The UNDP South Africa Country Programme 2007-2010 is situated within the framework of the UNDAF 2007-2010 and takes into account the current UN Reform processes, changing global aid architecture and the global policy perspectives that have emerged following the 2000 Millennium Summit and commitment to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015.
Within the context of the current United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2007 - 2010 UNDP South Africa will focus its partnership with the Government on achieving demonstrable and sustainable development results. In response to the Government's comprehensive programme of improving the performance of state services, the corresponding UNDAF goal is to build institutional capacity at all levels to deliver quality basic social services, particularly to the most vulnerable and marginalised groups. Derived from this programme mandate UNDP South Africa will focus its development support on formulating demand-driven capacity enhancement initiatives in priority areas of service delivery and service access. UNDP will aim to deliver strategic development support in an effective, results-oriented, MDG-focused manner.
This will include:
- Aligning UNDP activities with national development goals and priorities;
- Situating UNDP programmes within the framework of capacity development for pro-poor growth and accountability;
- Providing policy and technical support to promote South Africa's development agenda; and
- Strengthening the resident coordinator system to facilitate joint United Nations activities. Guided by the MDGs and the Paris Declaration, UNDP programmes will be aligned with the national development frameworks and be based upon the principles of national ownership, mutual accountability and partnerships with Government and other development stakeholders.
