1. Mozambique The United Nations At Work THE UN REFORM
Delivering as One Pilot Initiative in Mozambique
11 May 2009

2. Vision of the One UN in Mozambique
The vision of the One UN in Mozambique is of a unified United Nations presence, which acts, speaks and delivers as one
The overall goal of the One UN Initiative in Mozambique is to improve programme delivery and results in support of the national development agenda through a more coherent, better coordinated, funded and managed UN
These basic indicators gives us a good overview of current progress and challenges in Mozambique. As you see, Mozambique’s population is very young, with 10 million children accounting for half of the total population of 20 million. Around 70 per cent of Mozambicans live in rural areas, where the majority make a living from subsistence farming.
Mozambique’s income per capita is US$ 310, which is well below the sub-Saharan average of US$ 754. But since the end of the civil war in 1992, the country has emerged as one of Africa’s most successful examples of post conflict reconstruction and economic recovery. Between 1997 and 2003, economic growth averaged about 9 per cent, well above the continent’s average, and continues to grow.
Let’s look at some of these numbers in more detail.

3. One UN in Mozambique
One UN Operational Plan: overarching plan outlining the vision of the One UN Initiative in Mozambique and how it is to be operationalised through the five ones:
One Programme
One Budgetary Framework
One Leader
One Office and Common Services

4. 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”
Gains in child and maternal well-being have not been even across the country, and large numbers of children and women, especially those living in remote rural areas are at a disadvantage. Many young children die at home before reaching a health clinic or hospital because parents are not informed or do not have easy access to medical services. Another challenge is the limited access to health facilities. More than half of Mozambicans live one hour or more on foot from the nearest health clinic. There are only 600 doctors in the whole of Mozambique.
Children’s lives can be saved if communities know how to protect children’s health and well-being. When children fall ill, it is critical that families bring them to health facilities in time and that children receive proper treatment. We work towards this goal by increasing public awareness of child and maternal health services and improving the quality of services in health centres.
With our technical and financial assistance, the Ministry of Health conducts training for primary healthcare workers in the integrated management of childhood and neo-natal illnesses. IMNCI promotes an integrated, holistic approach to the case management of sick children, looking at the top causes of child mortality (malaria, pneumonia, diarrhoea, malnutrition, measles). It is recognized that many sick children present with more than one of these conditions at the same time, and the IMNCI approach aims to maximize the opportunities to address these multiple problems. The IMNCI programme was updated in 2006 to include HIV/AIDS and neo-natal components – and thus it has now come to be called Integrated Management of Neo-natal and Childhood Illness. The programme was introduced in Mozambique in 1998 and now covers 130 of the 148 districts in the country. UNICEF also supports the healthy and at-risk child consultations, treatment of severe acute malnutrition and emergency obstetric and neonatal care; we support the distribution of insecticide treated mosquito nets as well as immunisation against vaccine-preventable diseases. In the next couple of slides we’ll describe some of these activities in more detail.
During the visit, you will see the healthy and at-risk child consultations at the health centre in Chimoio. IMNCI is also implemented at this facility.

5. One Programme (cont.) 2007-2009 UNDAF: the Strategic Framework
Consists of four pillars of cooperation, including all UN agencies: Governance, Human Capital, HIV/AIDS, Economic Development
All UN agencies are committed to the achievement of the full UNDAF
Delivering as One: Operational Plan of the
UN System in Mozambique,
Aims to:
Ensure attainment of all the results contained in the UNDAF, and
Pave the way for a reformed UN under the next cycle, by focusing on a strategic sub-set of UNDAF outputs that best illustrate the added value of the UN in the new aid environment and in the overall development context of Mozambique

6. One Programme (cont.)
Eight areas of UN comparative advantage identified in the UNDAF:
advocacy for UN core values, including human rights, gender equality and the MDGs;
normative and technical advisory services;
strengthening of national capacity at both central and decentralised levels;
support to national scale-up of evidence-based programmes;
implementation services;
support to national humanitarian response;
bringing the voice of civil society to the table;
building partnerships between all stakeholders.
Strategic focus on four of the eight areas under the One Programme:
policy and advocacy;
normative / technical support;
capacity development;
civil society partnerships.

8. 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.

10. One Budgetary Framework
Vision: one budgetary framework bringing together all contributions, to
support the coherent resource mobilisation, allocation and disbursement
of donor resources to the Delivering as one: Operational Plan for UN
The One Budgetary Framework will be a consolidation of core and unmarked funds (RR and OR) for the UNDAF
The One Budgetary Framework will be supported by a Joint Resource Mobilization Strategy
One UN Fund
The purpose of the One UN Fund is two-fold:
Bridging the funding gap in the Joint Programmes
Supporting the Change Management Process
