1. Purpose of the facilitation guide

This guide is a complete and updated reference to assist the facilitation of in-country workshops to

support and guide UNCTs to integrate anti-corruption into the United Nations Development

Assistance Framework (UNDAF).

In the MDG summit outcome document titled “Keeping the promise: United to achieve the

Millennium Development Goals”, 1 corruption was identified as a serious barrier for human

development and for achieving the MDGs by 2015. States stressed that “fighting corruption at both

the national and international levels is a priority” and committed to actions in the fight against

corruption. Anti-corruption features also prominently in the discussion of the post-2015 agenda.

The objective of the training will be to familiarize UN staff on anti-corruption in different sectors and

fields of work, to enable UN staff to discuss with country stakeholders how anti-corruption can

strengthen the effectiveness of national development processes, and include anti-corruption

programming elements into the UN programming process (e.g. inclusion of anti-corruption in the

analytical framework, assessment of entry points for anti-corruption initiatives, mainstreaming anti-

corruption in UNDAF strategy and monitoring framework).

Key Messages

Corruption is a phenomenon that is constantly evolving and continuously influenced by political, economic, social and cultural contexts.

Corruption is a universal phenomenon, and not a cultural phenomenon. It affects both developed and developing countries.

There is no universally accepted definition of corruption.

Corruption undermines development in all its aspects. Incorporating anti-corruption measures in programming leads to more sustainable and equitable developmental results:

» Corruption diverts key financial resources aimed at development projects.

» Corruption undermines public trust and the rule of law, and serves as a trigger for political instability and conflict.

» Corruption negatively affects both the access to and quality of service delivery, particularly for the poorest and most vulnerable.

» Corruption reinforces discrimination, social exclusion and social/political grievances.

» Corruption obstructs entrepreneurship and innovation, both of which are critical for economic and social development.

The UN can use existing national, regional and international anti-corruption norms and measures to:

» Serve as an entry point for dialogue with national counterparts regarding their implementation, securing both the legal and political commitments of the State.

» Provide systematic and consistent technical support & recommendations that strengthen the prevention and detection of corruption.

UNCAC is the first global and only all-inclusive legally binding anti-corruption instrument of international application.

UNCAC touches all aspects of anti-corruption and thus can be used as a framework and practical guidance for any anti-corruption initiative, including in the development of a comprehensive national anti-corruption strategy or sector-specific preventive and enforcement measures.

Anti-corruption measures should be integrated into UN programming processes via UNDAF. If corruption risks are not acknowledged in the design of a UN development programme, there is a higher chance that corruption will threaten the implementation and impact of the programme.

An anti-corruption based approach brings depth and credibility to UN work by informing: » The kinds of changes we should be aiming for. » How to measure, monitor, and report the change with stakeholders.

5. Workshop preparation

Audience & Timing

The Anti-Corruption workshops are for UN staff from different sectors and fields of work to

encourage mainstreaming of anti-corruption in all areas of UN programming. It can also be

adapted for other audiences, including implementing partners from government and civil

society. Participants will benefit from this workshop at any point in the UNDAF process. It is

most relevant during Step 1: Road Map and Step 2: Country Analysis.3 For maximum

effectiveness, participants should be UN staff serving on thematic groups that will engage in

country analysis exercises and UNDAF preparation. The workshop can make a practical

contribution to the country analysis step by analysing real country challenges. Most workshops

are 2.5 days, depending on the needs of participants and available time. Participants should

number no more than 30 to allow for a meaningful and interactive experience.

Learning Needs Assessment

A Learning Needs Assessment (LNA) is useful to understand the profile of the participants, gauge

their level of knowledge about corruption and anti-corruption, and identify expectations for the

workshop. This could be offered using the LNA proposed (Annex C) as an on-line survey

distributed approximately 3 weeks before the event.

Adapting the Workshop Agenda

The facilitation team may use the LNA results and their understanding of the participants’

backgrounds and country situation to adjust the workshop agenda. This should also be based on

preparatory discussions with the UNCT to ensure that the workshop will be tailored and

responsive to the needs of the country where it will take place.

Facilitation Team

The standard workshop is best delivered by a team of at least 2, and possibly 3, persons: 1

facilitator and 2 resource persons with expertise in the application of anti-corruption elements

to the UNDAF process (one of which could also be the lead facilitator, if the team is composed of

2 people). Experienced participants can be involved as resource persons or presenters, helping

to ground the workshop with their experiences. This may be identified in the preparatory phase.

