Box1: Delivering Development in Yemen

In Yemen, an increasing number of donors are using UNCDF’s decentralized institutional governance structure to ensure that their development assistance achieves the greatest possible impact in a manner that is sustainable over the long term. The coverage of the UNCDF/UNDP-supported Decentralization and Local Development Support Programme (DLDSP) continued to expand and reached 48 districts (from the original six in 2003).

Since its start-up in early 2004, the DLDSP has provided a unified methodology and institutional framework for supporting Yemen’s local governance system. An increasing number of donors – currently nine, including the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Governments of Italy and France, as well as the Yemen Social Fund for Development – use the DLDSP framework to channel support to local authorities through a pooled funding framework that now exceeds $12 million.

For example, German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) is now in the process of re-channeling its initiatives supporting health sector reforms through strengthened local authorities in the DLDSP pilot regions. UNICEF also is taking the same approach and has shifted its point of entry for improving health and education services at the local level – from the community to the Governorate Local Authority (GLA) structure, and through this structure to the district local authority.

The Government of Yemen introduced its current system of decentralized governance in 2001. In 2003, it requested the support of UNCDF and UNDP to build local government capacity in the area of Public Expenditure and Asset Management (PEAM) on a pilot basis. The Government also requested that this process be used to assess the effectiveness of the current decentralized system of governance and to provide recommendations for its reform.

Box2: Performance Budgeting in Support of Local DevelopmentLocal Governments are being given increased responsibility for ensuring the delivery of basic infrastructure and services in most developing countries. This increased responsibility is often hampered by the institutional environment. Service delivery responsibilities are being decentralized without commensurate resources to perform them. In short, policy debates on public expenditure management and infrastructure and service delivery tend to focus on central government

systems. While this is an essential prerequisite, UNCDF believes the impact on local governments and the importance of developing policy solutions with planning and budgeting tools at the local level, is critical to effective local development.

In supporting the work of local governments to plan, prioritize, implement and finance socio-economic infrastructure investments, UNCDF emphasizes the local planning, budgeting, management, and monitoring of public expenditures. This local public expenditure management is closely aligned to and integrated with national planning and budgeting systems.

The underlying theme of the performance budgeting dimension of UNCDF programmes is two-fold: first, it seeks to introduce accountability into the performance review, implementation and planning process. Secondly, it seeks to construct measurability through economy, efficiency and effectiveness tests. The goal is for local governments to be able to prepare and implement local development plans within national development frameworks. These plans should result from inclusive, participatory, multi-stakeholder processes and result in durable, sustainable planning, management, and financing structures. That durability should be seen through locally sustainable and targeted infrastructure and

service provision that contributes directly to the achievement of the country’s poverty reduction strategies.

The key to performance budgeting is to understand that it is concerned with all revenue and expenditure of a local government authority, not just donor support. Thus, all revenue includes local income, government transfers and donor contributions, if any. Expenditure concerns both capital (the creation of assets) and recurrent (the provision of services from those assets: a school, so education; a clinic, so health care; a road, so maintenance). The analytical core of performance budgeting is the development programme “on the ground” and, crucially, its integration of capital and recurrent expenditure from a variety of sources.

UNCDF’s policy experiment in performance budgeting was built upon the now mature experience at national and regional levels in Tanzania. Yemen is the most institutionally complete example of UNCDF practice in performance budgeting. A variety of other countries now are receiving technical advice from UNCDF in this important area. In 2006, in order to share its experiences with partners and other development practitioners, UNCDF published a book on the theory and practice of performance based budgeting, which is available on its website at www.uncdf.org.

Box3: UNCDF Support to Post-conflict RecoveryUNCDF has had extensive experience in supporting countries that are recovering from recent conflicts. These countries are frequently seeking to move from receiving humanitarian assistance and aid after a conflict is over to the early stages of economic recovery and development. In Mozambique, for example, UNCDF was one of the first agencies on the ground to help the country to recover from a long and difficult civil war. UNCDF’s pilot programme for local, participatory governance has now been upscaled nationwide as the model to deliver critical social and economic infrastructure where it is most needed. In Sierra Leone and Liberia, UNCDF is supporting the development of a broad-based inclusive financial sector to provide people with the financial services they need to rebuild their businesses and their lives.

UNCDF’s ‘local governance approach to post-conflict recovery’ stresses the role of local authorities (at the municipal, district and provincial levels) and community organizations in managing both the peace-building and the recovery and reconstruction processes. UNCDF experience has shown that local, transparent and participatory development planning, along with an inclusive and broad-based financial sector, are key ingredients to long-term social, economic and political stability and progress. Within its Local Development Practice Area, UNCDF contributes to the rebuilding of societies torn apart by conflict through:

Support to the development of policy, legislation and regulatory frameworks supporting political, fiscal and administrative decentralization reforms.

