This UNDAF is particularly significant for the people of Sierra Leone because it follows the departure of UN Peacekeepers (UNAMSIL) and UN Peacebuilders (UNIOSIL and UNIPSIL) from the country. The decision to close UNIPSIL on 31st March 2014 marked the end of a

decade of Security Council engagement with Sierra Leone.

The UN family acknowledges and endorses the central theme of the Agenda for Prosperity that seeks a sustainable future for Sierra

Leone with the longer term goal of being a middle income country by 2035. It is widely recognized that the Government, the international community and private business all have essential roles to play to make that goal a reality, for which the UN family is committed to make a valuable contribution.

In the preparation of the UNDAF, as well as throughout its subsequent implementation, the Human Rights Based Approach, which emanates from the UN’s Charter, is the

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3

foundation upon which all UN activities will sit. The principles of environmental sustainability and gender equality permeate throughout the UNDAF. The UN family will work in the most efficient manner possible to obtain the results outlined in the UNDAF. The UN Country Team, including non-resident agencies, shall work together to ensure transparency and mutually supporting programmes.

The UN Country Team shall work inside the coordination structures that have been established by the Government in order to manage the contributions of the international community to the Agenda for Prosperity. In line with the Agenda for Prosperity the UN Family maintains a policy of zero tolerance with respect to corruption.

All UN activities will seek to build national capacity and, on the basis that the global policy of due diligence has been fully applied, promote national systems and national ownership in its partnerships in Sierra Leone.

This UNDAF defines the UN’s contribution, under the leadership of the UN’s Resident Coordinator to Sierra Leone, to the Government’s current Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, the Agenda for Prosperity.

The UNDAF will be rolled out in-line with the aspirations contained in the New Deal as well as the Sierra Leone Mutual Accountability Framework that follows the spirit of the New Deal.

7INTRODUCTION

Introduction

In line with global UN procedures there were four sequential stages that led to the completion of the UNDAF, which were as follows:

Road Map April (May 2013) Country Analysis (June – July 2013) Strategic Prioritization (August – November 2013) Finalization (December 2013 – February 2014)

The UNDAF Road Map was jointly written by the UNCT and the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development. The Road Map was also endorsed by the Development Partners Group and the UN’s Regional Directors’ Team.The Country Analysis concluded that there were multiple root and underlying causes that accounted for under-achievement in many developmental targets.

‘Root Causes’ in UNDAF terms were defined as attitudes and behaviour traits at different levels (families, communities and government) that require to be addressed over a long period of time. According to the Country Analysis the root causes in Sierra Leone were: a tendency for short term focus; unequal distribution of national wealth, notably revenue generated from resource exploitation that does not adequately flow back to local communities; frequently weak accountability and oversight; insufficient child protection, and inequalities in gender that were rooted in the social norms and harmful traditional practices.

‘Underlying Causes’ in UNDAF terms were defined as obstacles to development due to the consequences of policies, laws, coordination and the availability, or rather lack, of resources. These could be tackled in the relative short term. The underlying causes identified in the

Country Analysis included; lack of capacity and insufficient access to information and services provided by the health sector; food insecurity and malnutrition; high levels of youth unemployment, and unsustainable management of natural resources. Whilst good progress has been made in these areas in recent years collectively they remained “underlying causes” for under achievement. It was considered to be important that the current focus and momentum in these areas should be increased.

When the ‘Root Causes’ and the ‘Underlying Causes’ were combined and converted into programmatic sectors, where the UN had expertise, then Food Security, Land Reform, Sustainable Environmental Management, Education, Health, particularly sexual and reproductive health, child protection, Employment, Youth Employment, Nutrition, Public Sector Reform, Governance, Gender and Women’s Empowerment emerged as the UN’s contribution to the Agenda for Prosperity. These UN priority areas were subsequently mapped onto the architecture of the Government’s Agenda for Prosperity to form the backbone of the UNDAF. To enable effective monitoring and evaluation, outcome statements were added and aligned directly with the pillars of the Agenda for Prosperity to form the results table that is shown below.

Representatives from civil society were consulted twice during the design process, at the Country Analysis stage and again at the Strategic Prioritization Stage. Over thirty civil society organisations assisted the UN to draft the UNDAF. All UN agencies commit to engage with civil society organizations as an important element of the design and / or implementation of projects.

