With the aim of achieving this vision, the focus in 2007 of the UN Country Team (UNCT), the Programme Management Team (PMT), the Operational Management Team (OMT), the Communication Working Group (CWG) and the One UN Task Force has been on the development of the One UN Concept for Mozambique within the 5 ones (One leader, One Programme, One Budget, One Premises/Services and Communicating as One).

The goals for the development process have been to clarify and share the vision and to put in place mechanisms, processes, structures and instruments that are geared to improving UN coherence and effectiveness.

In 2007, the master document for the ONE UN process “Delivering as One – Operational Plan of the UN System in Mozambique 2007-2009” was finalized. Amongst others the following key deliverables were achieved in a busy and challenging year:

• 11 full joint programmes were developed;
• the One Budget Framework and One Fund through the finalization of the MoU and LoA was established;
• TORs for the UNCT and the RC as well as Core Management Principles were drafted; The feasibility of Common premises was assessed;
• The joint communication strategy and a joint resource mobilization strategy were defined;
• The comprehensive UN staff capacity assessment was prepared,

These processes involved extensive internal consultation and discussions as well as frequent external interaction with Government of Mozambique and Development Partners.

In 2008, the focus will be on the operationalization and effective management of the implementation of the Delivering as One: One UN Operational Plan 2007-2009.
