  1. UNITAR Workshop Impact of funding on system-wide coherence of UN operational activities for development New York, 4 November 2011 Kristinn Sv. Helgason, Office for ECOSOC Support and Coordination, UNDESA

  2. Fragmentation of funding (a) Contributions (b) Expenditures Possible options to strengthen the funding architecture for enhanced system-wide coherence Presentation outline Kristinn Sv. Helgason, Office for ECOSOC Support and Coordination, UNDESA

  3. A. Fragmentation of funding • Contributions • Diversification of funding sources • Competition for resources among UN development system entities • Expenditures • UN universal character (present in 135-140 programme countries) • Modest share of total ODA (18 per cent of total ODA excl. debt relief) Kristinn Sv. Helgason, Office for ECOSOC Support and Coordination, UNDESA

  4. (a) Contributions Figure 1 - Sources of non-core funding (DEV only, major groups, 1995-2009) Kristinn Sv. Helgason, Office for ECOSOC Support and Coordination, UNDESA

  9. # UN development entities 36 UN entities delivered operational activities for development in 2009 The top 8 entities of UN development system accounted for some 86 per cent of total expenditures in 2009, with the remaining 14 per cent divided among 28 entities (b) Expenditures Kristinn Sv. Helgason, Office for ECOSOC Support and Coordination, UNDESA

(b) Expenditures Figure 7 – Concentration/fragmentation of UN development system (entities) Less priority, less significant: 830 (47%) Priority, less significant: 837 (47%) Priority, Less priority, significant: significant 106 (6%) 6 (0%) Kristinn Sv. Helgason, Office for ECOSOC Support and Coordination, UNDESA

  12. Possible models to strengthen the funding architecture for enhanced system-wide coherence include: (a) Reform the funding system Negotiated replenishment system Negotiated voluntary core contributions Global thematic funds managed by lead agencies in respective sectors (b) Strengthen existing funding system One UN Funds, one budgetary framework, one programme at country-level B. Possible options Kristinn Sv. Helgason, Office for ECOSOC Support and Coordination, UNDESA
