100 (10%)

600 (60%)
Resources available: 800 (80%)
JP A: funds allocated 10% * 800 = 80 (80%)
JP B: funds allocated 30% * 800 = 240 (80%)
JP C: funds allocated 60% * 800 = 360 (80%)

12. Mozambique One UN Fund Further allocations: performance-based
RCO Mozambique
Following the initial allocation and every 6 months
1. If progress is deemed "satisfactory" then the JP qualifies for an additional allocation (formula: same as initial allocation)
SATISFACTORY: The JP has reached 70 % of delivery (in financial utilization against the AWP
JPs that have a delivery rate of between 50 to 70 % will be cautioned to increase the speed of implementation and delivery of results, following which they will be closely scrutinized for subsequent allocations.
2. If progress is deemed “unsatisfactory“ (under 50 %), the JP will be advised that subsequent allocations of funds may be restricted should implementation not improve in all components of the Joint Programme.
 With full utilization and overall achievement of annual targets for this category of Joint Programmes by the end of twelve months of implementation, and subject to a “satisfactory” rating, the Joint Programme will be eligible to apply for additional funds for the second year of implementation. Should the Joint Programme continue to have implementation difficulties resulting in unspent allocations at the year end, the UNCT may request reallocation of funds within the Joint Programme or return of unspent balances to the One UN Fund for allocation to other well performing Joint Programmes.

13. Mozambique One UN Fund Final considerations With an MDTF:
RCO Mozambique
With an MDTF:
+: agencies can concentrate on implementation
- : implementation rate may suffer of the reduced funds predictability
+: increased programme visibility
+: added value for small agencies, that have scarce administrative capacity
