FOREWORD – The ‘United Nations’ and the ‘One UN Initiative’ in Mozambique

The United Nations works, at the request of the Government of Mozambique, to support national developments efforts, respond to emergencies and ensure peace and security to all Mozambicans.

In order to respond more effectively to the challenges of meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), the UN in Mozambique has in recent years been moving towards improved coordination and increased alignment with national priorities. The implementation of UN reforms and the rapidly evolving development assistance environment in Mozambique, characterised by a move towards more flexible aid modalities such as sector Common Funds and General Budget Support (GBS), have provided the UN family with an opportunity to accelerate reform activities at country level. This progress has enabled the UN Country Team to work more closely together, acting as one as one family and speaking with one voice. Mozambique was officially designated as a Delivering as One UN pilot country in January 2007.

The Delivering as One Operational Plan outlines the vision for the Delivering as One in Mozambique and how this vision is to be achieved, through implementation of the “Four Ones” proposed in the report of the High Level Panel, namely: (1) One Programme; (2) One Leader; (3) One Budgetary Framework; and (4) One Office/Common Services. The last mentioned refers to One Office and Common Services, a results-based management system, with integrated support services, under which all agencies share joint premises and common services, wherever cost-efficient, with an aim to ensure efficient and effective delivery of operations support for programmatic activities of all agencies in the country. This arrangement ensures that cooperative arrangements are in place to build on synergies and maximise the use of available capacities and infrastructure.
