2. Recommendation: UNDP should remain fully conscious of its strengths and cultivate them
by integrating them it its strategic and operational plans, and day-to-day management. The
development of an explicit partnership strategy, which commits not only UNDP but also its
partners, would be recommendable. UNDP should continue supporting its project personnel
housed in government agencies and in institutions such as in the Public Procurement Office,
National Assembly, and others. Given its experience and partnerships, UNDP should
consider supporting closer coordination and cooperation between the central government
bodies its has established working relationships with.

3. Recommendation: UNDP
should ensure that its profile is perceived as clear and unique among potential donors, in
order to succeed on an increasingly competitive market. UNDP should make clear each time
it approaches a partner, which objective (mission or revenue) it pursues in the specific
interaction. UNDP should consider bidding for projects where those qualities are required
and represent a significant advantage over other organizations.

matter areas currently covered by SEESAC, such as the police and the military. Similarly,
UNDP should ensure that its support in the area of human rights strengthening becomes

5. Recommendation: UNDP should make the most of
genuine UN agendas, such as in the areas of human rights and anti-corruption, and assist
Serbia in dealing with its integration into the global economy. In order to strengthen its role,
UNDP should contribute keenly to improving the integration of ODA efforts, via more
systemic co-ordination, towards generating synergies and cost savings in the times of
scarcer none-EU ODA financial presence.

6. Recommendation: UNDP should make greater efforts to define and agree
indicators that meet common quality standards. Where planning cycles are too long to agree
on results that are sufficiently specific, UNDP should reduce those cycles or provide
possibilities and incentives for revising results and indicators (e.g. at mid-term) in
consultation with partners and stakeholders.

8. Recommendation: In line with the provisions of
the Paris Declaration, UNDP should ensure that government processes and procedures are
used wherever possible and legally required. Where external factors, such as temporary
austerity measures to stabilize the economy, are used to justify resorting to substitute
government capacity, exit strategies should be agreed with government.