Technical and financial support to design programmes that implement an inclusive local governance approach to conflict mitigation and reconstruction of the state from the bottom up, including the reintegration of internally-displaced persons, returning refugees and ex-combatants.

The development of local-level public institutions (including the development of organizations and procedures for local level public expenditure management, public-private partnership and popular participation).

Investments in locally managed programmes to rebuild critical social and economic infrastructure, improve services delivery, and reactivate the economic life disrupted by the conflict.

UNCDF also believes that the development of an inclusive financial sector, with a variety of sustainable financial institutions, is an important and effective tool in post-conflict recovery. An inclusive financial sector supports and encourages many kinds of economic activity, encourages employment, and stimulates economic growth. It thus helps to facilitate a smooth transition from short-term humanitarian assistance to longer-term economic and social develop-ment. Through its Microfinance Practice Area, UNCDF’s builds inclusive financial sectors in post-conflict countries by:

Developing national policies, strategies and action plans designed to develop a shared vision for building a competitive, efficient and inclusive financial sector.

Identifying and removing constraints that hinder the provision of financial services to underserved markets, particularly poor and low-income people and micro and small enterprises.

Establishing multi-stakeholder investment committees in post-conflict countries that identify and finance promising financial service providers (FSPs).

Supporting the development of young and emerging FSPs through technical assistance and grant investments.

Box4: UNCDF: A Center of Technical Expertise in MicrofinanceUNCDF’s financial sector development programmes are designed to create enabling environments for a variety of retail financial service providers (FSPs), including com-mercial banks, non banking financial institutions (NBFIs), microfinance institutions (MFIs), credit unions, cooperatives, insurance providers, money transfer companies, and other institutions providing financial services. This approach also seeks to address gaps in the supportive financial infrastructure and the policy, legal, and regulatory constraints that prevent a financial sector from being inclusive. This results in a dynamic process, tailored to the realities of each country.

Although it concentrates its direct investments in its Microfinance Practice Area in the LDCs, UNCDF works to ensure consistent application of best microfinance practices throughout the UN system. This role for UNCDF, as a center of technical expertise in microfinance, was in large part derived from the 2005 Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP) peer review wof UNDP microfinance activities. This review concluded that UNCDF should play a key “gatekeeper” role to help assure that microfinance activities within UNDP were established and maintained at a level consistent with the highest global standards.

UNCDF works closely with UNDP to implement its new microfinance policy, which was adopted in response to the CGAP Peer Review. In this regard, UNCDF is now collaborating with each of UNDP’s regional bureaux to ensure the quality of UNDP programming in microfinance around the world. In 2006, for example, UNCDF supported UNDP’s inclusive finance activities in many countries (both LDCs and non-LDCs) under its joint regional programme with UNDP’s Regional Bureau for Africa. In Asia, UNCDF has agreed with UNDP to place an Inclusive Finance Adviser in the UNDP Regional Office in Colombo, Sri Lanka to provide technical leadership and high-level policy advice to key stakeholders, partners and other constituencies in the region.

Box5: Broadening Access to Financial Services in Sierra LeoneThe financial services sector in Sierra Leone is at a nascent stage. It is estimated that the demand for credit for productive purposes ranges between 90,000 and 160,000 customers with a combined loan volume ranging from US$ 24.8 to 43.5 million. Although many financial service providers have adopted a business like approach and are committed to reaching profitability and scale, the present supply of credit reaches less than 13,000 customers with a combined loan portfolio of less than US$1,000,000. Experience shows that this gap can only be overcome by building robust and professional financial institutions that are specialized in providing sustainable financial services to the lower segments of the market.

UNCDF is addressing these issues in Sierra Leone by actively supporting the development of a competitive and sustainable inclusive financial sector. Initial indications of the results of the programme are encouraging. The initiative began in 2003, while Sierra Leone was just emerging from its civil war. The programme was submitted to a joint mid-term evaluation in 2006. The independent evaluation concluded that the programme is increasing sustainable access to financial services for poor and low-income people and has thus far generated the following results at the micro or retail level (as of September 2006):

There are 42,768 active clients being served by nine microfinance institutions (MFIs). Five MFIs report more than 100% operational self-sufficiency. One MFI has branches in seven towns and seven sub-branches in surrounding areas. One MFI is in the final stages of negotiations with a major international investor. One new donor has joined the Investment Committee. US$3.88 million additional resources have been mobilized for the project.

