Summary
Best Practices/Constraints and Lessons Learned At the mid-point in implementation some areas of the UNDAF need to be flagged so that adjustments can be made and/or promising practices can be promoted during the two years remaining. Policy Social protection: Key pieces of social protection legislation have been passed (National Health Insurance, Minimum Wage and Institutional Child Care) and allocations for Pensions and Child Support and have been increased. Programme Computer Aided Learning (CAL): The education sector?s computer aided learning (CAL) pilot project influenced government policy, and provided the IDB with a model to replicate and upscale for 18 schools. Also, the Ministry of Education has established an ICT Unit, and developed an ICT strategy paper. Data The Data PCG has made some good progress on collecting data for the publication of various reports (Household survey, MDG report, etc.). However, for the final two years the PCG should focus on making a link between data collection and the formulation of evidence-based policies, and overall sector planning. Management and Coordination The meeting of PSs prior to the JSC is an important addition to the UNDAF coordination structure as it provides an opportunity for government to exercise strong leadership and ownership by preparing a consolidated ?One Government? response. However, there is still a need for a forum to have high-level discussion among UN heads of agencies and government Final MTR Report on Suriname UNDAF 2012-2016 decision makers. PCGs have introduced a multi-sectoral, multidisciplinary approach into the programmes and ministries, and are creating a dialogue within and between ministries. To the extent possible, this collaboration should be extended beyond UN programmes as this dialogue can introduce a more integrated approach to the delivery of government services and transcend the traditional ?silo approach? practiced by sector ministries.