Facilitation team members will need at least 2 days to review this facilitation guide, related

learning materials, and the Anti-Corruption Resource Guide. A teleconference between the

facilitation team members and the workshop hosts (normally the UN Resident Coordinator’s

Office, RCO) should take place at least 3 weeks in advance of the workshop. This will help team

members to familiarise themselves with the country situation, including the level of UNCT

support for the workshop. Time permitting, brief discussions with the RC and Heads of Agencies

are useful to understand their expectations and how they intend to position anti-corruption

measures in their UNDAF process.

3 See UNDG, UNDAF Guidance Package, http://www.undg.org/?P=232

Background Reading

Participants should receive the following required background reading at least 5 working days

before the workshop. The documents are available at the anti-corruption course page of the UNSSC

UNKampus website or via the hyperlinks below:

United Nations Convention against Corruption. UNCAC Implementation Review Mechanism

The Anti-corruption Resource Guide

Frequently Asked Questions: UN Common Country Programming and 2010 UNDAF Guidance

Package

The Road Map for the country UNDAF process (to be provided by the Resident Coordinator’s

Office, if available)

Workshop Set-up

Annex A contains a note to assist with workshop set-up and a suggested diagram for the

workshop room. An in-country secretariat or support team is useful to assist with the set-up and

support for the delivery of the workshop. This should be discussed in advance between the

training team and the workshop hosts (normally the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office, RCO).

6. Session designs

Resources for each session can be found at the anti-corruption course page of the UNKampus

website. Session folders are organized according to the standard workshop agenda. The

Facilitation Guide will walk you through all preparatory elements needed to run each session.

Session 0: Welcome and introduction

Time: 70 min Purpose - To introduce all participants, the facilitation team, and secretariat - To review the objectives of the workshop and the schedule - To establish ground rules for the conduct of the workshop

Expected Results - Participants and team are introduced - Participants understand the objectives and schedule of the workshop - A set of ground rules to guide the workshop is agreed upon

- An understanding of corruption, using plain language, through the participants’ own definition of “corruption”, is reached and leads to the first substantive session.

:30 Exercise: Define “Corruption” - Divide participants into groups of about 5 - Give them 10 minutes to discuss and create a one-sentence definition of corruption (to be written on flip-chart provided for each group) - Spokesperson for each group reports back and reads out definition and explains why they came up with that definition. - Ask participants what were the difficulties in coming up with a definition? What was considered in creating the definition? - Focus on the issues that were not brought up by participants when considering the definition (E.g. different forms of corruption; International Law; Public/Private, certain sectors, etc.) - The exercise will lead directly to the first session which provides an introduction to the term corruption. Conclude with the message that corruption affects all areas of development and particularly the most vulnerable population (women, indigenous people, children, elderly, youth, etc.) and needs to be addressed in every programmatic area in the UN system; that many anti-corruption measures are found in national, regional and international law; that the UN is ideally placed to advocate for their use; and that this workshop will help them with tools and processes for doing so. - Emphasize that each of the following sessions will un-pack these key messages and help participants to practice with processes and tools that they can apply to the UNDAF process. - Take clarifying questions (5min).

- Flip charts (FC)

Trainer notes: - The facilitation team should share responsibility for the elements of this session amongst themselves. This ensures that participants recognize all the members of the team. - Team members should be upbeat and enthusiastic about the workshop. - Be sure to sort out all ‘protocol’ issues with the UNCT before the start, in terms of flow of speeches, who introduces the RC, etc. - The ground rules capture their expectations about the way the workshop will be conducted. They are their rules – don’t set them for them! Be sure to write ground rules on a flip chart and post them where they can be referred to, if necessary.

Session 1: Introduction to Corruption/Anti-corruption Time: 90 min Purpose - To understand what constitutes corruption - To look into the different types, symptoms, manifestations and forms of corruption and the

applicable terminology; - To provide an overview of the causes of corruption;

Expected Results - Participants have a common level of understanding about what constitutes corruption - Participants are able to describe the different types of corruption as well as different forms

how it manifests itself. - Participants understand the different approaches to identify causes of corruption from a

political, economic, institutional and social angle. Note: The training team may evaluate whether to begin the training with session 2 on the Corruption – Development Nexus, meaning to replace the order between sessions 1 and 2. Given that this session sets a common understanding on why tackling corruption is crucial for development effectiveness, depending on the audience, it may be a good starting point to help the audience understand why the training is important for them.

