Delivering as One

In 2006, the UN Secretary General’s High Level Panel on System-wide Coherence, which Prime Minister Luisa Diogo from Mozambique co-chaired, made recommendations, which led to the Delivering as One reforms.

In 2007, the Government of Mozambique agreed that Mozambique should be one of the eight pilot countries for Delivering As One. Subsequently, the UN Country Team developed a range of mechanisms and structures to move forward, including the finalization of the Delivering As One operational plan and start-up of the “five ones” (one programme, one budgetary framework and one fund, one leader, one office/common services, and one voice).

The UN system is called to become more coherent, efficient and effective, and achieve greater impact when responding to national development priorities.

The major elements towards greater coherence are

joint programming,
common services, and
harmonized business practices.
