Joint Programme Approval Process
The MDG-F Steering Committee launched calls for proposals on the eight programme areas in a phased manner, open to the 59 eligible countries. A key criterion for selection of proposals was the measurable impact on the achievement of the MDGs and the Millennium Declaration. The process, detailed below, entailed the formulation by UN country teams of a Concept Note coherent with the UNDAF and national development priorities. If approved, this Concept Note was further developed into a Joint Programme document endorsed by the National Steering Committee. The review and approval process for each programme areas was coordinated by a specific UN Agency called a Convenor.
The Convenor for each MDG-F Programme Area was as follows:
- Children, Food Security and Nutrition: United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)
- Environment and Climate Change: United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
- Youth, Employment and Migration: International Labour Organization (ILO)
- Culture and Development: United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
- Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: UNDP Gender Team
- Economic Governance: Office for Developments Studies at UNDP
- Development and the Private Sector: United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)
- Conflict Prevention and Peace building: Bureau for Crisis prevention and Recovery (BCPR) at UNDP