:60 Presentation: Introduction to Anti-Corruption - Deliver the presentation. The slides contain notes (which can be added to if needed).

Caution – For this and all other presentations, review the slides and reflect on your own style. This may include taking

questions during the presentation itself. BUT ensure that you take no more than the time allotted. Cut slides that you think are un-necessary for your audience, or that you can use as talking points – the shorter the better. The crucial point for all sessions is to keep focused on the key messages you need to highlight. They are always captured in the last slide and are the necessary minimum which should be discussed and brought across.

:30 Q&A, Discussion - Take questions and facilitate a plenary discussion - Deliver the following key messages, as appropriate: » There is no exhaustive or universal definition of corruption; » Corruption is a phenomenon that has evolved with human history

and is continuously influenced by political, economic, social and cultural contexts;

» There are different types of corruption (non-exhaustive): political corruption, bureaucratic corruption, grand corruption, petty corruption, systematic corruption etc.

» There are multiple causes and symptoms of corruption. A solid analysis is needed to determine the immediate, underlying and root causes. There are different manifestations and forms of corruption (non-exhaustive): e.g. bribery, money laundering, abuse of public functions, and these typologies may differ in scope in different national anti-corruption laws.

Also highlight: Anti-corruption goes beyond responding to the normative anti-corruption framework to cover systematic, comprehensive and multi-disciplinary measures aimed to tackle corruption, including both preventive and enforcement measures.

Trainer Notes: - Prep Prep Prep! - Remember that some slides have detailed notes. Read them carefully! - This session requires some anti-corruption background. Read the Resource Guide and the slides

notes carefully. - Ask in advance if there are participants with a background in anti-corruption in the room. Invite

them to clarify any points, if needed. - Do some additional reading on corruption and anti-corruption measures that are applicable to the

country in which you are running the training. - There might be questions before you finish the presentation. You might need to take them,

especially if it is a ‘burning question’, but be careful not to disrupt the flow too much and keep aware of the time.

- During the Q & A it is useful to cluster the questions so that you are able to answer more effectively. - During these sessions, participants may mention the difficulties in tackling corruption in certain

countries. These can be addressed, but do remember that Day 3 will focus on these challenges. It is useful for the participants to record their questions for then, after receiving more information from the course. Be prepared, consult the Resource Guide and do any necessary research.

- Be prepared in case of power cuts! Keep copies of the presentation at hand in case you cannot use PPT. Always be prepared to deliver without PPT!

13

Session 2: Corruption-Development Nexus Time: 75 min Purpose - To understand how corruption affects various aspects of development and particularly of the

work of the UN System - Understand the disparities that exist in any society and how corruption has a large role to play in

causing them, and can start to consider how to address these disparities through programming.

Expected Results - Participants understand how corruption affects various aspects of development (e.g. human

rights, poverty, energy and environment, gender, rule of law, armed conflict, and HIV/AIDS);

- Participants know about the current discourse on anti-corruption, particularly in the context

of the post-2015 agenda; - Participants understand why anti-corruption is currently seen as a global, regional and

national concern, particularly in the context of the post-2015 agenda; - Participants develop a perspective on how the ‘corruption- development nexus’ manifests in the

national development context.

Note: See note for session 1. The order of session 1 and 2 might be changed depending on the assessment of the training team.

session. Deliver key messages, as appropriate: » Corruption is a major bottleneck in achieving the MDGs. It diverts

resources away from basic social services (e.g. health, education, water and sanitation, justice).

» Corruption hinders sustainable economic development by reinforcing social inequality.

» Corruption impacts on the realization of human rights. » Corruption undermines public trust and the rule of law and can fuel

instability and armed conflict. » As the post-2015 agenda evolves and takes shape, it is imperative

to recognize the effect of governance/corruption bottlenecks to the achievement of development outcomes and to address them.

Trainer Notes: - Prep Prep Prep! - Remember that some slides have detailed notes. Read them carefully! - This session requires background information on the corruption situation in the country. - Do some additional reading on corruption and anti-corruption measures that are applicable to

the country in which you are running the training in relation to the national development challenges.

- Engage the audience in the identification of the nexus between corruption and development issues but minimize internal competition among representatives from different sectors or agencies to prioritize issues.

