A. BACKGROUND & CONTEXT Since 1994, South Africa has enjoyed a peaceful transition from a system of apartheid to an inclusive and participatory democracy. This has been accompanied by: (i) A strong human rights based Constitution; (ii) Commitment to multilateral agreements, regional integration, peace and human development; and (iii) Sustained economic growth.

Despite the laudable efforts, poverty and unemployment, HIV/AIDS pandemic, institutional and human resources capacity development, and social and physical infrastructural development continue to pose a major challenge to the country. In fact, the key challenge has been to reduce inequality in all forms of its manifestation. In order to achieve this goal: (i) Various innovative policies, strategies, and programs have been formulated and are under implementation; and (ii) New institutions have been set up while existing ones have been recalibrated and strengthened.

In its 2010/2011 Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF), identified the following key development challenges and priorities: (i) inclusive growth that promotes livelihoods and decent jobs; (ii) socio economic infrastructure; (iii) rural development (including food security and land reform); (iv) access to quality education; (v) improved basic health; (vi) fight against crime and corruption; (vii) cohesive community; (viii) sustainable resources management and use; (ix) a development state; and (x) creation of a better Africa and better world.

Regarding the country’s collaboration with the UN, there has been a growing concern that UN operations in South Africa should reflect more strategically and effectively the country’s status as an upper middle income country and provide better value added, rather than simply follow a ‘business as usual’ model. This led to the commissioning of a Joint GoSA and UN evaluation (‘the UNEG Evaluation’) was finalized in 2009. The report found that the UN partnership with South Africa should reflect the country’s needs and aspirations as a major emerging economy, a development partner for fellow African countries, and an important player on the international scene including in global negotiations on issues such as non-proliferation, trade and climate change. The Letter of Intent signed between the UNDP Administrator and the South African Foreign Minister in May 2010 to strengthen strategic partnership between the country and UNDP represented a first step in UNDP’s response to this task. The programme areas identified in this document are designed to facilitate upstream engagement between the government and UNDP. Ongoing programme activities with signed documents will continue until their completion through 2011 while those activates which are in line with the new strategic direction will be subsumed in the 2012 Annual Work Plan.

B. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

The three programme areas and two cross cutting issues contained in the 2011 AWP require the involvement of multiple stakeholders (Departments and other national institutions) with diverse requirements of expertise, different implementation schedule and duration. This requires some adjustments to the traditional approach to project management to respond to target departments/institutions needs and requirements on a timely basis with a minimum transaction cost. The adjustment should fully take into account the accountability parameters contained in the UNDP internal control framework and the government’s rules and procedures governing the utilization and management of external technical support.



Based on the AWP, an MOU will be prepared with relevant lead departments with detailed activities, budget, and timeline.

TORs for the expertise required to provide advisory services for each programme area will be prepared with the relevant departments.

Special working arrangement will be made with relevant national knowledge institutions, UNDP-RSC and corporate entities, UN agencies (Joint Programmes) and other international centres of excellence to amplify the knowledge management component (exchange and codification of good practices) of the AWP.

There will be a single and well integrated communication and advocacy strategy for the AWP which should inform stakeholders the strategic nature of UNDP-GOSA collaboration around the three programmes on a regular basis.

C. PROGRAMME AREAS

PROGRAMME I: ENHANCING INCLUSIVE GROWTH

Purpose: To increase the participation of the poor in the growth process through stimulating rural development and expanding opportunities for youth employment; develop productive social protection schemes for inclusive growth; and build a developmental state for inclusive growth through development exchange with the global south and address blockages in service delivery.

E.- MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING ARRANGEMENTS

The general Assembly, in its resolution 47/199 of 22 December 1992, reiterated that national execution should be the norm for programmes and projects supported by the United Nations system. The Annual Work Plan (AWP) will be implemented through the National Execution Modality (NEX). This modality aims to achieve: (a) Greater national self reliance by effective use and enhancement of the management capabilities and technical expertise of national institutions and individuals; (b) Enhanced sustainability of development programmes and projects by increasing national and local ownership and commitment to development activities; and (c) Reduction of workload and integration with national programmes through greater use of appropriate national systems and procedures.

In light of the nature of the AWP, which involves multiple stakeholders/beneficiary institutions and in view of the transformation process of the UNDP-GoSA collaboration, the National Treasury, as the coordinating authority of the Official Development Assistance, will be the executing agency while implementation of specific programme activities will be undertaken through MOUs with partner institutions. This modality is selected to minimize transaction cost for the AWP implementation without compromising on accountability. In this regard, the following specific management arrangements will be followed:

A joint National Treasury/selected national departments/UNDP Programme Management Committee (PMC) will be established to provide overall guidance and oversight of programme implementation. The PMC will meet bi-annually.

The PMC will approve work programme with budgets for beneficiary institutions/entities on an annual basis or for the implementation period. The work programme will include the type of support required for a given activity and period in accordance with the road map laid down for the repositioning process of GoSA-UNDP collaboration;

The disbursement of funds by UNDP for agreed activities will be done in conformity with the National Execution Modality and UNDP rules and regulations

UNDP together with counterpart institutions will provide both narrative and financial reports on quarterly basis.

The implementation of the AWP will be monitored by the PMC against the deliverables contained in the document. Then MOU will specify targets and indicators for the agreed set of activities. UNDP will prepare an Annual Report in full consultation with the National Treasury and targeted beneficiary institutions, including annual Consolidated Financial Report. Preparation of quarterly progress report will be coordinated by the national Treasury and UNDP.
