Supporting and cross-cutting strategies
• Human rights based approach to programming –
continued emphasis in all focus areas; strengthening the
SitAn guidance; support to countries reporting on CRC; and
Legislative reforms initiative.
• Gender mainstreaming – Follow up to the gender policy
evaluation, varying levels of improvements across five focus
areas and in programming continued work with other
agencies. $ 4.25 m allocated for organization wide gender
action plan in 2009.
• Results based planning and management – MTR of MTSP
further refined and the Results Framework for MTSP revised;
MTSPInfo-based data companion further improves the
reporting on key programme indicators and KPIs. Work on
‘One ERP’, will further strengthen results based planning and
reporting of UNICEF-supported programmes.
57
Supporting and cross-cutting strategies
• Generation and use of Knowledge – Intranet site ‘In Practice’
launched to showcase innovations, good practices and lessons
learned; Communities of practice launched for social budgeting
and child poverty and disparities functioning; other areas of
progress – supply knowledge management and testing of software
tools.
• Strengthening evaluation – Evaluation of MICS done, suggested
further improvements in quality assurance; real-time evaluation of
UNICEF response in Georgia highlighted areas for future around
staff deployment, cluster leadership, procurement and
humanitarian access; final evaluation of Tsunami in progress;
progress in UNEG evaluation of ‘Delivering as One’ pilots;
evaluation of Programme partnerships informing the partnership
strategy; Programme Performance assessments provide good
methodology for further application in more countries in future.
• Partnership for shared success – Joint programmes

Organizational performance
• Key Improvement Initiatives well underway
• Programme Management – most areas improved or were
stable; 115 COs with emergency preparedness plan, 83%
donor reports submitted in time; 75% of CPDs reviewed either
fully met or found to be adequate for SMART criteria; Although
37 countries report gender review of CPDs, application of
gender mainstreaming continues to be weak.
• Operations Management – M&A + Programme support costs
ratio further improved, cash assistance outstanding for over 9
months dropped to 0.9%; Audit observations closed increased
• HR – while overall recruitment timelines dropped, timely surge
capacity support improved; investment on staff learning
decreased, counterbalanced by rapid growth in use of Elearning packages and effective leadership training and
62
assessments.
Income and expenditure
• Income – increased by 13% to $ 3390 million, with modest
increase in RR. RR, fell to 32% (from 37% in 2007) of total
income
• Expenditure – total increased by 7% to $ 3098 million;
increases were higher in programme assistance with
modest decrease in M&A
• Share for Sub-Saharan Africa at 55.5% exceeded 50%
target;
63
Resource mobilization
• Resource mobilization – Total income from
Governments, inter-governmental organizations and
inter-organizational arrangements - $ 2295 m –
increase of 17%; Private sector amounted to $ 987 m
– mainly attributable to a 32% increase in OR;
Thematic funding during the year totalled $ 546 m
(mainly due to a 17% increase in humanitarian
funding)