Trainer Notes: - The country resource person may need additional guidance to help them prepare this presentation. Clarify whether the audience is the UNCT alone, or whether it includes government and civil society partners. The presentations could deliver 3 key messages about: Challenges, Progress, and Aspirations for how anti-corruption measures could assist in meeting national development targets. Additional questions to help the presenter frame their presentation are listed below: - What are the biggest development challenges in your country and how do they relate to corruption

concerns (including laws, policies and mechanisms) in the country? - What do you see as the major corruption challenges confronting your country? - Based on corruption information available, who do you consider as ‘most vulnerable’ to corruption

in your country? - What do you consider as the biggest achievements made by the country in terms of anti-corruption

measures or institutions? - What anti-corruption instruments have been ratified by your country? Are they available in local

languages? - What are the anti-corruption provisions in your constitution? - What national laws are enacted to enforce ratified instruments? - What are the major anti-corruption institutions in your country? What is the scope of their

mandate? Do they have adequate resources and personnel? Is their independence guaranteed? - What is the status of measures to strengthen judicial integrity and safeguard judicial independence? - Is access to justice an issue? How is it being addressed? How is access to justice addressed in rural

areas? - What is the status of measures to strengthen prosecutorial integrity? - What can the UN contribute to address the national development and corruption challenges in

partnership with the Government?

Session 4: Anti-corruption and the national, regional and international normative frameworks Time: 75 min Purpose - To learn about the established national, regional and international frameworks of agreed

rules and standards for countering corruption that will inform their application of anti-corruption measures at country level.

Expected Results - Participants have identified national, regional & international frameworks relevant for

anti-corruption and recognize the sources of anti-corruption norms and standards at

different levels which are relevant to their country.

- Participants understand the content of UNCAC and its different chapters become familiar with the basic concepts of the review mechanism and self-assessment, and know where to find further information.

Plenary discussion - Facilitate discussion inviting contributions from any resource persons from the UN Country Team. - You may use some of the following questions: » To what extent do you feel UNCAC addresses the main problems of

corruption in your country? » Has your country participated in the UNCAC Implementation

Review Mechanism? What were the recommendations contained in the published Executive Summary? Was the full report published?

» What areas do you think the national legislation falls short of the international principles set forth in the Convention?

- Criminalization? - Preventive Measures? - International Cooperation? - Asset Recovery? - Technical Assistance and Information Exchange? » Discuss how this knowledge can assist in anti-corruption

discussions with the government (This leads on to the next topic: The Value of UNCAC).

Note any contentious points for sessions later in the workshop or for the parking lot. Record suggestions for consideration in session 9. Deliver key messages, as appropriate: » It is essential to conduct a comprehensive review of the legal

instruments on anti-corruption. Tools exist to help UN staff and their national counterparts to do so;

» Norms are in place related to the prevention, detection, investigation and sanctioning of acts of corruption. Most regional Conventions were created prior to UNCAC. They do not usually cover as much ground on corrupt practices, their language is shorter in regards to prevention and combating corruption, and most of them do not include provisions dealing with the specific challenge of recovering the proceeds of corruption at the international level;

» UNCAC is the only all-inclusive legally binding corruption instrument of international law;

» UNCAC provides solutions to challenges posed by corruption and can form the basis for UN programming and technical assistance;

» UNCAC Implementation Review Mechanism provides an opportunity for intervention and technical assistance programming.

Trainer Notes: - Prep Prep Prep! - Be prepared to answer the questions that you use for the research exercise/plenary discussion. - Familiarize yourselves with the TRACK Legal Library Tool.

Session 5: The value of UNCAC Time: 60 min Purpose - To learn about the value of using UNCAC as an entry point for dialogue with country

stakeholders and about the comparative advantage of the UN in engaging in or facilitating such dialogue.

Expected Results - Participants identify key entry points for dialogue and will have recognized the usefulness of

UNCAC to guide technical assistance and support the Government in such attempts.

