1. Recommendation: Recommendation 1. Support the Ivorian
Government to ensure its transition towards
development. Côte d?Ivoire has entered a recovery
phase and must now put in place transition
mechanisms that will allow it to consolidate the
results of humanitarian actions and focus on
development issues. This will involve preparing
to take over from UNOCI and the distribution of
tasks between the various development partners.

2. Recommendation: Recommendation 2. Maintain a focus on welldefined
areas of concentration. The Country
Office must make the most of its strengths, focus
on budget-friendly activities at the strategic level
and activities at the operational level, and use its
resources in a catalytic manner for pilot initiatives.
By drawing on its network of expertise, and given
its position as a neutral multilateral organization,
it is ideally placed to initiate a national dialogue
on structural problems (such as economic stimulus,
job creation, reform of the administration
and public bodies, restoring the authority of the
State, rural land tenure reform, social cohesion
and reform of the justice system). Drawing on its advocacy capacities, it should seek to generate a
ripple effect among development partners in order
to replicate successful initiatives on a larger scale.
The office could intervene judiciously in areas/sectors
that are generally ?neglected? but where needs
are just as important, and reduce its presence in
areas where new stakeholders are now involved
and working on the same thematic areas, because
the Country Office is not in a position to compete
in terms of human and financial resources.
Management Response: [Added: 2013/04/09] [Last Updated: 2013/07/24]
The extended CPD is more focus with only 3 outcomes compare to 9 in the previous one. The office have also elaborated a NHDR to advocate more on the youth employment a crucial issue in the country

3. Recommendation: Recommendation 3. Pay greater attention to
the management of natural resources and environmental
protection. The UNDP Country
Office should restore the management of natural
resources and protection of the environment to
the heart of its priorities and support the Ivorian
Government in its reflection and its actions in
terms of a greater application of, and compliance
with, the regulatory framework, but also in terms
of defining regional policies with neighbouring
countries. This sector has been somewhat
neglected during the crisis and there needs to be
renewed interest in it given its intrinsic links to
the other problems that the country must address
such as poverty reduction, social cohesion, governance
and land disputes.
Management Response: [Added: 2013/04/09] [Last Updated: 2013/07/24]

4. Recommendation: Recommendation 4. Play a more proactive role
in coordinating aid. At the UNS level, this means
establishing a proper collaboration strategy with
all the agencies, including a joint action plan
in the event that another crisis should arise, in
terms of programming and resource mobilization.
It means going beyond the traditional proxy
activities of UNDAF preparation and the
participation in meetings and thematic groups
by the country staff and the establishment of ad
hoc partnerships. With regard to other financial
partners of Côte d?Ivoire, the UNDP Country
Office should be more proactive and play an
intermediary role between the Government and
all of its partners in order to ensure that aid is
coordinated efficiently, on the one hand, and to
ensure a better distribution and complementarity
in the roles of each partner, on the other, within
the spirit of the Paris Declaration.

5. Recommendation: Recommendation 5. Rethink the strategy for
mobilizing resources. Given that official development
assistance from the main donors is increasingly
focused on budgetary support, UNDP risks
seeing a decrease in local opportunities for resource
mobilization and should therefore be prepared
for this eventuality. Resource mobilization must
become an integral part of planning activities, so
that it becomes more predictable and less timeconsuming
for the programme, to the detriment
of more strategic activities.
Management Response: [Added: 2013/04/09] [Last Updated: 2013/07/24]
A new strategy of resource mobilization and partnership have been formulated and adopted by the CO. A dedicated retreat with the participation of senior management has been held for this purpose

6. Recommendation: Recommendation 6. Take advantage of the
transformative potential of the crisis so that
UNDP can address the needs of communities,
while also considering aspects of gender.
UNDP must take advantage of the transformative
potential of the crisis so that the services
offered meet the needs of communities, while
also considering the specific aspects of gender.
In the medium term, this means supporting
the implementation of the National Action
Plan (2008-2012) for the Implementation of
United National Security Council Resolution
1325 through its four components: (i) including
issues of gender in development policies and programmes;
(ii) ensuring the participation of both
women and men in the development process;
(iii) protecting women and girls from sexual violence;
and (iv) strengthening the participation of
women in the decision-making process.

7. Recommendation: Recommendation 7. Rethink the intervention
strategy in the field. Choose a limited number of
pilot interventions in the field and adopt a holistic
approach, based on preliminary studies and
rigorous criteria for the choice of projects, service
providers and beneficiaries, to produce lasting
results, focusing on quality over quantity.

8. Recommendation: Recommendation 8. Ensure greater visibility.
Develop a communication policy that exceeds the
framework of the institutional mandate in this
area and is more focused on specific needs. The
objectives will be to: (i) provide a better understanding
of UNDP?s mandate and change the
negative image of donors that it gives; (ii) improve
the visibility of its interventions at all stages of
programme implementation, not just when projects
are signed, e.g. by providing a budget line
dedicated to communication in each project; (iii)
help the programme communicate when projects
end or local offices close.
Management Response: [Added: 2013/04/09] [Last Updated: 2013/07/24]

9. Recommendation: Recommendation 9. Pay more attention to
ensuring that actions have lasting effects.
To ensure the sustainability of achievements,
systematically plan an exit and takeover strategy
that can be carried out on a larger scale, by
identifying alternative sources of funding from
other donors or by ensuring the existence of
budget lines in the Government.

10. Recommendation: Recommendation 10. Improve the functioning
of operations. Continue with efforts to improve
the functioning of operations within the Country
Office in order to relieve the impact of bureaucracy
and address the delays in disbursement of
funds. To increase the motivation of UNDP field
staff in joint offices, earn the trust of the staff by
developing a clear contracting policy.

11. Recommendation: Recommendation for UNDP Headquarters.
To enable Country Offices to be in a position to
react to a crisis situation, a support mechanism
should be put in place by the UNDP headquarters/
regional bureau, with the objective of processing
support requests from Country Offices
and organizing timely and appropriate responses.
