The D-JAM began in June 2006, mandated in the Darfur Peace Agreement (DPA), to identify key early recovery and long term reconstruction and development needs for Darfur. The D-JAM process is led by the parties, GNU and SLM, with support from the international community, particularly the United Nations and the World Bank, and the African Development Bank (AfDB).

A “multi-track” approach has been adopted, based on two mutually re-enforcing tracks. The first track (Track I) focuses on immediate priority needs for IDPS and refugees who return to areas of choice and re-establish their livelihoods. The second track (Track II) focuses on post-conflict economic recovery, reconstruction and development needs to reach the Millennium Development Goals. Urgent priorities in Darfur, agreed by the parties in the D-JAM, are focused on restoring peace, security and social stability; establishing the physical, institutional and social infrastructure required by IDPs, refugees and conflict-affected Darfuris to re-establish their livelihoods; and strengthening civil administration to perform their basic functions. Initial recovery efforts should lay the foundation for, and speed up the transition from, relief to development.

The Sudan JAM (2004-2005) provided an assessment of rehabilitation and transitional recovery needs for 2006-2007 and outlined a framework for reconstruction and recovery through 2010. The JAM was co-led by the UN and WB, working in partnership with the Sudanese parties and the IGAD Partners Forum for Peace (IPF). The JAM produced the Framework for Sustained Peace, Development and Poverty Eradication, which was presented at the Oslo Donors’ Conference on Sudan in April 2005.

The Haiti Interim Cooperation Framework (ICF) began in April 2004, co-led by the United Nations and the World Bank and with support from the European Commission and the Inter-American Development Bank with the Interim Government to provide the basis for a carefully costed and coordinated national reconstruction and development program covering both short and medium-term priority needs over a two-year period. The assessment built on the March 2004 multi-disciplinary rapid assessment mandated by UN Security Council Resolution 1529 to evaluate security, humanitarian, and transitional needs. The ICF was based on the broad themes of the Interim Government’s vision, which included a national reconciliation process involving all components of society and political dialogue. The Interim Government also committed itself to organizing local, legislative and presidential elections in 2005 and to restoring macroeconomic stability.

The ICF document articulated a transitional strategy for national recovery in Haiti covering a two-year period from July 2004 to September 2006. (Later extended until 30th September 2007.) The ICF set out priority needs, clear targets and financial requirements through the Transitional Results Framework. The ICF was also meant to serve as a basis for development of a longer-term strategy as a result of its high level of national ownership and multi-dimensional nature.