- They understand how UNCAC can serve as a guide for anti-corruption programming;

- Participants value the addition of the UN system on anti-corruption.

are the practical exercise and the messages contained in slides 4, and 7 to 9. This is the main opportunity to familiarize the participants with UNCAC and to use it as basis for practical programming work. The slides contain notes (which can be added to if needed). The presentation should be no longer than 10 min to introduce the value that UNCAC can bring to UNDAF programming. Group Exercise: Invite participants to, in their table groups, discuss the content of the following UNCAC articles and identify possible programming entry points to be integrated in the country UNDAF:

Group 1 focuses on Article 7 Groups 2 and 3 focus on Articles 8 and 9 Group 4 focuses on Articles 10 and 11 Group 5 focuses on Articles 12 and 13

Participants shall present briefly in plenary their “findings”, which the facilitator shall capture to bring back when starting the 3-step analysis and session 8, when considering strategic programming decisions. If time allows, this group work exercise should be longer, as it really helps participants to familiarize themselves with the content of the normative framework and the applicability and usefulness of bringing it to the UNDAF programming. Q&A, Discussion - Take questions and facilitate a plenary discussion - In responses, highlight the added-value of UNCAC an entry point for dialogue with country stakeholders and the value added by the UN system in fighting corruption. Build on the results of the group work and refer to examples brought up by the participants. Note any contentious points for sessions later in the workshop or for the parking lot. Record suggestions for consideration in session 9. Deliver key messages, as appropriate:

» The UN’s impartiality in promoting normative values at global, regional and national level provides it a unique legitimacy to deal with the subject matter in the context of technical assistance;

» UNCAC touches all aspects of anti-corruption and thus can be used as a framework and practical guidance for any anti-corruption initiative, be it the development of a comprehensive national anti-corruption strategy or the design of sector-specific preventive or enforcement measures.

» UNCAC is the only all-inclusive legally binding corruption instrument of international law;

» UNCAC provides solutions to challenges posed by corruption

and can form the basis for UN programming and technical assistance;

each group

Session 6-7: The UNDAF process: Overview and Step 1-2 Time: 180 min (plus) Purpose - To help participants understand the UNDAF process; - Explain how UNDAF will be aligned with national development cycle - Outline the UNDAF preparation process and road map - To understand the 3 main steps for using an anti-corruption lens in the analysis phase and

apply them to real country development challenges

Expected Results - Participants will undertake a causality analysis of development challenges to identify

the immediate, underlying and root causes of the problem at stake related to anti-corruption;

- Build on their causality analysis to identify claimants and their claims, and accountable actors and their corresponding obligations;

- Use this role analysis to identify the critical capacity gaps that prevent claimants from claiming what they are being denied of, and accountable actors from meeting their obligations;

- Apply the anti-corruption normative frameworks to strengthen their overall analysis. The success of this session depends on 2 important preparations prior to the workshop:

Preparation

1. Selection of development challenges for analysis The facilitation team will request the UNCT to select 2 to 4 major development challenges for analysis during the workshop. These should come from challenges that have been identified in National Development Plans and/or identified as possible challenges for Government-UN cooperation in the next UNDAF. By analyzing ‘real’ country challenges, the workshop will make a practical contribution to the country analysis step. The facilitation team will request the RC’s Coordination Office to prepare brief summaries (2-3p) of each development challenge, using data from national reports and UNCT supported analysis.

2. Anti-corruption Handouts For each development challenge, the facilitation team will prepare a handout that lists the relevant normative standards and any concluding observations and recommendations from recent UNCAC Reviews or other relevant documents. Summarized in about 5 pages, these handouts enable participants to see, first-hand, the practical value of the UNCAC Review Mechanism or other existing instruments to the analysis.

Highlight the added value of ensuring an anti-corruption lens is used in the country analysis phase and other steps of the UNDAF process. - Deliver the following key messages, as appropriate: » The Anti-Corruption lens in the UNDAF process provides for an

invaluable diagnostic tool for contextualization of the development situation, and to determine the space available to respond through UN Programmes;

» The Anti-Corruption lens in the UNDAF process will further amplify the understanding of formal and informal linkages between different, equally important, components of the development architecture.

» It will be critical to link the anti-corruption lens to the programming principles as well as broader processes such as context analysis.

» Such linkages will assist in identifying challenges and opportunities and guide the process of making ‘informed choices’ through which development effectiveness will be enhanced.

the 2 challenges identified). Designate the tables in the room for each of the 2 challenges and ask participants to move to the table of their choice. Balance the groups as needed, then review the group work instructions:

In groups: Read the summary of the development challenge (if provided by RCO) Work together to do a causality analysis, as follows: - Brainstorm the major immediate, underlying, and root causes of the development challenge - Use cards and paper to create a causality diagram or “problem tree” - Indicate the flow of causality using arrows - Remind groups to be as specific as possible. - This helps to link the problem analysis to roles and responsibilities of particular accountable actors and claimants. - After some time, ask groups to identify the immediate, underlying and root causes of the development challenge as well as identifying corruption risks. - The main critical corruption related issues are written on post-it notes and placed on the relevant parts of the problem tree.

