One Programme Vision: one common programme of support to the national development agenda, inclusive of the contribution of all UN agencies, which is aligned with national priorities and supports attainment of national and international development goals The One Programme: • • • Should demonstrate the ability of the UN to adapt to the DBS environment Should be realistic and not be too ambitious - focus on strategic sub-set of achievable results Should not be “fund-driven”

Key Principles for Joint Programmes • The joint programmes (JPs) under the selected outputs should reflect a combination of the four focus areas and demonstrate how the UN family will work together more coherently and effectively in these four areas to achieve results • the JPs should build on existing activities/programmes; • the JPs should, as far as possible, fall under one primary UNDAF pillar; • the JPs should address a number of UNDAF outputs selected as priority outputs of the One Programme • the JPs should, in principle and to the extent possible, be at least one third funded; • the JPs should include three or more agencies.
