It manifests itself in the form of unemployment, underemployment, poor employment conditions and lack of an integrated approach and focuses on 5 impact areas; 1) sustainable enterprise development, 2) decent work for youth, 3) enhancing agriculture productivity, 4) skills development and 5) building labour market information systems.
Underlying Rationale• Under UNDAP: agencies deliver towards common
goals with shared results• Now step further: JPYE and other JPs are
thematically focused with integrated interventions by multiple actors
• Moving towards shared implementation and shared results
• Using and capitalizing on the competitive advantage of each UN agency at different project stages

Challenges & Mitigation Strategy
Challenges
1. Scope of the exercise vs. Agency capacity e.g. Sufficient and qualified personnel
2. UN organizations established own specific mandates
3. Accountable, empowered leader and Country Team
4. Resources Mobilization Strategy and Sustainability of One Fund
5. Competition for funds (decentralization of funding responsibilities by PUNs)
Mitigation
1. Empowerment and support to joint programming personnel
2. capitalize on the strengths and comparative advantages of the different members of the UN
3. Effective leadership, tools, incentives and sanctions for better coordination
4. Mapping of donor priorities and approaches to financing/focus on Specific, flexible and pragmatic resources mobilization
5. Objective eligibility and performance based criteria. Link budgets to implementation and absorption capacity.
Conclusion• DaO and Joint Programming progress depends on
engagement, vision, strategies and resources.• Teams are inevitable tool both within and among PUNs• The commitment and political will of all partners, all
stakeholders at field level and at HQs is imperative.• Joint programme provides an opportunity for the UN to
leverage resources, expertise and experience• The Tanzania UNDAP has brought greater
programmatic coherence, greater synergies and • has helped the UN in responding better to the national
priorities
