Mozambique One UN Fund
Purposes
RCO Mozambique
From the One UN Operational Plan:
“A Delivering as One UN Fund will be established with a two-fold objective:
(a) Bridging the funding gap in joint programmes: to support the coherent
resource mobilization, allocation and disbursement of donor resources to the joint
programmes (…); and
(b) Supporting the change management process: to provide support to specific
Change Management initiatives (…)”
Mozambique One UN Fund
Set-up
RCO Mozambique
Pass-through modality
Through the UNDP MDTF
UNDP as Administrative Agent (AA)
With signed LoA between the AA and
donors
With signed MoU between the AA
and UN participating agencies
Resource mobilization:
Through a joint resource mobilization strategy, developed and supported by the UNCT
(including the RC, as One Leader) to “strategically leverage funds”.

2. The approved JP can apply for funds to the nearest allocation window
Two allocation windows open yearly:
1. 1st January
2. 1st July
3. With an amount proportionate to the unfunded part of the total requirements
4. According to the JP AWP for the period concerned.

The supply side: release of funds
RCO Mozambique
1. At the opening of an allocation window, the available funds are secured in a
proportion of the total requirements (on a pro-rata basis)

100 (10%)
300 (30%)
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%)
2. PMT approves, submit to UNCT. UNCT approves, submit to the Joint
Steering Committee that endorses and authorizes the payments
3. UNDP as Administrative Agent (AA) receives the payment orders, aggregates
the amounts per agencies and disburse the funds

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.

Final considerations
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
