9. 2 main ongoing reforms, with common underlying elements Humanitarian Reform UN reform of operational activities for development Improve effectiveness Improve accountability Enhance national ownership Improve coordination More strategic country plans Enhance coherence and partnership Doing more with what we have Culture change and changing attitudes

10. Why reforms? UN reform ( UNDG ): Different country needs (no one size fits all). Countries expect the UN to provide specialized policy advice and develop capacity, rather than implementing scores of small projects. While the UN’s role in global norm-setting is not in doubt, its viability as a major actor on the ground is in question. The international aid architecture has changed. A bigger share of aid is going directly to governments’ budgets, to vertical funds and to small NGOs. Humanitarian reform ( IASC ): Humanitarian emergencies more complex and frequent More actors engaging in humanitarian action Increase in conflicts within rather than between states Increasing numbers of internally- displaced persons (IDPs) Impacts of climate change Food price increases and resulting vulnerabilities Security implications of food crises Financial crisis

11. UN Reform (“Delivering as One” and QCPR) Main areas to which FAO contributes UN programming (UNDAF) Harmonized and simplified tools and procedures Resident Coordinator System Joint funding mechanisms Humanitarian Reform Empowered leadership of humanitarian coordinator Consolidated Appeals and Flash appeals Stronger and more strategic coordination Ensure funds are spent efficiently & with greater accountability