The UNDAF was finalized after further consultations with the Government and the UN’s Regional Director’s Team.

UNDAF Results

The UN family has worked well with the Bretton Woods Institutes and the traditional resident donors in Sierra Leone to form a harmonized

approach in support the current Agenda for Prosperity (2013-2018), as well as the previous Agenda for Change (2009-2012). Externally the Security Council and the Peacebuilding Commission have

helped guide international interventions. Internally the 2009 Sierra Leone Aid Policy, that is supported by regular Development Partners Committee (DEPAC) meetings, has keep the positive momentum. Looking forward, the Mutual Accountability Framework (MAF) dashboard that was agreed at the DEPAC in October 2013, which emerged from the New Deal (Busan in 2011), will guide the Government and the international community in the years ahead. Through the UNDAF the UN re-commits itself to promoting success against the Busan Peace and Statebuilding Goals and the MAF ‘building blocks’ that includes the Universal Periodic Review of Human Rights.

In October 2013 the UN revised its communications strategy for the Transitional joint Vision (2013-2014). This strategy provided a solid foundation for the UN leading into the UNDAF, so ensuring that changing UN ‘footprint’ in 2014 was well understood by Sierra Leoneans. The strategy reiterated that the decision of Security Council to draw down UNIPSIL was based on hard won progress in key political, security and democratic arenas leading to the conclusion that a standard UN configuration would be appropriate to

the situation of Sierra Leone. The UNDAF communications strategy will continue to build on such upbeat messages, that Sierra Leone is on a good path to recovery, that the changes are ongoing and positive, that the country is becoming more robust and that the UN’s configuration is in-step with the developments of the country.

Preventing ‘slippage’, however, remains at the core of the UN’s work in Sierra Leone. During the Transitional Joint Vision (2013-2014) the geographic area of Kono emerged as a priority for the UNCT. The area-based programme that was developed for Kono during the Transitional Joint Vision will be continued during the UNDAF cycle. Kono was identified as a politically sensitive area for which ‘Peace Consolidation’ efforts was considered to be essential. With the exception of Kono, there are no geographic areas of particular critical needs; in a geographically small country of just six million people all the districts are equally important for UN interventions. Consequently the UN will work equally across the whole country, with the exception of Kono that will be an area of particularly intense UN activity.

The table below sets out the UNDAF outcomes inside the broader Agenda for Prosperity Pillars. It is important to note that each PRSP pillar is significantly bigger than the UNDAF contributions shown in the table. Also, that the UN does not plan to contribute to Pillar 4, that being “International Competitiveness”, as others are better positioned to partner with the Government in that area.

9UNDAF RESULTS

The success of Sierra Leone in maintaining peace since the end of the war was due to many factors. An important factor was sustained multi-lateral interest and highly coordinated international interventions.

The UNDAF is fundamentally developmental and that represents a very real shift away from Sierra Leone’s previous ‘post-conflict’ status.

THE UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE FRAMEWORK (UNDAF) Sierra Leone 2015 - 201832

The President of Sierra Leone His Excellency Ernest Bai Koroma, the Secretary General of the United Nations Mr. Ban Ki-Moon and the Executive Representative of the United Nations in Sierra Leone Mr. Jens Anders Toyberg-Frandzen met with Sierra Leonean Police Officers that have been deployed with the United Nations on various Missions outside of Sierra Leone, alongside UN Police Officers currently serving in Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone has moved from being a Country that received peacekeepers to a Country that now contributes Peacekeepers.

UN Initiatives that are outside the UNDAF Results Matrix

The following agencies are working on projects that cover regional issues but do not specifically target Sierra Leone and therefore did not participate in the country specific UNDAF process:

The United Nations Office in West Africa (UNOWA). UNOWA is working together with ECOWAS and the Mano River Union Secretariat to support the operationalization of their recently adopted security strategy. The strategy aims at addressing cross-border threats to peace and stability in the MRU and is based on a comprehensive approach that takes into account the nexus between security and development. UNOWA is also working with ECOWAS, EU and UNDP on the implementation of a regional White Paper on Increasing Access to Modern Energy Services for rural and peri-urban populations. The implementation stage is expected to start in 2014.

