them into a common fund. Within this context, the Rwanda UNDAP will ensure consistency, and provide a collective, harmonized and strategic response by the UN system to the national priorities articulated in EDPRS 2. It is the result of wide consultations and joint programming with all stakeholders. At each step, through quality assurance, the UN programming principles of Human Rights, Gender Equality, Environmental Sustainability, Capacity Development and Result-Based Management were mainstreamed. Flagship programmes and joint formulation, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms are the preferred approach. The UNDAP offers consistent programming logic. The focus on results is reinforced by a monitoring and reporting system that entails mid-year and annual reviews of performance against delivery of targets at the output level. In addition, there is an opportunity to review and adjust results, activities, required resources and future targets to ensure that the UNDAP remains current and reflects UN’s continued relevance in Rwanda. Transparency will be ensured through public accountability of individual agencies for specific actions that contribute to shared results. The UN consistently seeks to improve the coherence and efficiency of its operations in Rwanda and the UNDAP builds on lessons learned from Delivering as One in Rwanda and from the experiences of the other Delivering as One pilot countries. The UN agencies working in Rwanda have collectively committed to the Vision of Delivering as One UN including abiding with an agreed set of codes of conduct that support the principles, agreed structures and mechanisms of the UN Delivering as One in the country. In addition, the UN in Rwanda ensures strong Government leadership in UN oversight mechanisms, especially through the One UN Steering Committee. Government participation in the UN programme management will be significant at structures such as the PPOC and DRGs. The UN commits to using its technical expertise and comparative advantage to support the Government fulfil its international commitments under multilateral agreements. Alongside the UNDAP development and in line with the agreement reached by UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF and WFP and UN Women, a Common Country Programme Document (CCPD) was prepared and submitted to respective Executive Boards for approval, together with agency specific Resources and Results Frameworks (RRFs). The CCPD is an extract of the contribution of the five agencies to the UNDAP. To ensure consistency with other agencies, the five agencies will plan, review and report against the UNDAP to the One UN Steering Committee. The other UN participating Agencies have also an opportunity to develop their individual Country Programmes that are aligned and harmonized with the UNDAP.
