3. Brahimi Report
“There is currently no integrated planning or support cell in the Secretariat that brings together those responsible for political analysis, military operations, civilian police, electoral assistance, human rights, development, humanitarian assistance, refugees and displaced persons, public information, logistics, finance and recruitment.”

4. Background – Policy Framework
SG’s Note of Guidance (2000): RC/HCs ‘brought into the mission’ as DSRSGs to link between Mission and the UNCT (structural integration)
2006 IMPP Guidelines endorsed by the Secretary-General: ‘the authoritative basis for the planning of all new integrated missions, as well as the revision of existing integration mission plans for all UN departments, offices, agencies, funds, and programmes’
Key Elements IMPP as per 2006 Guidelines:
Standing Fora:
Integrated Mission Task Force (HQ)
Integrated Mission Planning Team (Field)
Planning Tools:
TAM
Mission Plan
RBB

Objective
Component
Expected Accomplishments
Indicators of achievement
Outputs:
External Factors
Objective: an overall desired achievement involving a process of change and aimed at meeting certain needs of identified end-users, within a given period of time.
Expected Accomplishment: a desired outcome involving benefits to end-users, expressed as a quantitative or qualitative standard, value or rate.
Indicators of Achievement: used to measure to what extent the objectives and/or expected accomplishments have been achieved. Indicators correspond either directly or indirectly to the objective or the expected accomplishments and are used to measure performance.
Outputs: final products or services delivered by a programme or subprogram to end-users, such as reports, publications, training, servicing of meetings, or advisory, editorial, translation of security services, which an activity is expected to produce in order to achieve its objectives.
External factors: events and/or conditions that are beyond the control of those responsible for an activity but that have an influence on the success or failure of the activity. They may be anticipated in the form of assumptions or they may be unanticipated.
Component Approach:
Provide focus on how mission contributes to the objective by grouping expected accomplishments and related outputs
Not necessarily components in terms of organisational chart e.g. civil affairs
Outputs are reflected under those components that contain the accomplishments to which they contribute
E.g. Civilian Police output for elections “Ballot boxes security”
could be reflected under Substantive Civilian component accomplishment “Achievement of free and fair elections”
Support component of particular interest to ACABQ
