Review, support and validation
The roadmap identifies support needed from the Regional UNDG (including PSG), regional offices and headquarters. Before finalization, the RC on behalf of the UNCT will share the roadmap with the PSG for review. The PSG is also available to provide support throughout the development of the roadmap. UNCTs may engage their R/UNDGs and PSGs for support at any time during the UNDAF process, such as before the roadmap or CCA are finalized and hands-on support to UNCTs in developing TORs for evaluation, CCAs, etc. Greater use of the UN system’s knowledge, information and data should also be considered during the UNDAF process, particularly the sharing of information between the humanitarian and development sectors as well as relevant normative and human rights expertise.
Once finalized, the RC sends the roadmap to all national partners and to the R/UNDG, headquarters of all UN agencies and the UN Development Operations Coordination Office (DOCO). Once finalized, the roadmap serves as a means to identify support needs in the formulation and implementation of the UNDAF. This may include technical experts on specific thematic areas, training on any step in the development of the UNDAF, including the application of the core programming principles in various stages of the UNDAF process and the strategic prioritization.
The RC on behalf of the UNCT will share the draft UNDAF document, including the results matrix, with the Regional PSG for review. The PSG has 15 working days to provide consolidated comments. The PSG will also use the parameters for integrated programming as the basis for a checklist to ensure qualitative UNDAFs and ensure that the three core programming principles are adequately reflected in the UNDAFs. In countries with UN peace operations, it is recommended that the DSRSG/RC shares the document with HQ through the Interagency Taskforce to receive feedback within the same timeframe.
After integration of the PSG feedback, the UNCT will provide the new draft to the Government and also seek feedback on the draft from key stakeholders and other development partners.
Sign and launch the UNDAF: The finalized UNDAF must be signed by a Government representative and all UNCT agencies. Ideally, and whenever possible the UNDAF should be launched following the launch of the national development plan. The RC sends the signed UNDAF to all partners and to the Chair of the UN Development Group. Completed UNDAFs are posted on the UNDG website (through the UNDG Information Management System).
Develop agency programme documents: All agencies are to align their programming processes with the UNDAF. The UNDAF Strategic Priorities, UNDAF Outcomes and Joint work plans Outputs are the basis for developing agency programme documents. Agencies may begin preparation of these documents prior to the signing of the UNDAF to ensure that agency-specific submission deadlines are respected.

The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a unique process which involves a review of the human rights records of all UN Member States. The UPR is a State-driven process, under the auspices of the Human Rights Council, which provides the opportunity for each State to declare what actions they have taken to improve the human rights situations in their countries and to fulfil their human rights obligations. As one of the main features of the Council, the UPR is designed to ensure equal treatment for every country when their human rights situations are assessed.
The UPR was created through the UN General Assembly on 15 March 2006 by resolution 60/251, which established the Human Rights Council itself. It is a cooperative process which, by October 2011, has reviewed the human rights records of all 193 UN Member States. Currently, no other universal mechanism of this kind exists. The UPR is one of the key elements of the Council which reminds States of their responsibility to fully respect and implement all human rights and fundamental freedoms. The ultimate aim of this mechanism is to improve the human rights situation in all countries and address human rights violations wherever they occur.

Policy coherence as part of MAPS – mainstreaming section!
Horizontal: consistency across different UNDAF interventions, whether of a normative, policy, programmatic or operational nature  UNCT, inter-agency results groups, joint programmes and other forms of joint programming
Vertical: Alignment with national sustainable development objectives and priorities  requires an in-depth understanding of the national development and policy landscape and regular engagement with national stakeholders.
