MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDINGUNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE FRAMEWORK 2013-2016

The United Nati ons System (UNS) in Belize, in collaborati on with Government insti tuti ons and development partners, has developed the United Nati ons Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2013-2016. The Belize UNDAF consti tutes the framework of reference for the collaborati ve acti ons of the enti re UN system in Belize and is anchored to the nati onal development vision and prioriti es as outlined in Horizon 2030, as well as in nati onal sector plans, policies and strategies.

The UNDAF adopts both the UN system’s fi ve programming principles (the human rights-based approach, gender equality, environmental sustainability, results-based management, and capacity development) tailored to the country context, as well as the fi ve principles of the Paris Declarati on on aid eff ecti veness and the Accra Agenda for Acti on (ownership, alignment, harmonizati on, results and mutual accountability), with the purpose of ensuring adequate and meaningful development cooperati on support to Belize.

The UNDAF process, based on the analysis factored within the Common Country Assessment (CCA), identi fi ed four broad prioriti es for the UN assistance and development cooperati on framework:

• Advancing Human Rights with Equity, Equality and Non-Discriminati on

• Promoti ng Economic and Social Well-being, Citi zen Security and Justi ce

• Environmental and Natural Resource Management, Disaster Risk Reducti on and Climate Change Mainstreamed into Public Policies and Development Processes

• Democrati c Governance

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The UN System in Belize, in collaborati on with Government insti tuti ons and development partners, has developed the United Nati ons Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2013-2016. The UNDAF consti tutes the framework of reference for the harmonizati on and arti culati on of the UN system’s acti ons to maximize the eff ecti veness and complementariti es of their interventi ons in support of the country’s development objecti ves. The UNDAF is the common UN framework through which the System supports the eff orts of Belize as it strives to accelerate the att ainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other global and nati onal policy objecti ves.

The UNDAF responds to key nati onal challenges as defi ned in the Common Country Assessment (CCA), which provides a qualitati ve and quanti tati ve analysis of the principal development opportuniti es and challenges facing Belize, with a people-centered, human rights-based approach. A major focus of this analysis is on equity, whereby a key challenge identi fi ed relates to persistent inequaliti es facing the Lati n American and Caribbean countries, including Belize. It also integrates the comprehensive noti on of “well-being”, one that seeks to capture the full range of dimensions to human development, and it highlights the importance of social protecti on in the struggle against poverty. The UNDAF process is underpinned by fi ve broad guidelines: 1) nati onal ownership that is inclusive of all stakeholders in all stages of the process; 2) alignment with nati onal development prioriti es, strategies, systems and programming cycles; 3) inclusiveness of the UN system with full involvement of resident and non-resident agencies; 4) integrati on of the fi ve programming principles (human rights-based approach, gender equality, environmental sustainability, results-based management, and capacity development) tailored to the country context; and 5) mutual accountability for development results.

In recent years, Belize has identi fi ed development prioriti es and challenges through a variety of analyses and planning processes, some of which entailed broad stakeholder consultati ons. Among them are the 2002 and 2009 Country Poverty Assessments; the 2007-2010 and 2009-2013 Nati onal Poverty Eliminati on Strategy and Acti on Plans (NPESAP); Horizon 2030: Belize for All and the Medium-Term Development Strategy (2010-2013). In additi on, specifi c plans and policies as the Nati onal Health Plan and Policy, Nati onal Plan of Acti on for Children and Adolescents, Nati onal Plan towards Eradicati ng Child Malnutriti on in Belize, and the Food and Security Nati onal Policy also identi fi ed key areas for acti on. The UNDAF is fully congruent with, and guided by, the nati onal development objecti ves refl ected in these documents.

