Case study – Support the National Targeted Poverty Reduction Programs
Context• NTPs were seen by the GOVN as a key
measure to address pockets of persistent poverty and increasing inequality.
• However, NTPs were seen by donors as ‘contradictory’ to the PRSP approach.
• UNDP sees NTPs as unique opportunity to strengthen national capacity and institutionalise the best practices.
The “CDF”• US$7 million, funded by UNDP TRAC,
DFID and Finland through C/S Agreement, managed under NEX modality.
• The outputs of the TA are the outputs of the NTP: improved M&E systems, participatory and targeting mechanisms, financial management system and implementation capacity at local levels.
• Time frame: 2001- 2005 – 2010.

• Independent evaluation of the NTPs – areas for improvements identified.
• Support the design of NTPs for 2006-2010 • Support the implementation of NTPs.• TA and Capacity Strengthening inputs
provided directly to central and local agencies based on their mandates/ responsibilities in and needs for better performance in NTPs.

• Outcomes M&E of the CDF = M&E of the NTPs.• UNDP comparative advantages: we are not a
donor – neutral and objective, our role in TA/capacity strengthening and MDG M&E, NEX, trustful relationship with the GOVN, rich past experience.
• Exist strategy: should we need to have one or we will be providing as much as the government requests us?
Questions• Should we put our funding to “budget
support”? What implications does Paris Declaration would mean to us?
• NEX as a parallel system or as a part of the government own system?
• Can we provide mechanisms for “absorbing fiduciary risks”?
• What roles should we be playing in the financing tools such as PRSC?
