This document was produced by a UNDG inter-agency task team supporting the Delivering as One pilot countries on programming issues in response to requests from several pilot countries for guidance on common reporting. The pilot countries indicated that they would like to avoid the dual reporting burden, having to report both to agency HQ and having to report jointly on the One Programme. The Task Team inventoried the existing guidance and formats that could be used to streamline and simplify common reporting, but also concluded that bypassing agency reporting requirements at this stage encounters difficulties at the HQ level. The note is meant to assist pilot country teams in simplifying their joint reporting within the existing constraints, and the note also lists a number of the obstacles that would require HQ discussion in order to move towards common reporting in the future.

This document summarizes the discussions held at a dedicated meeting of the UNDG inter-agency Task Team on One Programme to discuss lessons and trends coming out of the Delivering as One pilot countries related to programming. Based on the discussion, the document lists a number of recommendations for enhancement of guidance on the common country programming process for future discussion at HQ level.

An inventarisation of issues arising in the drafting of One Programme documents by the 8 Delivering as One pilot countries. The matrix, drafted by the UNDG Working Group on Programming Policies to support the development of One Programmes in the pilots, tries to capture issues and questions arising and provides links to existing guidance and advice by the Working Group on these issues. The matrix will also include lessons learned at a later stage. Work in progress.

Note on Programming Issues related to the development of One Programme in the 8 Delivering as One pilot countries. Produced by the UNDG Working Group on Programming Policies in July 2007 to support the pilot countries in their development of One Programme. The note is a draft that serves as a thinking tool, not a formal document.

Updated version of the 2007 CCA/UNDAF guidelines approved by UNDG on 29 January 2009 and disseminated to UNCTs in February 2009.

Note on possible benchmarks for assessing the quality and achievements of the One Programmes developed by the 8 Delivering as One pilot countries. This note was produced by the UNDG Working Group on Programming POlicies in July 2007 as a draft to provide support to the pilot countries in the development of their One Programmes. The document is a thinking tool and does not represent formal guidance.