The priority areas identi fi ed for engagement between the Government of Belize and the UN country team in Belize, with support from non-resident UN agencies, are the following:

PRIORITY 1: Advancing Human Rights with Equity, equality and non-discriminati on

PRIORITY 2: Promoti ng economic and social well-being, citi zen security and justi ce

PRIORITY 3: Environmental and natural resource management, disaster risk reducti on and climate change mainstreamed into public policies and development processes

PRIORITY 4: Democrati c governance


PRIORITY STRATEGIC AREAS AND EXPECTED RESULTS

This secti on describes in narrati ve form the priority areas for development cooperati on, building on the content of the CCA. It presents an overview of the UNDAF 2013-2016 Results Matrix (Annex 1), which identi fi es four priority areas, seven outcomes and their corresponding outputs, indicators, baselines, targets, means of verifi cati on, risks and assumpti ons, role of partners and indicati ve resources.

The outcomes respond to the challenges identi fi ed in the CCA and are specifi c, realisti c and measurable, as well as focused on those interventi ons where the UN system has a comparati ve advantage and capaciti es to make a meaningful contributi on.

PRIORITY 1: ADVANCING HUMAN RIGHTS WITH EQUITY, EQUALITY AND NON-DISCRIMINATION

Outcome 1: By 2017, a culture of human rights with equity, equality and non-discriminati on is insti tuti onalized at all levels

This priority area responds to the eight MDGs, the Millennium Declarati on and Horizon 2030. A human-rights based approach to development is one of the fi ve core principles underlying UN development programming. The Statement of Common Understanding, which emerged from the 2003 Inter-agency Workshop on the Human Rights-based Approach to Development Cooperati on, underscored three broad principles: 1) All programmes of development cooperati on, policies and technical assistance should further the realizati on of human rights as laid down in the Universal Declarati on of Human Rights (UDHR) and other human rights instruments; 2) human rights standards contained in, and principles derived from, the UDHR and other human rights instruments guide all development cooperati on and programming in all sectors and in all phases of the programming process; 3) development cooperati on contributes to the development of the capaciti es of “duty bearers” to meet their obligati ons and/or of “rights holders” to claim their rights.

Belize has signed and rati fi ed 7 major internati onal human rights treati es to date. These include the Internati onal Covenant on Civil and Politi cal Rights (ICCPR), the Internati onal Conventi on on the Eliminati on of Racial Discriminati on (ICERD), the Conventi on on the Eliminati on of Discriminati on Against Women (CEDAW), the Conventi on Against Torture (CAT), the Conventi on on the Rights of the Child (CRC), both opti onal protocols for CRC (OP-CRC-AC and OP-CRC-SC), the Conventi on on the Protecti on of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and their Families (CRMW) and most recently, the Conventi on on the Rights of Persons with Disabiliti es (CRPD). While signatory status regarding these conventi ons is commendable, at present the conventi ons are insuffi ciently mainstreamed into the work of the responsible government ministries, actual policy follow-through has been selecti ve, there has been insuffi cient operati onalizati on and allocati on of resources and there is need for further progress in the reporti ng system.

In response to these challenges, the UNDAF has formulated a range of specifi c outputs to ensure the broader goal of the insti tuti onalizati on of a culture of human rights at all levels. One area of UN system interventi on would support the promoti on of research and the draft ing and circulati on of reports available to policy-makers to inform legislati ve reform and policy development with respect to internati onal human rights standards. Another important dimension would be criti cally important capacity building provided to key stakeholders including government decision-makers, municipal authoriti es, community leaders to integrate human rights principles, internati onal standards and agreements into nati onal development plans.The launching of district-level public campaigns to


increase awareness of human rights instruments and nati onal goals and commitments would further strengthen the process of insti tuti onalizing rights at the local level.

Another response to the challenge of mainstreaming a human rights-based approach to nati onal development is to support culturally diverse and parti cipatory plans of acti on to promote equal rights. There is an array of possible innovati ve interventi ons in this regard. For example, capacity-building initi ati ves and south-south based collaborati ve acti viti es that aim to build a wider human rights culture could be implemented through the Nati onal Insti tute of Culture and History (NICH) and would greatly assist with contributi ng to the goal of an expanded human rights culture in Belize. Overall, developing a draft strategic framework in favour of human rights and equity would serve to foster bett er collaborati on between the Government and civil society organizati ons.

