| Findings |
| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | The new “UNSDCF” should have a title that includes the GoB in it. Per example: “Government of Guinea-Bissau – UNITED NATIONS Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework.” |
| 2 | The CCA exercise should be completed in the shortest delay possible. |
| 3 | Work on the “agreed Framework” should be started as soon as possible in order to establish common Outcomes that the UNCT, operating as a team, will pursue. Only then should they proceed to complete the agency country programme documents (CPDs). |
| 4 | A functional Steering Committee composed of the UNCT and co-chaired by the UNRC and a senior government official at an appropriate level should be put in place and should meet regularly. |
| 5 | The outcomes chosen should be derived from national priorities and each Outcome should be linked to only two or three SDGs. |
| 6 | Where necessary, sub-outcomes should be used to link the chosen Outcomes to project Outputs. |

[Added: 2022/01/25] |
Senior Management | 2021/12 | Completed | The CCA document was completed much ahead of the start of formulation of the UNSDCF. It served as a key document in support of the process. History |
3. Recommendation:
Work on the “agreed Framework” should be started as soon as possible in order to establish common Outcomes that the UNCT, operating as a team, will pursue. Only then should they proceed to complete the agency country programme documents (CPDs).
Management Response: [Added: 2022/01/25]
Accepted
Key Actions:
| Key Action | Responsible | DueDate | Status | Comments | Documents |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Start early on the agreed Framework document, that should serve as basis for development of agencies’ CPDs
[Added: 2022/01/25] |
Senior Management | 2021/12 | Completed | The UNCT and RCO could not get organized on time to work on the agreed Framework. As a results, agencies such as UNDP, which have established regional deadlines for presentation of their CPDs, had to start working on CPD outcomes ahead of the agreed formulation. At the end, a reconciliation of time was established as UNDP had to request a postponement of presentation of its CPD to the Executive Board. |
4. Recommendation:
A functional Steering Committee composed of the UNCT and co-chaired by the UNRC and a senior government official at an appropriate level should be put in place and should meet regularly.
