ambitious - focus on strategic sub-set
of achievable results
• Should not be “fund-driven”
One Programme (cont.)

Governance, Human Capital, HIV/AIDS, Economic Development
• All UN agencies are committed to the achievement of the full
UNDAF
One Programme: the Operational Framework
Aims to:
• Ensure attainment of all the results contained in the UNDAF, and
• Pave the way for a reformed UN under the next cycle, by focusing
on a strategic sub-set of UNDAF outputs that best illustrate the

of comparative advantage and focus on selected UNDAF
outputs
• Focus on joint programmes under the selected outputs
that reflect a combination of the four focus areas and
demonstrate how the UN family will work together more
coherently and effectively in these four areas to achieve
results
• All joint programmes selected in line with key
principles…
One Programme (cont.)
Principles for the selection of joint programmes
The programme should:
• include a combination of the • have a direct relationship to
four priority areas of support the PARPA II and should have