Progress in human rights reporti ng is constrained by knowledge and capacity defi cits in ministries regarding how to operati onalize human rights into their work, a general lack of public awareness of fundamental human rights and overall societal apathy towards the need for constant vigilance in ensuring that all human rights are respected all the ti me. Technical support to strengthen nati onal capacity for independent monitoring and implementati on of nati onal legislati on in support of human rights would contribute to addressing these capacity gaps. This capacity- building also needs to serve to mobilize the media and social networks to promote positi ve well-being and respect for rights of citi zens who are victi ms of human rights abuses.

PRIORITY 2: PROMOTING ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL WELL-BEING, CITIZEN SECURITY AND JUSTICE

Outcome 2: By 2017, insti tuti onal and human capaciti es in facilitati ng the goal of universal access to responsive, safe, and quality health services across the life cycle are strengthened

Outcome 3: By 2017, boys and girls regardless of social status, ethnic group, cultural or religious affi liati on and place of residence (urban/rural) have expanded access and increased opportunity to complete a basic, quality educati on up to at least secondary level.

Outcome 4: By 2017, enhanced insti tuti onal and line ministries’ capacity to implement Belize’s nati onal citi zen and violence preventi on response plans (including Belize’s agreed acti ons under SICA and CARICOM social development and crime preventi on plans).

Outcome 5: By 2017, line Ministries, local government and selected nati onal research insti tuti ons have enhanced capacity for developing and evaluati ng evidence based social policy

These outcomes correspond to MDGs 4, 5, 6, and 7 as well as to the Horizon 2030 goals of fostering the development of healthy and producti ve individuals through the life cycle. They conform to the comprehensive noti on of well-being, measured by UNICEF in six dimensions: material well-being; health and safety; educati onal well-being; family and peer relati onships; behaviour and risks and subjecti ve well-being. Poverty in Belize is a complex and multi -faceted outcome of a wide range of controllable and uncontrollable variables including global economic recessions which have signifi cantly aff ected the country’s economy, periodic natural disasters, unequal access to economic and educati onal resources, health protecti ve assets and less than meaningful civil society and politi cal engagement. Development challenges, including systemic conundrums and fi xable problems, can be found across sector, gender, geographic, ethnic, socioeconomic and lifecycle areas and contexts.


While the overall rate for pupils completi ng primary school, and the completi on rate for girls is almost fully on track for achieving the respecti ve MDG and associated targets, the educati onal system in Belize is challenged by a variety of barriers. A serious source of concern is the low and declining rate of enrolment in secondary educati on which has a direct impact on the current nati onal human resource constraints. A variety of factors have been underscored as contributi ng to low transiti on to secondary school and dropping out, among them poor performance, cost, transportati on, gender roles, classroom dynamics, school material and quality and moti vati on. Among the impediments to educati onal access in Belize, cost has been identi fi ed consistently as a major barrier. In additi on, the geographic distributi on of schools and teachers is not aligned to the populati on distributi on in the country and furthermore, poorer districts such as Toledo fare worse in terms of number of schools and trained teachers proporti onate to the schooling populati on served. Another key issue linked to educati on quality is teacher training. Presently, the proporti on of fully trained or adequately training teachers within the primary and secondary educati onal levels is less than a half of the nati onal teaching populati on.

There have been some clearly identi fi able successes in the health sector, including in the area of vaccine provision, improved access to anti -retroviral therapy for AIDS pati ents, preventi on of perinatal aids transmission, nati onal health insurance and the completi on of a sexual survey study. Overall, Belize is undergoing an epidemiological transiti on from a nati onal health profi le characterized by high levels of communicable diseases (CDs) to one that is primarily characterized by non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The absence of communicable diseases and infecti ous diseases such as tuberculosis and malaria as leading causes of mortality refl ect the usual development transiti on to more of a lifestyle illness patt ern. In general, health indicators in Belize show improved life expectancy and infant mortality rates which are commendable achievements. However, improvements in quality of life, decreases in some preventable causes of death and illness and in the prevalence of chronic undernutriti on among children under fi ve years of age (especially indigenous children), remain major health challenges.