Exercise: Role Analysis - Show group work slide and example - Ask groups to each select 1 corruption issue from their causality analysis on which to focus, then: - Identify the main claimants and their claims, the main accountable actors(s) and their corresponding duties and other responsible actors and their possible role, in a simple table (see example slide). Encourage groups to identify accountable actors who must do something about that claim, their most critical obligations and the role they currently play (national, district, and community) and to be as specific as possible in the identification of all actors. - Analysis is recorded on flipchart

Analysis Step 3: Capacity Gap Analysis Presentation part III: Capacity Gap Analysis - Continue the presentation. Exercise: Capacity Gaps Analysis - Show group work slide and example. - Groups build on their role analysis as follows: - For each critical corruption issue identified, discuss and list possible ways to prevent it; - For each claimant, discuss and list the possible elements of capacity that are lacking or need strengthening (e.g. access to information) that prevent them from claiming what they are being denied of;

Presentation 6-7 Group work slide and example in Presentation 7 - Cards - Markers

Duration Activity Materials

- For each accountable actor, discuss and list the possible elements of capacity that are lacking or need strengthening (legal, institutional) and any policy gaps (national protection systems) that prevent them from fulfilling their obligations; - For each responsible actor (RA), discuss and list the possible elements of capacity that are lacking or need strengthening (e.g. access to information) that prevent them from assuming their potential roles. - Analysis is recorded on flipchart

Trainer Notes: - Participants will be very engaged in these steps. Be flexible about allocating more time when you

see the groups are willing to work more deeply on the analysis. - Remind participants that resources are not financial resources only. They must consider:

Knowledge, Resources (human, technical and financial), Organizational abilities, Responsibility –motivation – leadership, and Authority.

- The group work for this session should be photographed and typed-up, especially when it will be used as part of the UNCT’s country analysis.

- Key messages to be delivered concerning the integration of the anti-corruption lens in the UNDAF process:

Corruption comes up as a common risk in almost all UN interventions ranging from development, rule of law, human rights, climate change, gender equality, service delivery, peace building and recovery. If risks associated to corruption are not acknowledged from the initial design of any UN development programme, the chances that corruption will threaten the implementation and the impact desired of a particular programme become higher. Thus, the importance of integrating an anti-corruption lens as a key element of the country analysis is paramount.

Emphasize that they should not present the group’s work, but rather stand-by to clarify and answer questions. - The other members of each group will rotate every 7 to 10 min to visit and comment on the work done by other groups. - Visitors should leave comments and suggestions on post-it notes. - Ask participants to reflect critically on: Causality Analysis: Is there a logical flow in the causality analysis and clarity of problems, particularly at the lower levels of the framework? Role Analysis: Do the claims and obligations make sense and are presented in plain language – when you read an obligation can you imagine a corresponding action? Capacity Gaps: Is there sufficient attention to capacity gaps that address the lower levels of the framework (root causes) – related to critical gaps in legal, institutional and policy and budgetary frameworks? Gender Dimension: How well does the analysis reflect the different ways that women and men experience the development challenge? Will the capacities address the root causes of gender inequality?

Duration Activity Materials

Trainer Notes: - If time is short, just do one rotation. If you have set-up the group work so that 2 table groups are using the same challenge, have these 2 groups visit each other. ‘Chaotic’ gallery (shorter alternative): - Allow participants to roam individually, as they please. This is a “chaotic” gallery. It takes less time, and you must assume that not every participant will visit each group. Rather, participants will spend time on the analyses that interest them, and with which they have experience.

Session 8: UNDAF Process - Step 3: Strategic Planning - Linking Analysis with Results Time: 105 min

Purpose - To show participants how to formulate results and indicators that are drawn from the

analysis conducted in session 6-7.

Expected Results - Participants will be able to identify key anti-corruption entry points in the strategic planning

phase.

