PARTNERSHIP FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPMENT, KAZAKHSTAN, 2016-2020
The estimated United Nations financial resources for
each PFD Outcome are presented in the PFD Results and
Resources Framework in Annex A. These contributions
include ‘hard’ resource allocations by each participating
United Nations agency, as well as ‘soft’ commitments
and various other unknown resources expected to
be mobilized during the PFD cycle. The figures, while
presented as targets, are as accurate as possible at the
time of PFD drafting; some commitments may not be
known until after the drafting is complete.
Resource targets will continue to be updated and
confirmed, according to the procedures and approval
mechanisms of each agency. Resource requirements
will also be reviewed and updated annually, to reflect
the differing cycles of specialized and non-resident
agencies.
The total anticipated resources to be mobilized in support
of PFD Outcomes between 2016 and 2020 amount to
an estimated US$ 133 813 045 at the time of writing.
About 55 percent of the total resources will be spent
under Pillar 1 (Reduced Disparities and Improved Human
Development) – US$ 73,275,445; 20 percent will be
allocated under Pillar 2 (Strengthened and Innovative
Public Institutions) – US$ 26,968,000; and 25 percent
is destined for Pillar 3 (Enhanced International and
Regional Co-operation) – US$ 33,569,600.
This reflects national development priorities as well
as aligning United Nations system co-operation with
overall development assistance. The PFD is expected to
benefit from substantial technical support from various
UN regional offices.
III. ESTIMATED
RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS
As noted in Section 2.1, considerable support will be given to securing strong Government
ownership for the PFD, through additional cost sharing. Governments usually assume
a leading role in partnership framework funding, implementation and monitoring.
Kazakhstan will be able to build on its existing achievements, including the Government’s
receptiveness to partnering with the UNCT in addressing development challenges. The PFD
will cover all programme/project phases, from planning and outreach to negotiation and
agreement, as well as monitoring, evaluating and reporting, and closure.

Additional emphasis is also being given under ‘One
Leader’ to ensure greater visibility for the UNCT as a
whole, including through joint advocacy, with agency
heads providing consistent recognition to other
agencies. Lastly, ‘Communicating as One’ offers the
opportunity to jointly show how UNCT programmes
are delivering results and promoting a coherent
image for the United Nations system, with agencies
proactively using UNCT key advocacy messages, for
example, working towards a single communications
strategy.
Key elements of PFD management and accountability
include the establishment of the Steering Committee,
Results Implementation and the Management Group,
as well as Thematic Sub-groups, alongside the
development of Annual Work Plans.
The Steering Committee will be established to provide
strategic guidance and to undertake coordinated
implementation and oversight of the PFD. It will be at a
strategic level, under the leadership of the Government
and of the United Nations Resident Coordinator,
and will include UNCT representatives and high-level
Government entities relevant to the PFD. The Steering
Committee will be co-chaired by the United Nations
Resident Coordinator on behalf of the United Nations
system, and by the Vice Foreign Minister on behalf of
the Government. Remaining operational throughout
the PFD five-year cycle, it will be responsible for
overseeing the work of results groups, ensuring
they perform within their mandate while remaining
aligned to the PFD (and national priorities), and
will undertake evidence-based programming. It will
provide a strategic overview of the United Nations
Country Results Report, as well as guidance and
direction on developing the Terms of Reference of the
PFD evaluation (see also Section V) and will oversee its
subsequent commissioning. The Steering Committee
will further ensure that funding gaps and evolving
programming priorities are addressed. It will meet as
per an agreed schedule to perform its key functions,
and a Terms of Reference for the Steering Committee
will be developed and agreed upon in consultation with
the Government.
IV. IMPLEMENTATION AND
MANAGEMENT MODALITIES
As noted in Section I, the PFD has been formulated in line with the United Nations’
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Delivering as One, which were launched in
September 2013. During formulation of the PFD, the UNCT in Kazakhstan agreed to focus
on three out of five key coherence principles of the SOPs, namely: (1) One Programme;
(2) One Leader; and (3) Communicating as One. Under ‘One Programme’, special
attention is being paid to results groups under the PFD (see below), with joint programmes
serving as best practice, to help introduce development reform at local level.

PARTNERSHIP FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPMENT, KAZAKHSTAN, 2016-2020
The
Results Implementation
and Management Group
will be set up to implement and monitor PFD results
and to develop a comprehensive Annual Work Plan
(AWP). This will translate PFD Outcomes into concrete,
measurable and time-bound Outputs and will provide
clear, normative-operational linkages. This will be a
robust and inclusive group, building upon the already
successful Inter-Agency Programme Working Group
established within the current UNDAF.
Thematic Sub-groups
will focus on six Outcomes
under the three Pillars, serving as a platform for dialogue
with partners on technical themes.
Groups will comprise United Nations staff (heads of
agencies and programme officers) as well as national
partners (Government and civil society).
Other coordination and management structures
supporting PFD implementation will comprise the
Gender Theme Group (GTG), the United Nations Joint
Communications Group (UNCG), and the Operations
Management Team (OMT).
The PFD will be operationalized through
Joint Annual
Work Plans
(JWPs) translating PFD Outcomes into
concrete, measurable and time-bound Outputs, while
providing clear normative-operational linkages. This
will enable the United Nations system and its partners
to attribute the UN contribution to national priorities.
JWPs will provide a UN accountability framework
through measurable Outputs, for which it will be fully
accountable and responsible.
The
Gender Theme Group
aims to promote gender
equality by: (1) strengthening the UNCT’s overall
performance in this sphere, including through
gender mainstreaming within the PFD and UN
programming, and through normative frameworks;
(2) creating a venue for coordination and the regular
sharing of information and experience – on actions,
programming and normative support; and (3) creating
a venue for collaboration, exploring possible joint
actions and programmes, including those relating to
communications and advocacy. The Group includes
focal points of United Nations agencies operating in the
country and will be accountable to the UNCT, reporting
to the UNCT at country level.
The
United Nations Joint Communications Group
will strengthen inter-agency communications co-
operation and will maximize the impact of UN public
information activities in Kazakhstan, providing
communications focal points. It will be accountable to
the UNCT, reporting at country level.
The
Operations Management Team
will support
and advise the UNCT in its efforts to harmonize
business operations and deliver PFD results. The OMT
will pursue higher-quality, effective and cost-efficient
support services in the spheres of procurement, human
resources, ICT, finance, logistics and transport, and the
management of UN resources. Chaired by operations
managers on a rotational basis, the OMT will comprise
each UN agency’s senior operations or administrative
officer.