There is a pressing need to implement preventi on eff orts to reach those at high risk for HIV and STI rates, and confront the ongoing sti gma surrounding HIV/AIDS, as data show low levels of knowledge regarding transmission risks. Sanitati on infrastructure remains a challenge, parti cularly in rural areas. Lack of att enti on to mental health concerns also requires renewed eff orts.

A major constraint to improved health is linked to signifi cant under-capacity with respect to trained personnel and data systems. The geographical inequaliti es in health are primarily caused by reduced access to health care faciliti es and the distributi on of health care providers throughout the country with rural areas being signifi cantly disadvantaged in these respects. The fact that the requisite fi nancial and human resources are not proporti onately allocated throughout the health system means that health care quality is weakened and health data integrity is compromised in the collecti on process as monitoring protocols cannot always detect omissions and errors.

The major dimensions of citi zen insecurity in Belize include a high and rising crime and murder rate, gang acti vity, the drug trade, and increasing reports of gender and intra-family violence. The murder rate in Belize is one of the highest in the world (41.7 per 100,000 in 2010) and the 2009 data show that the rate increased by 50% since 2001. Increased narcoti cs traffi cking, already a major cause of crime and violence in Belize, represents a substanti al threat to the future of Belize. Belize is already a trans-shipment point and is potenti ally a signifi cant route for illicit drugs and human and arms traffi cking.

Crime and violence have multi ple drivers but increasingly in stakeholders’ analysis of likely primary factors, poverty is consistently identi fi ed as a key cause. Unemployment, marginalizati on, poor educati on, poor housing, living conditi ons and entrenched cultural norms regarding gender roles play important symbioti c roles in generati ng and sustaining impoverishment. Another key element has to do with capacity gaps in state insti tuti ons that relate to


rule of law such as the criminal justi ce and judicial systems. Consequently, strategies to respond to these challenges need to combine a social preventi on dimension in additi on to strengthening capabiliti es of justi ce administrati on, including consolidati on of mechanisms for greater coordinati on and oversight functi ons.

Eff orts to improve the quality of, access to and uti lizati on of social and protecti on services points to the need to focus on capacity building in the public sector. There is a need to enhance nati onal capacity for the formulati on, monitoring and evaluati on of nati onal social policies that are evidence-based and designed to improve the overall quality of life for all Belizeans and parti cularly the social well-being of the most vulnerable populati ons in Belizean society including children, the impoverished and minoriti es.

PRIORITY 3: ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE MAINSTREAMED INTO PUBLIC POLICIES AND DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES

Outcome 6: By 2017, Public policies and development processes are mainstreamed with cross -cutti ng environmental, disaster risk reducti on and climate change dimensions

This prioriti zed outcome corresponds to MDG 7 which aims to ensure environmental sustainability and to the development targets identi fi ed in Horizon 2030: Belize for All, Belize’s long-term nati onal development plan, which recognizes the natural environment as the source and basis for the country’s future economic and social progress.

The core and associated challenges ti ed to environmental and natural resources management; disaster risk reducti on and vulnerabiliti es to climate change are at the center of the environmental sustainability equati on for Belize. There are obviously strong causal relati onships between the state of the environment and human well-being and so by extension, the vulnerability of a populati on is directly based on the extent of their exposure to environmental challenges, their sensiti vity to negati ve environmental impacts and the ability or inability to cope or adapt to natural or man-made environmental problems. The majority of the throughput and the derived revenues for Belize’s economy depend on the natural environment thereby requiring that sustainability issues, miti gati ng vulnerability to natural disasters and the importance of adaptati on to climate change need to be placed at the center of the Belize’s nati onal developmental agenda.

