Notes on the Outcome 2/ Joint Programme implementation

- The UNTP 2008-2009 description for sub-outcome 1 refers to “selected” local governments, identified as 50% of the total district and regional councils.
- Based on the total of 98 districts and 18 regions in all of Somalia, 18 districts that are regional capitals are defined as ‘urban’. Thus 80 districts are rural. 50% of urban
districts, rural districts and regional councils are to be covered in years 2008-2009. All should be covered by end of 2012 as far as conditions permit.
- Identification of districts and roll-out of the Joint Programme to those districts will be guided by the strategy detailed in Annex VI of the Joint Programme Document. All
participating UN organisations – ILO, UNCDF, UNDP, UN-HABITAT and UNICEF – will engage in integrated work planning in order to enhance delivery and impact.
- The Joint Programme will be implemented according to Programme-level Annual Work Plans and area-specific work plans for South-Central Somalia, Puntland and
Somaliland.
- Monitoring, review and evaluation will be undertaken according to a Programme Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, Plan and System. An Annual Review will be
undertaken in the last quarter of each calendar year, a mid-term review of the first phase of the Joint Programme will be conducted in the last quarter of 2009 and an
outcome evaluation will be planned for mid-2011.

Notes on the budget

 Due to close internal links between the 5 Outcomes of the UNTP, the participating UN Agencies are yet to define whether the bulk of basic
service delivery (health, education and water) will be funded under the Outcome 4 (Children, youth and vulnerable groups have increased
access to quality education and health services) or this Outcome 2. In the case they remain under this Outcome, the budget of the Output
2.1. will be US$ 35.7 m.
 The draft 5 of the Joint Programme document (dated 23 Aug 2007) indicated the total budget of the Output 2.2. as US$37.8 m. This was
incorrect since as an oversight the 5 year budget of the entire Joint Programme (LDF focused) was transferred to this Phase resource
framework. The correct resource needs for the Output 2.2 for the initial phase 1 (2008-2009) totals at US$15.2 m.
 The Programme Co-ordination Unit will be factored into the Programme-level Annual Work Plans and not in this results and resources
framework.
 The programme support costs for the participating UN organisations will be spread across the 4 sub-outcomes and will be detailed in the
Annual Work Plans.

The Joint Programme partners are confident that over 50 % of the programme resource needs for the Phase 1 – the first 2 years - are in the
pipeline. This is based on the positive indications given by a number of donors, including the European Commission, USAID, the Government
of Japan and the Royal Norwegian Embassy. In addition, substantial UN core funding from UNDP and UNCDF is secured. UNDP is committed
to cover part of the costs of the core agency staff, where needed, for the first 6 months, starting from 1 st January 2008, as to ensure continuity
of ongoing activities.
