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: UNDAF Roll-out List, Asia & Pacific, Arab States, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe & CIS. |

UNDG/ECHA Guidance Note on Natural Resource Management (NRM) in Transition Settings
January 2013
The Guidance Note has been produced by a Task Team within the UN Development Group (UNDG) and the Executive Committee for Humanitarian Affairs (ECHA). It helps UN Country Teams and UN Missions to understand the positive and negative roles that natural resources can play in peace consolidation. It provides practical guidance on how to feed in to transitional analysis and planning frameworks including: Post Conflict Needs Assessment (PCNA), Integrated Mission Planning Process (IMPP), peace building frameworks and tools, the UN Common Country Analysis (CCA) and the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF). The guidance provides diagnostic tools to assist in deciding where and when natural resource management issues need to be addressed, how this can be done, what types of roles the UN can take on, and how the UN can support other actors.
