UNDP is a principal provider of the whole range of administrative and substantive services to the UN system organizations based at the country level and outside Belarus. UNDP shares premises with UNAIDS, UNDPI, UNFPA and UNICEF while pursuing the establishment of the UN House in Belarus as part of the UN Secretary-General’s reform package. COUNTRY MANDATE THE COUNTRY PROGRAMME DOCUMENT Programme implementation falls into main thematic areas: Throughout its work, UNDP builds on the resources of Belarusian society, notably on national and local government capacities and the NGOs. It also seeks to attract more external assistance in order to help Belarus tackle these issues. HOW UNDP WORKS The project is a sequence of activities to achieve a set of immediate objectives formulated to contribute to the achievement of a broader national development objective. The project is implemented on the basis of the project document – legally binding agreement between UNDP and other partners, delineating the plan for achieving the objectives and the means to evaluate their achievement. The project document also specifies the indicators by which progress or setbacks are to be assessed, the resources that are needed and the management arrangements. In Belarus the project document is to be signed by the UNDP Resident Representative, Minister of Economy and head of implementing agency (it can be either a governmental entity or an NGO). As soon as project document is approved and funds are allocated, UNDP contracts (on the competitive basis) the project manager – a person in charge of project implementation. The project manager acts in accordance with UNDP rules and procedures under the supervision of the national coordinator – designated senior representative of the implementing agency. As soon as the project is completed, UNDP reports to the government and donors on its results. RESULTS ORIENTATION AND SUSTAINABILITY NATIONAL OWNERSHIP The government is a principal UNDP partner in Belarus. It provides cost sharing to a number of UNDP projects. The majority of on-going UNDP projects have the ministries, state committees and state-run universities as implementing agencies. The focal points for cooperation with UNDP within Belarus’ government are the Ministry of Economy (technical cooperation) and Ministry of Foreign Affairs (other issues). CIVIL SOCIETY DONORS Cost sharing is a method by which donors contribute funds to individual UNDP programmes and projects. The standard cost-sharing agreement constitutes the legal agreement between a donor and the UNDP. UNDP administers donor contributions for implementing projects and ensures the proper auditing of project finances and reporting of project results. THE UNDP/EU PARTNERSHIP The European Union is the largest multilateral provider of international technical assistance to Belarus. UNDP Belarus cooperates with the delegation of the European Commission in Kiev who is responsible for Belarus. UNDP and the EC have implemented a number of joint projects aimed at further strengthening the infrastructure of Belarus borders to fight against international terrorism, trafficking in drugs and human beings and illegal migration.
