This approach will facilitate cross learning, local networks, capacity of research networks to promote energy management, sustainable energy development and enhancement of its utilization. It will also contribute to scaling up of demonstration projects, including adoption and transferal of environmentally sound technologies to communities and SMEs. Support will also be provided at regional level for the formulation of ‘upstream’ development plans which identify longer term growth opportunities, economic development priorities and policy interventions, uniting key government agencies, international donor organizations and, where appropriate, CSOs and private sector representatives within a common framework for action. The coordination and programme modalities to pursue this UNDAF outcome will support the Government in meeting international commitments in the field of human rights including the rights of the child and refugees, environment and sustainable development and integrating them into national development policy and planning. In close cooperation with the Global Environment Facility, the UNDAF will also assist the Government and local communities in preserving biodiversity, promoting sustainable land management and introducing new technologies for the use of renewable energy. The UN Resident Coordinator System will be the main coordination modality to ensure that human rights concerns are addressed at interagency level, especially to support the Government in the finalization of the National Action Plan against Torture and integrate HR concerns in UN programming. In addition, joint UN activities will be coordinated through the UNDAF Joint Action Plan and the Monitoring and Evaluation Plan which operationalize the coordination modalities described above.