As a low-lying coastal state located in a tropical hurricane prone zone, Belize’s populati on is perennially exposed to the impacts of major tropical cyclone systems and hydro-meteorological events. Climate change is predicted to increase the populati on’s exposure to natural hazards. Unsustainable management practi ces such as unchecked mangrove clearance, unmanaged slope agriculture and the conti nued concentrati on of people in highly exposed areas are set to magnify the predicted impacts associated to climate change. Climate change can magnify disaster risk, not only because of the increase of extreme climate events but because it how it infl uences the drivers of vulnerability, among them food insecurity, loss of ecosystem and migrati on.

The cycle of poverty, environmental degradati on and vulnerabiliti es must be closely examined in the Belizean context. Previous studies have noted that frequent recurrences of natural disasters can be a key trigger to the dramati c increases in poor and indigent households as communiti es coping capaciti es are constantly eroded with insuffi cient recovery period between events. Reducing urban and rural poverty becomes a criti cal part of a viable strategy to eff ecti ve disaster risk reducti on. Integrati ng development, environmental policies, environmental health and educati on for eff ecti ve disaster risk reducti on provides an opportunity for a joint response by UN, the government and other development partners. Given that approximately one half of Belize’s populati on is concentrated in coastal populati on centers and that the country’s economy is highly dependent on commodity exports and tourism, the nati on’s economic and social exposure becomes signifi cantly increased when one considers the compounding eff ects of climate change.


The need to develop a more systemati c approach to the issue of unsustainable practi ces, to rati onalize and make more coherent the large number of frameworks, policies, and legislati ve instruments to ensure bett er coordinati on, management and enforcement has been consistently identi fi ed as criti cal in situati onal analyses of environmental management in Belize. Implementati on and enforcement of environment and natural resources management acti ons have been hampered by insti tuti onal capacity gaps and key insti tuti ons that are directly responsible for the management of Belize’s environment and natural resources are under-resourced, under-staff ed and face important individual human capital weaknesses that must be addressed if notable progress is to be achieved. Another issue raised in numerous technical analyses was that of shared responsibility, the need for strong local-level stakeholder involvement and that community buy-in and robust parti cipati on is indispensable. Future strategic interventi ons for this UNDAF therefore presuppose investment in capacity-building with local-level partners, identi fi ed acti viti es informed by robust planning initi ati ves and implemented with the understanding of the evident relati onship between sustainable practi ces and future economic benefi ts.

PRIORITY 4: DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE

Outcome 7: Democrati c Governance, Capacity Development, Eff ecti veness and Responsiveness enhanced

This priority responds to MDG 8 and to Horizon 2030: Belize for All’s prioriti zed focus on Democrati c Governance as key development pillar. Challenges in governance also serve as a major impediment to achieving development goals. Core challenges for Belize include weaknesses in rule of law insti tuti ons; barriers to transparency and accountability; obstacles to greater parti cipati on, parti cularly for women in nati onal politi cs and defi ciencies in establishing a human rights culture. Crime, violence and citi zen insecurity have multi ple drivers which also block and undermine the att ainment of a range of rights and which are linked, among other contributi ng factors, to youth exclusion, lack of economic opportunity, lessened access to high-quality educati on and health services and negati ve patt erns of gender socializati on.

Barriers to improved governance have also been identi fi ed in the area of public expenditure management and more broadly public administrati on, where lack of suffi cient capacity development was noted in the areas of evidence-based policymaking; strategy and planning; monitoring and evaluati on; human capital development and informati on and communicati ons technology (ICT) promulgati on. The need for bett er aid coordinati on and inter-sectoral collaborati on was also identi fi ed so as to leverage the limited thresholds of development cooperati on allocati ons for Belize from its bilateral and multi lateral development partners.