United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The Governments of Chad, the Gambia, Mali, Sierra Leone and Togo are working

collaboratively in leading a regional project addressing the links between climate change and protected areas. The project (“Evolution of Protected Areas systems with regard to climate change in the West Africa Region”) will build capacity for understanding and managing Protected Areas (PAs) for the threat of Climate Change (CC) by: combining and distilling existing information from disparate sources; undertaking new research to contribute to the body of knowledge; borrowing from other fields and innovating to develop new management approaches; and ensuring that discussion, training and learning are taking place to support a strong cadre of PA managers in the region. Three other countries- Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, are be involved in trans-boundary aspects. The $3.5 million regional GEF project started in 2010 and will end in 2015 and is implemented by UNEP DEPI (GEF) and executed by UNEP WCMC. Other partners include IUCN Protected Areas Programme for West and Central Africa (PAPACO), UK meteorological office Hadley Centre, BirdLife, Durham University, IUCN Global Species Programme (GSP) and Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) University of Kent.

Note: The figures, while only indicative, are as accurate as possible at the time of the UNDAF drafting. In all cases the funds are to be secured and should not be considered as a commitment for accounting purposes.

The table below shows the financial targets against which each agency will raise funds during the UNDAF.

The MPTFO/CCF will accept u n - e a r m a r k e d c o n t r i b u t i o n s for which the in-country Joint Steering C o m m i t t e e , chaired by the Minister of State, will set priorities, by pillar, and allocate money based on a mutually agreed set of criteria.

It follows that pillars responding to the root causes as noted in the Country Analysis would be prioritized by the Government. The UN family in Sierra Leone has operated such a fund since 2009 which has in the past successfully channeled one-off contributions by countries as well as allocations from the MDG window / Delivering as One Fund. It is expected that the new Delivering Results Together Fund will also be able to contribute to the CCF.

In addition UN agencies will also allocate core funds to their programmes contained inside the UNDAF.

Regardless of the channel through which the funds arrives the formulation of each programmme contained within the UNDAF remains with the implementing agency. Each agency will follow the rules and regulations by which it is governed through its Head Quarters. Under the leadership of the Resident Coordinator the UN Country Team will work together to mobilize resources. The agencies, programmes and funds that work inside the UNDAF structure will (a) strive to keep the Government’s Development Assistance Database (DAD) that tracks Overseas Development Aid up to date, and (b) keep the Resident Coordinator’s Office informed of newly secured funding. The UN Country Team will ensure that the various funding channels are transparently operated so that the Resident Coordinator is in a position to lobby for additional funds as and when necessary.

35ESTIMATED RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS

The UNDAF will be supported by a Common Country Fund (CCF) that will be administrated through the Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTFO). The CCF will offer donors, in particular non-resident donors, a simple channel through which their contributions can be made and registered within the UNDAF structure.

Contributions to the UNDAF can be made bi-laterally or through the CCF, however in line with increasing national ownership over the prioritization of funds the preferred channel would be through the CCF.

Implementation

The central management and coordination hub for each of the UNDAF pillars will be the Government-led Pillar Coordination Working Groups, that in turn feed information to the Agenda for Prosperity Results table and the DEPAC. This is possible because the UNDAF aligns directly with seven of the eight Pillars.2

The Agenda for Prosperity is significantly broader than the sum of the UN’s outcomes shown in the UNDAF results table. The UNADF is the UN’s contribution to the Agenda for Prosperity; a contribution that should be brought to bear on the needs of the country alongside other parallel contributions from other parts of the international community, the private sector, civil society and the Government. The UN will assist the Government to organize those Pillar Working Groups for which it is a member, whilst always encouraging the Government to adopt its central role in the aforementioned Groups.

At the end of 2011 the UN and the Government of Sierra Leone developed Direct Programme Support (DiPs) that extended HACT into a wider understanding of harmonization, simplification, risk mitigation and national capacity building. DiPs has been in operation since 2012 and will be continually improved through the UNDAF. Within the UNDAF DiPS represents a common system to implement national execution through the use of common tools and procedures. The UN cannot provide direct support to the national budget, but through direct programme support the UN has a complementary role to that of donors who provide budget support.

2 The UNDAF does not contribute to Pillar Four, International Competitiveness

THE UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE FRAMEWORK (UNDAF) Sierra Leone 2015 - 201836

As country systems and processes strengthen there will be the expectation of increasing levels of national execution, for which the Harmonised Approach to Cash Transfers (HACT) will become more central to the way the UN operates.

