematic groups and taskforces including:
 


• UN Joint Team on AIDS;

• UN Humanitarian Country Team (UNHCT);

• UN Operations Management Team (OMT);

• Harmonized Approach to Cash Transfers (HACT) Task Force; and

• UNDAF Outcome Group. The UNDAF Outcome Group monitors the implementation of programmes on the UNDAF and works on joint programming. The group consists of four sub-groups working in the areas of:

- Governance;
- Gender;
- Population and Basic Social Services; and
- Pro-poor economic growth.

The new UNDAF (2012-2015) targets the vulnerable population and is geared to support acceleration of MDG progress using Human Rights Based Approach, mainstreaming conflict prevention and promoting interface between humanitarian and development. The four UNDAF priority areas are: (1) Inclusive & Diversified Economic Growth with a Social Dividend; (2)Sustainable/Equitable Access to quality BSS to Accelerate progress on MDGs; (3) Women & Youth Empowerment, and (4)Good Governance & Social Cohesion.
The Donor Forum meeting is held monthly.

III. UNDP engages directly with other UN agencies (either bilaterally or multilaterally) on joint and/or parallel programmes and projects. For example, UNDP worked with FAO, ILO, UNICEF, UN Millennium Project, WFP and WHO on a joint project to support the development of MDG-based policy and planning in Yemen. UNDP is also currently working with UNICEF and UNFPA to develop human rights based approaches to programming and implementation of the UNDAF.

IV. Yemen’s UNDP Resident Representative serves as the Resident Coordinator and UNDP hosts the Office of the Resident Coordinator and accompanying staff.

V. UNDP participates and engages with the larger donor community through bilateral and multilateral meetings and initiatives in relation to Yemen’s development concerns and priorities, as well as through the bi-monthly Donor Forum Meeting for UN agencies and Donor Governments / Organizations.
