UNDP WATCH: Report Listing

Report Listing

Issue Source: Atlas User Survey, Atlas Helpdesk, Workshops

Affected Parties: Country Offices, Headquarters

Categorization: Policy – Process Prescription/Procedure

A comprehensive list of reports, description of their purpose, and report navigation is needed. The Management Reporting and Monitoring Tools guide, which was previously developed over a year ago, did provide a good amount of information on reports available and data sources. However, it has not been updated for some time and is becoming less useful as new reports are delivered. Providing updated report information can decrease Atlas helpdesk cases as users learn to help themselves. Further, it can increase the accuracy of reporting information to external counterparties, as users will be encouraged to use the right reports and will understand the data behind them.

The Management Reporting and Monitoring Tools guide is being updated and a new version will be released shortly.

Andrew Mitchell - says Helen Clark is up to no good!

1. UNDP’s partnership with the World Bank needs to be more effective, particularly in fragile and crisis-affected countries. 2. UNDP’s near universal mandate means its technical resources are spread very thinly. The Board does not provide strategic direction. HR management is weak. It has a weak results chain. 3. There is limited evidence of active senior management consideration of cost control. Country evidence points to mixed progress on demonstrating cost-efficiency. 4. The Executive Board is politicised and there is a lack of consensus on the key areas for reform. It is not clear that current plans for change will deliver the required depth and breadth of reform. 5. Evidence gathered at country level was highly critical of UNDP’s ability to deliver results. Its delivery can be undermined by staffing issues and bureaucratic processes. 6. Its performance in fragile states is mixed. It has reasonable training and a range of guidance and analytical tools but struggles to fill posts. 7. There is no evidence that the Climate Strategy was directly guiding resource allocation decisions

H.E. Dirk Niebel - German Development Minister

"I take the accusations made in the media concerning corruption and breach of fiduciary duty at the Global Fund very seriously and I am sure that the Fund will clarify the matter without delay. Germany is one of the biggest donors to the Global Fund. I have therefore seen to it that a special review will be held. I have frozen all further disbursements to the Fund until matters have been fully clarified, and I will ask a representative of the Fund to come to the BMZ to discuss the matter."
