In 2002, the Secretary General’s Agenda for Further Changecalled for more joint programmes and pooling of resources at country level. Joint programming captures much of what is described in the CCA-UNDAF guidelines – the UNCT working together with partners to: strengthen country analysis; influence national priorities; and respond to those priorities as one system. A joint programme or project is a next possible step. It should happen where UN agencies, with national partners and donors, see clear gains in effectiveness and efficiency from combining their efforts and resources in a common work plan and budget. The work plan and budget forms part of a joint programme document, which also provides details about roles and responsibilities of partners in coordinating and managing the joint activities. The joint programme document is signed by all participating organizations and national or sub-national partners. A completed UNDAF results matrix is the usual starting point for identifying potential joint programmes or projects.

Joint Programming
The following note provides common definitions for programming processes and products, as well as current examples of programming products. The note and examples were distributed under a covering letter from the Heads of the UNDG ExCom Agencies to all United Nations Resident Coordinators on 2 March 1999. The common terminology intended to ensure a consistent approach to programme development by the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) organizations, as well as in our relationships with other development partners - government, bilateral donors, other United Nations agencies, civil society organizations, etc. - who should be encouraged to use these definitions when participating in collaborative efforts.
