United Nations Development Group unite and deliver effective support for countries
UNDAF Guidance Materials

The UNDAF is the strategic programme framework that describes the collective response of the UN system to national development priorities. The General Assembly, in the 2007 triennial comprehensive policy review of operational activities for development of the United Nations system (TCPR), encourages the UN development system to intensify its collaboration at the country and regional levels towards strengthening national capacities, in support of national development priorities, through the common country assessment, when required, and the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF). It recognizes the potential of the UNDAF and its results matrix as the collective, coherent and integrated programming and monitoring framework for country-level contributions.

This page aims to provide UN Country Teams with all existing UNDAF guidance materials and tools for developing a quality UNDAF.  For more information, guidance and tools on the five programming principles please see the site on UN Country Programming Principles.  For examples of UNDAF documents, please visit: www.undg.org/undafexamples.

For UNDAF roll-out related resources by the Regional UNDG Teams please refer to the following pages: Asia & Pacific, Arab States, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe & CIS.