- Participants reach a common understanding of the fundamentals of RBM approach to

measure progress on anti-corruption

- Participants will be able to discuss the pros and cons of different type of indicators to

measure corruption and anti-corruption

- Formulate anti-corruption result statements (outcome, output) and indicators according to

RBM principles as a key tool to accelerate national development processes

Presentation: Linking analysis with results Present the session objective and deliver the presentation until the Slide 10. After highlighting some of the examples illustrated on slide 10, participants will be invited to start the group work. When presenting slide 4 on the UNDG approved RBM definitions emphasize the focus on cause and effect relationships, measurable changes, and accountability, through performance monitoring. Key messages: RBM practice… 1. Helps us to connect the analysis of country challenges to evidence about progress to date and lessons-learned 2. Enables us to engage partners to formulate SMART results, and develop mechanisms and processes to ensure regular monitoring and reporting on UNDAF performance 3. Demands working mechanisms for UNDAF monitoring and reporting and the use of UNDAF performance information by the UNCT and partners for decision-making 4. In all the above, an anti-corruption lens during the analysis phase brings depth and credibility to our practice of UN programming processes by telling us… The kinds of changes we should be aiming for: How to measure, monitor, and report on changes in behaviours, performance and capacities.

Presentation 8 Flip chart

:30 Ask participants to return to the same groups that did the analysis in session 7. Groups formulate 1 UNDAF outcome and 2 contributing outputs that respond to the development challenge integrating anti-corruption measures from session 7. The outcomes should be written on A4 cards and placed on the wall beside their analytical work, as a results framework: e.g.

Highlight that: Outcomes are: - Changes in the performance in development Outputs are: - Results that address critical capacity gaps created by corruption. Present the format for the UNDAF results matrix. Prior to the workshop, consult with the RCO about which format the UNCT intends to use (1a. Outcomes or 1b. Outcomes and Outputs). You may have to show both. Emphasize that there is only 1 level of outcome (this was introduced by the UNDAF Guidance 2010). Take any clarifying questions on the typology and UNDG RBM definitions.

:20 Presentation: Monitoring and Evaluation: Measurements & Assessments of Corruption to inform Country Analysis and Strategic Planning

Emphasize that monitoring and evaluation are different activities carried out by different actors. UN staff must carry out the bulk of UNDAF monitoring, measurements, and assessments of corruption can help them to do this more effectively.

Optional: time allowing Gallery: Quick recap of group-work and session Participants’ opportunity to “visit” other groups and give feedback Reflect on…

– The logical flow of results and use of change language – The linkage between the results framework and the

analysis. Does it make sense? Do the results respond to the underlying and root problems revealed by the analysis? Do the outcomes show changes in the performance of claimants to claim what they are being denied of, accountable actors to meet their obligations? Do the outputs address identified capacity gaps? Conclusion: Linking Analysis with Results Take a moment to conclude this session with key messages: » The analysis with an anti-corruption lens brings depth and

legitimacy to our practice by telling us: the kinds of changes we should be aiming for and how to measure, monitor, and report on change.

» The monitoring and evaluation plan should use measurements and assessments of corruption.

Session 9: Addressing sensitive issues and discussing challenges to anti-corruption programming Time: 60 mins Purpose

Recognition of challenges to designing an effective anti-corruption programme in order to prepare strategies to avoid or reduce the impact of these possible challenges. Give the UNCT an opportunity to reflect on what has been learnt during the workshop and discuss the implications for its future work.

Expected Results - Participants will have discussed some of the most common questions related to sensitive issues

around anti-corruption programming; - Participants will have look at some of the options to respond to sensitive issues; - They will understand some of the Dos and Don’ts of sensitive issues; - Participants will explore options, entry points and practical next steps to better integrate

anti-corruption principles to the country’s UNDAF process;

:30 Discussion about entry points and practical next steps to integrate anti-corruption principles into the country’s UNDAF process This session must be focused and grounded in country realities. It should not produce an idealized ‘wish-list’ of ways to apply an anti-corruption based approach. Before the workshop, the facilitation team should discuss with the UNCT and RCO about different concrete opportunities for integrating anti-corruption measures into the UNDAF process or wider national programming processes. For example: ­ The National Development Plan or PRS ­ National Sector reviews, plans, or strategies Before the workshop, develop a short-list of the most realistic