37IMPLEMENTATION | MONITORING AND EVALUATION

Monitoring and Evaluation

The UNDAF’s monitoring and evaluation mechanisms will be linked to existing national M&E systems.

In particular each agency commits to completing the Gender Score Card on an annual basis.

The UN System will continue to provide support for further strengthening the national M&E systems as may be required.

Management of M&E: The UNDAF will be monitored using indicators, baselines and, where relevant, annualized targets. At the outcome level, indicators will be aligned as far as possible with national Agenda for Prosperity indicators, thus relying on the same means of verification used in the national report on MDG and progress reports for the Agenda for Prosperity. The UN’s Deputies’ Group will be responsible for tracking overall UNDAF performance, based on the UNDAF

M&E matrix and plan, and for promoting a harmonized approach to M&E activities. The UNCT DIPS taskforce will strengthen the role of the Deputies’ Group on M&E by ensuring regular joint assurance

and oversight activities. The Deputies’ Group will review UNDAF programmes and strengthen technical support to, (i) baseline data collection, (ii) effective monitoring mechanisms for the UNDAF (iii) joint UN data collection, analysis and (iv), reporting.

UNDAF Annual Reviews: UNDAF annual reviews will form an integral part of the Joint Strategy Meetings to assess the progress towards achieving the annualized targets and expected results,

including contributions towards the outcomes of the Agenda for Prosperity. Findings and recommendations of the UNDAF reviews will inform the Resident Coordinator’s Annual Report.

Outcome and output monitoring: At the output level, monitoring will be carried out by responsible UN agencies and their implementing partners, based on field visits, sectoral review meetings, desk reviews and reports. At the outcome level, monitoring will be conducted by UNDAF working groups and joint programme teams (as appropriate). At sectoral and programme levels, periodic monitoring and data from routine information management systems will be used to assess the management and efficiency of the interventions.

Evaluation: The timing of the UNDAF reviews will be harmonised with those of the Agenda for Prosperity to ensure that the two processes inform each other. The UNDAF Annual reviews will be conducted by UN agencies. They will examine to what extent the UNDAF results have been achieved and how they are contributing to priorities in the Agenda for Prosperity. A final evaluation will be conducted during the first half of 2018 to inform the formulation of the next UNDAF.

Capacity Building for M&E: The UN system will continue to strengthen national monitoring and evaluation capacities by providing technical assistance in data collection, analysis and reporting for the implementation of the UNDAF together with other partners. The UN will strengthen the capacity of government partners to measure development effectiveness and the attainment of Agenda for Prosperity and to collect, analyze, use and disseminate data and information.

The Pillar Conveners will play an important role with respect to coordinating the agencies in each UNDAF Pillar.

41 MONITORING AND EVALUATION

Challenges experienced during the 2013-2014 programme cycle that will roll over into the UNDAF

During the review of the Transitional Joint Vision at the start of 2014 the following challenges were noted when implementing projects that will almost certainly persist during the UNDAF cycle. During the planning for the UNDAF it will be important for all projects to build in activities that take these challenges into account, and where necessary mitigate against the associated risks that they may present.

The challenges that will carry over to the UNDAF cycle are shown below:

Delays in the movement of money through internal financial systems. This challenge applied to both Government and UN systems.

The mapping of facilities across the districts proved difficult. In many cases establishments were not labeled correctly and / or were identified with the wrong map coordinates. This affected distribution and planning activities. In broad terms reliable data was often not readily available in many sectors.

Human resource planning, and particularly staff appraisals, was not uniform across Government systems. Too often counter-parts were not of the required level to form effective partnerships given the technical skills needed to implement projects.

Recruitment of new national staff, be it for short term consultancies or regular posts, frequently proved unsuccessful as the required qualifications were often hard to find.

UNDAF Project selection: At the start of 2014 the Transitional Joint Vision was on track, in that the funding from the donors was strong and over 90% of the elements set out in the results framework registered outputs / results at the 50% point of the programme cycle. Whilst those elements that were not able to show progress in 2013 may still be able to produce results in the second half of the cycle during 2014, it is important that the UNCT does not commit to projects that cannot be started / completed within the time permitted in the programme cycle. In most of the elements that were struggling to show results there were other non-UN and / or Government partners that had a comparative advantage over the UN; during the UNDAF it will be important to ensure the careful selection of projects with respect to the landscape in Sierra Leone as opposed to adherence only to agency mandates.
