Using lessons learnt from existing Joint Programmes of Support and in pilot One UN countries, calls upon the members of the Committee of Cosponsoring Organizations to: implement incentives and eliminate disincentives for quality joint programming that adds value to, and is aligned to the national response; and, support their respective agency’s participation in Joint Teams, with strengthened capacity, including development, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of Joint Programmes of Support.

4.7:Second Independent Evaluation of UNAIDS

Decisionsby admin[PDF][print]

Calls upon all Programme Coordinating Board Members and participants to hold the Executive Director accountable for the allocation of funds raised by the Secretariat between the Secretariat and the individual Cosponsors, meaning the:

− future allocation of inter-agency funding should explicitly show the distribution among the Secretariat and Cosponsors;

− allocation of Unified Budget and Workplan funding raised through the Secretariat should no longer be based on entitlement and pro-rata increases, but on epidemic priorities, the performance of the Cosponsors, and the funds that individual Cosponsors raise at global and regional levels;

− consideration by the major funders of the UN’s response at global level of: (i) whether funding through UNAIDS could increase in response to a shift to performance-based allocations; and (ii) the degree to which the Executive Director should take the lead in raising resources for the UN at global level or whether fund-raising should increasingly be a cosponsor responsibility; and

− Secretariat and Cosponsor performance should be defined around commitments made on development of UN capacity at country level; this is what the Programme Coordinating Board should hold the global coordinators, as the main representatives of their organizations, and the Executive Director (in his or her capacity as head of the secretariat) accountable for and hence should be what is reported against on an annual basis

4.8:Second Independent Evaluation of UNAIDS

Decisionsby admin[PDF][print]

Requests UNAIDS to revise the role and contents of the Unified Budget and Workplan from 2012 onwards to:

− focus on: (i) showing what capacity individual cosponsors and the secretariat intend to have at country level and (ii) the allocation of funding to ensure that planned capacity is in place; and

− include funding to evaluate the degree to which UN capacity established at country level is making a relevant, effective and efficient contribution to the national HIV response