Duration Activity Materials

opportunities for integrating anti-corruption into programming. This is the starting point for this session. Flexibility is important in this session. Option 1: What do we do next? Have the presentation on the UNDAF road map (as above). Ask the presenter (HoA or the Coordination Officer) to remain as a resource person. Keep the Road Map table or list of activities on the screen for reference. Ask: In order to apply what we have learned in this workshop, what do we do next? - Facilitate a plenary discussion, seek consensus on a short-list of next steps, as recommendations to the UNCT. Option 2: What do we do next? Break participants into groups (4 or 5) and invite them to brainstorm about the opportunities/entry points which most interest them. In groups… ­ Identify the result you want to achieve (short term, practical) ­ Indicate a possible timeline for completion/achievement ­ List any key resources needed for each result (reference materials,

data, expertise, and funds) ­ Identify up to 3 major challenges or barriers that would prevent

the UNCT and partners from taking advantage of the opportunity, including any stakeholders who may oppose

­ Ask each group to present their work plan in 3 minutes or less in plenary.

Key messages

1. Corruption normally occurs within complex economic and political networks in which personalities of the economic and political elite are engaged.

2. The UN is in a unique position to address anti-corruption issues because of the United Nations Convention against Corruption, the Review Mechanism and its follow-up mandate.

3. It is critical to identify what are the interests and incentives of the opposition, business sector or ruling party regarding a particular scandal.

4. It is always advisable for the UN system to monitor the

domestic politics and anti-corruption programming as it

could still be sensitive.

35

Duration Activity Materials

5. The ultimate goal of eradicating poverty will not be

achieved unless challenges posed by corruption are

addressed. Not addressing corruption as part of UN

programming bears both operational as well as credibility

risks to the mission of the UN.

Trainer Notes: - This session may not be appropriate for workshops with some government partners. The UNCT may need another opportunity to strategize collectively. - The following questions can also be used to prompt the group discussions on challenges and strategies: »Do you have enough high quality, disaggregated data to illustrate the problems? Are decision-makers motivated by this data? »Who are the advocates and allies (e.g. parliamentarians, civil society groups, eminent people) that can be involved to build commitment (e.g. attention to specific populations and marginalized groups)? »Will an explicit anti-corruption strategy move the agenda (e.g. advocacy based on standards, commitments)? »Do national bodies (e.g. government, CSOs) have the technical and financial resources they require? - Add relevant questions to the slides after each session (that were brought up by participants) to trigger discussion on different issues and challenges in future workshops.

36

Optional Session: Open space Normally, there will not be time for an open space session in a 2 ½ day workshop. However, you could include it in a full 3 day workshop. Alternatively, if some participants are keen to explore and discuss more technical details about corruption and anti-corruption, it could be done as a short evening session, or during a lunch session. Time: 45 min Purpose - To help participants clarify any outstanding questions they have about corruption and anti-

corruption, and the UN country programming process and guidelines; - To guide participants to additional resources and reading. Expected Results - Participants will have clarified any outstanding substantive or operational concerns from the

content of the workshop. Session Outline

Annex C: Learning Needs Assessment & Follow-up questionnaire to participants

A Learning Needs Assessment (LNA) is essential to understand the profile of the participants, gauge their level of knowledge about anti-corruption, and identify expectations for the event. The LNA can be offered as an on-line survey about 3 weeks before the event. The standard questions of the Learning Needs Assessment (LNA) are shown below:

Anti-corruption Workshop – Learning Needs Assessment

1. What are the key issues that you would like to learn in the workshop? 2. Have you applied anti-corruption principles/measures in your work? Has the prevention

or enforcement of anti-corruption measures ever been a factor in programmes you have worked on? Please explain.

3. What have been the most challenging issues related to applying anti-corruption

principles/measures in your work? If anti-corruption measures have not been factored into programmes you have worked on, what do you think the reasons are for that?

4. Please assess your level of knowledge/proficiency on the following topics using a scale

of 1 to 6 (where 1 is low and 6 is high):

The different types of corruption

Development-corruption nexus

UN Reform and Common Country Programming Process

International, Regional and National Anti-corruption measures

Integration of Anti-corruption Principles into the UN Programming process

Causal Analysis

Role Pattern Analysis

Capacity Gap Analysis

What makes a good UNDAF outcome, Agency outcome and Agency output

Assumptions, risks and challenges to anti-corruption programming

Monitoring & Evaluation of Anti-Corruption programmes

Thank you for completing the questionnaire. A Follow-up questionnaire may provide a measure of the effectiveness of the Anti-corruption workshop, once participants have returned to their work. You may send a follow-up on-line questionnaire to all participants. Ideally, the arrival of the questionnaire will follow closely on a major event or milestone in the UNDAF road map in the country.
