description:

The good practice is on the establishment of a Programme Management Unit housing staff from all participating agencies in the UN joint programme and hosted in the ILO Lusaka Office as the Administrative Agent (AA). Technical assistance to the Programme is provided by the United Nations, with five (5) agencies jointly working together to Deliver as One (DaO). The five (5) agencies participating in the Zambia Green Jobs Programme are the International Labour Organisation (ILO); United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD); International Trade Centre(ITC); and the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). This arrangement has several positive spin offs: (1) work streams are streamlined and therefore easier to manage; (2) close oversight of the Programme management; (3) team work is strengthened; and (4) collaborations to realise DaO are easier to foster. This approach represents a departure from the management arrangements of Joint Programmes which have traditionally included either a management unit staffed by one agency staff coordinating the programme or individual staff members based in their Agency Offices.
