Improved management of financial and human resources in pursuit of results
2022 is the first year of China CO to operate as a full-fledged country office since Delegation of Authority was granted in Oct 2021. The office established internal control measures and standardized operating procedures (SOP) for each business stream, ensured smooth transition and full adherence to UN Women’s standards for business operations. Among the SOPs developed for each business stream, the office also established the first ever China office local project appraisal committee (LPAC) for Pro Docu review and approval and partner agreement selection approval within Delegation of Authority (DoA) threshold. In 2022, UN Women China office maintained effective management on its financial resources and other resources with accountability, efficiency and transparency. The office developed effective monitoring tool to closely monitor financial resources planning, allocation, budgeting, commitment and expenditure. The office effectively implemented total planned budget of $3.5 million for the year of 2022 from regular resources and other resources, with total delivery rate at 91% and budget utilization rate at 100%. The office exercised rigid and standardized review and verification for all financial transactions to ensure fully abide by corporate financial rules and regulations. Moreover, the office strictly followed the requirements on monthly checklist to verify the indicators for all categories on financial management and project management are achieved. With quality assurance in place, the office has achieved targets for key performance indicators in 2022. Besides, the office has one Responsible Partner (RP) was included in UN Women's partner audit plan. The final audit opinion is unqualified opinion without any findings. Moreover, the office doesn’t have outstanding internal audit recommendations. To further strengthen cash transfer management to the RPs to ensure the entrusted fund from UN Women China office is properly utilized, the office organized two tailored clinical training to the existing two RPs in Aug on Fund Authorization and Certification of Expenditure (FACE) submission and UN Women's requirements on mandatory documentation review. The training built mutual understanding between the RPs and UN Women, and strengthened capacity of the RPs in FACE preparation and supporting documentation submission, and therefore increased efficiency and effectiveness of cash management to the RPs. The office ensured services and supplies available for smooth operations. Besides, the office implemented accessibility improvement plan based on accessibility assessment report which was led by UN Disability Theme Group (UNDTG), and UN Women China office was selected as best practice and shared experiences in UN Operations Management Team (UNOMT). China office has set up a solid business continuity plan (BCP) and contingency plan for remote working set-up when required, and exercises maximum flexibility for all staff to be accountable to their work whilst managing personal lives in the current challenging environment. In line with the duty of care, the office has invested in team building activities, daily stretch for all staff as part of promoting exercise/wellbeing and encouraging all staff to participate in the regional office led mental health wellbeing programmes. The office has 100% compliance rate in Business Continuity and Crisis Management (BCCMA). We are also fully compliant with the requirements under Security Risk Management (SRM) China. The office has warden system and emergency telephone tree in place and regularly updated. Moreover, to improve the staff skill in emergency situation, the office organized First Aid Training in Aug 2022. With UN Women China office transited from project office to a full-fledged country office, the office reclassified one core position contractual modality and upgraded one core position in line with the organization’s corporate staffing structure and ensured the office has adequate core staff to perform the critical functions. In 2022 the office timely recruited three new service contract staff members, fifteen consultants, four new UNVs, four interns and processed contract amendments for existing contract holders to ensure full human resource capacity in place to deliver UN Women mandates. The average time in recruiting different categories of contract types have been greatly shortened, i.e. FTA 3.2 months, SC 1.7 months, UNV and Interns 1.5 months. The office established Staff Learning and Team Building Committee to maintain an inclusive, empowering and engaging working environment, which consists of a variety of team members incl. operations staff, HR, young consultant and intern, and project managers etc. The committee conducted needs assessment survey in the beginning of the year to promote participatory decision-making process and to better understand staff learning needs. Based on the survey results and in line with the planned activities in 2022 work plan, the office organized a broad range of team building activities and training sessions, which further enhanced solidarity and inspired a sense of joyfulness in working together and strengthened staff capacity in increasing efficiency and effectiveness. Besides, experiences shared in brown bag sessions also strengthened bonds among teams and the three informal meetings planned in a year between supervisors and team members further built trust among the teams to better support each other to achieve results.