IMPLEMENTATION

Resident and non-resident UN agencies have had established programmes in Belize for many years and have developed strategically important and eff ecti ve working relati onships with their governmental and non-governmental counterparts that are based on mutual trust and understanding. The parti cipatory and inclusive manner in which the UNDAF has been formulated refl ects the strength of these relati onships and the high level of commitment to the common objecti ves of the UN system and nati onal partners. This modality has been strengthened through the process of the formulati on of the UNDAF and it is hoped that the eff orts of coordinati on conti nue through the implementati on phase.

The UNDAF is developed at a strategic level, which consti tutes the basis upon which each U.N. agency prepares its programme of cooperati on with Belize. These programmes will further defi ne the commitments of the partners, including the specifi c interventi ons which support the achievement of the key outcomes of the UNDAF. The contributi ons and the specifi c interventi ons of the UN agencies will be consolidated in the Country Programmes and Acti on Plans of each agency. The programmes and plans of the UN agencies will be aligned with the framework of Belize’s long-term nati onal development plan, Horizon 2030, as well as with respecti ve sectoral plans and strategies to ensure that planned interventi ons contribute eff ecti vely to nati onal development prioriti es and have full nati onal ownership. As such, the formulati on and implementati on of the interventi ons will be coordinated with the respecti ve nati onal counterparts and furthermore, progress will be reviewed annually in jointly held assessment consultati ons with key nati onal partners.

This UNDAF will be implemented through the programmes and projects approved by the UN resident and non-resident agencies and the Government of Belize. The UNDAF, parti cularly the Results Matrix, will guide the work of all parti cipati ng UN Agencies and their respecti ve programmes and projects will be linked directly to the UNDAF outcomes. The United Nati ons Country Team (UNCT) will acti vely seek collaborati on with other internati onal development partners in order to strategically contribute to meeti ng nati onal goals and the MDGs.

Coordinati on between the UN agencies, Government of Belize and other development partners is essenti al to the eff ecti ve implementati on of the UNDAF. The UNCT will work to ensure the overall coordinati on and implementati on of the UNDAF in the 4 priority areas for development cooperati on and will seek to ensure results-based management of the themati c areas through the eff ecti ve monitoring and evaluati on of the results outlined in the UNDAF Matrix. Additi onally, the Monitoring and evaluati on framework will also be used to identi fy necessary modifi cati ons to the programmati c interventi ons and overall development cooperati on programme if required.

Other groups involved in the implementati on will include the UN Interagency Themati c Groups (UNTG’s) on: (1) Monitoring and Evaluati on, (2) United Nati ons Emergency Technical Team and (3) HIV/AIDS. The interagency Monitoring and Evaluati on Group will include broad membership comprising senior level offi cials from UN Agencies (resident and nonresident). This body will ensure a unifi ed policy directi on at all stages of the implementati on process and will enrich collaborati ve eff orts with senior nati onal operati ves. This group will provide broad guidance for the UNDAF and support harmonizati on and alignment of the government’s strategy with UN assistance so as to contribute to increased eff ecti veness of offi cial donor assistance while ensuring nati onal ownership of the process. It will also ensure that the common Monitoring and Evaluati on arrangements agreed are followed.

The UNCT, through the Interagency Monitoring and Evaluati on Group, will be specifi cally responsible for providing technical guidance for the UNDAF process so as to ensure eff ecti ve coordinati on among all UNTGs. Therefore,


the UNCT can identi fy possible complementary acti ons; can act as or convene taskforces on cross-cutti ng issues; oversee the general monitoring and evaluati on of UNDAF and ensure the conti nued relevance and eff ecti veness of the UNDAF.

