Effective normative, operational and coordination products, services and processes

The CO has managed to maintain at least 30% of its programmes as joint programmes. UN Women is well positioned to provide technical assistance to the UNCT as evidenced through its leadership of the UNCT Swap Gender Score Card and technical coherance for the Spotlight Initiative. In phase 2, the Resident Coordinator transferred all staff previously working under the RCO to a programme management unit within UN Women. For its own delivery of programmes, the office has used a system of close follow up of actions between programme and operations staff using a weekly acceleration meeting which identifies and resolves bottlenecks timely. For donor reporting, the use of an outlook based reminder to reporting focal points has complemented the reminders sent through DAMS. The CO managed to submit all except one donor report on time. Quality of reporting has been a challenge due to staff and partner capacity gaps in results reporting. This will be an area for improvement in 2023.
