12. UNDAF or CP Outcomes? UNDAF outcome CP outcome It reflects agency mandate It is one contribution to a larger common goal It represents a development change (institutional or behavioral change) It can be achieved within a single programme cycle It often requires the contribution of more than one UN agency The level of ambition is… HigherLower

13. Examples of higher ambition… UNDAF outcomeCP outcome Enrolment increased to 80% for girls and boys Quality of instruction enhanced in indigenous dominant provinces Safer practices adopted by 40% of high risk groups Knowledge and skills on safe practices increased among youth Safe deliveries increased to 80% nationwide Safe deliveries increased to 80% in 3 provinces National HIV/AIDS policies & legislation adopted HIV/AIDS Voluntary Counseling and Testing Policy drafted

14. UNDAF Results Matrix An at-a-glance expression of UN system support at country level, and How it will make a strategic contribution towards National Development Goals and MDG targets

17. Action Language expresses results from the providers perspective can often be interpreted in many ways focuses on completion of activities Change Language describes changes in the conditions of peoples lives sets precise criteria for success focuses on results, leaving options on how to achieve them Language