At the operati onal level, the interagency Monitoring and Evaluati on group’s membership will comprise of the UNCT including relevant UN programme staff and also the ongoing and permanent collaborati on of the Resident Coordinator’s Offi ce. Coordinati on with representati ves from the government, internati onal development partners, private sector and civil society would be required at this level as well as these groups will be responsible for UNDAF implementati on. UNTGs and the Resident Coordinator’s Offi ce will coordinate annual reviews, the fi nal review and will provide necessary oversight by arranging joint fi eld visits and other data gathering acti viti es to analyse UNDAF programmes and projects as required. Every eff ort will be made to facilitate and promote joint programmes and initi ati ves and close working relati onships will be maintained with the government and civil society at all stages in the programme cycle.


MONITORING AND EVALUATION PLAN

In order to ensure adequate follow-up and evaluati on of the UNDAF, a Monitoring and Evaluati on system will be developed with relevant indicators synchronized with other follow-up instruments so as to eff ecti vely measure progress in the targeted results of the UNDAF. The M&E system will coherently incorporate frequent cursory and analyti cal reviews of the programmes and plans of acti on of the UN agencies parti cipati ng in UNDAF.

Monitoring and evaluati on is intended to assess progress towards achieving the expected results of the UNDAF, as defi ned in the UNDAF Results Matrix. The UNDAF ITGs working under guidance of the UNCT and in collaborati on with the Government of Belize, will have responsibility for M & E acti viti es. The UNDAF Results Matrix describes the expected results of the UN system in Belize, the role of partners and the resource mobilizati on targets. The monitoring and evaluati on system outlines indicators, means of verifi cati on for each outcome, targets for measuring success and key risks and assumpti ons. Therefore, both the M & E system and the Results Matrix will be used in monitoring and evaluati on acti viti es and will be examined each year to assess ongoing relevance to Belize’s development agenda and allow for appropriate modifi cati ons.

To the extent possible, the necessary monitoring data and informati on will be obtained from nati onal stati sti cal databases and systems, with emphasis on the existi ng reporti ng system for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This will ensure alignment with nati onal processes of monitoring and evaluati on, while at the same ti me reducing transacti on costs and contributi ng to improve nati onal capacity for follow-up and accountability in the results of UNDAF. In implementi ng M& E, parti cular att enti on will be placed on data and programmes concerned with assessing improved rights and benefi ts to vulnerable groups. UNDAF M&E acti viti es will be aligned with nati onal M & E processes, parti cularly the acti viti es of the Medium Term Framework that are linked to Horizon 2030 and sector-based plans and strategies. The UN system will conti nue to support the development of those strategies as a key nati onal governmental system for the monitoring of nati onal indicators, UNDAF indicators and MDGs in Belize.

UNDAF Annual Review/Middle Term Review: Those mechanisms will provide periodic opportuniti es for UN agencies and nati onal partners to review the contributi on of the UN system to the achievement of nati onal goals based on the UNDAF Results Matrix. Moreover it will provide the chance to re-assess the UNDAF to ensure its conti nued relevance. Interagency Themati c Groups’ reviews of progress towards UNDAF outcomes will feed into the Annual and Middle Term Reviews. Additi onally, the conclusions and recommendati ons from the Annual and Middle Term Reviews will be collated into short reports that will provide input into the RC’s Annual Report, Agency Annual Work Plans and Final Evaluati on. Annual reviews will be scheduled for the last quarter of each year and Mid-Term Reviews will be done two years aft er the beginning of the implementati on of the UNDAF and will be harmonised and aligned with the annual reviews and mid-term reviews of the nati onal development strategies.

UNDAF Final Evaluati on: The UN System along with its partners will conduct an UNDAF Final Evaluati on in 2015 which the penulti mate year of UNDAF cycle. This fi nal evaluati on will assess the results of the UNDAF in terms of: impact, relevance, sustainability, eff ecti veness and effi ciency and as an overall mechanism aimed at assisti ng with the achievement of nati onal development goals and strengthening coordinati on and collaborati on among UN agencies. It will also highlight “best practi ces” to help lay the foundati on for future Common Country Assessments (CCAs) and subsequent UNDAFs.
