Decision
Point
10 per cent rule for pooled funds
Inter-agency pooled funds supplement and build on existing agency funding mechanisms
To act as centers of gravity for aligning overall assistance, pooled funds should channel at least 10 per cent of total aid in a particular area.
Some facts on inter-agency pooled funds:
• UN humanitarian pooled funds: 12 % of total non-core
• UN development pooled funds: 5 % of total non-core
• Only one out of > 20 Delivering as One Funds has consistently reached 10 % benchmark of total expenditures
UNDG Joint Funding Mechanisms
1. Joint Programmes – 3 ways to manage• Pass-Through (MOU & SAA) • Pooled (agencies work with same implementing entity)
• Parallel
2. Multi-Donor Trust Funds (MOU & SAA)• Country-level (incl. DAO/One Funds)• Global-level
3. Bilateral UN to UN Transfers
Joint Programme, using pass-through
• Two to five UN Organizations develop a JP with common results framework, work plan, budget and governance structure
• Joint Resource mobilisation to meet funding gap• Donors agree to channel funds through Administrative Agent with
total contributions of more than one million per PUNO (threshold)
Multi-Donor Trust Funds
• Multi-agency, uses the pass-through mechanism
• Supports a joint strategic UN programme of more than one UN organisation, such as:
- global / country level thematic objective
- One Programmes (Delivering as One)
• Used in humanitarian, recovery / transition, development and climate change contexts
• Joint resource mobilization & joint reporting
• Encourages multi-year un-earmarked contributions
• Threshold for establishment: 5 million USD / year