Additionally, the programme has made significant progress in establishing and strengthening local support infrastructure and policies, particularly through support to the Bank of Sierra Leone (Central Bank) and the Sierra Leone Association of Microfinance Institutions (SLAMFI).

Box6: The United Nations Advisors Group on Inclusive Financial SectorsAt the conclusion of the 2005 International Year of Microcredit, one of the main recommendations of the Advisors Group to the Year was that “the UN should appoint a group of experts, for a limited period not exceeding two years, to see the work we have begun through to completion.” Following this recommendation, the UN Advisors Group on Inclusive Financial Sectors initiated its work in 2006 for a term of two years. The main role of the Advisors Group is to advise the United Nations system and various other stakeholders on global issues relating to inclusive finance.

The Advisors Group held two meetings in 2006 that resulted in the formation of working groups on advocacy, private sector engagement, regulatory issues and research and knowledge-sharing. Each working group defined its working agenda, which includes the following:

Developing and implementing a communications and public awareness programme that will assure that access to financial services is on the global development agenda.

Encouraging and supporting governments and their regulatory institutions to review their regulations to ensure that they encourage prudent and sound provision of financial services to poor and low-income people and to micro and small enterprises while at the same time minimizing or removing regulatory constraints that discourage financial inclusion.

A sector-based global analysis of what has worked and what has not worked based on the private sector’s experiences in building inclusive financial sectors. The results (including a special “private sector handbook”) will be published in 2008 and broadly disseminated.

Holding a series of Advisor Forums for high-level policy makers on key regional regulatory and policy issues concerning financial inclusion during 2008.

Assuring that national governments and regulatory agencies adopt common indicators and methodologies for measuring access to financial services and then gather and analyze data and other information using these indicators and methodologies in a systematic and regular way.

Collecting and disseminating learning and best practices with regard to financial inclusion and the policies related thereto and encouraging and supporting governments and policy makers who seek to adopt policies to develop and strengthen financial infrastructure at regional and local levels.

Working closely with the private sector (and particularly private financial institutions) to enhance their participation in facilitating infrastructure expansion, designing new financial products and services, expanding retail outreach, facilitating access to capital and technology, providing training and management support, and building public-private partnerships that promote inclusive financial sectors.

The development, launch and broad diffusion of key advisory messages to governments, regulators, development partners and the private sector concerning the expansion of financial services.

UNCDF is the host for the Secretariat of the Advisors Group. More information is available online at unag.uncdf.org.

Box7: The United Nations Conference on Financial InclusionUNCDF and UNDP co-organized the United Nations Conference on Financial Inclusion in June 2006 in Dakar to address the challenges and constraints to building inclusive financial sectors in Africa. The Conference assisted policy makers and other stakeholders in their efforts to assure that poor and low income people and micro and small enterprises in Africa have access to a broad range of financial products and services. More than 320 high-level delegates participated in the meeting, representing governments, central banks, multilateral and bilateral donors, the private sector, financial service providers and their networks from 53 countries including 48 African countries.

The Conference adopted the Dakar Declaration on Building Inclusive Financial Sectors in Africa and established a Steering Committee to support and follow up the implemen-tation of the Dakar Conference recommendations. This Conference and its outcome created a powerful platform for advocacy, knowledge-sharing, learning and partnership development to enhance sustainable access to financial services in Africa. The Steering Committee met twice in 2006 to follow-up the recommendations of the Dakar Conference and to work with all stakeholders, including governments, central banks and other regulatory and supervisory bodies, development partners, and the private sector to create a common vision, develop innovative solutions, establish and strengthen networks and bring greater synergy to ongoing efforts to promote financial inclusion in Africa.

Box8: Strengthening and Expanding UNCDF’s Strategic Partnership with UNDPUNCDF and UNDP have been close partners since UNCDF was established in 1966. During 2006 – the organization’s 40th Year – UNDP and UNCDF began exploring ways to bring the two organizations even closer together and to integrate the contributions of UNCDF into the UNDP Strategic Plan for 2008-2011. The aim of this strategic partnership between UNDP and UNCDF is to (i) significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of both organiza-tions, (ii) enhance their joint development impact in the LDCs and other developing countries, and (iii) achieve greater coherence, simplicity and harmonization within the UN system. The key elements of this strategic relationship between UNDP and UNCDF that have been agreed to are as follows:

Within the framework of the Strategic Plan for 2008-2011, UNDP and UNCDF have integrated their strategic planning and overall results frameworks.

UNDP and UNCDF have formulated “Development Outcomes” and “Outcome Indicators” in the Strategic Plan that will permit the two organizations to be more effective in achieving results, while relying upon each organization’s comparative advantages and added value.

At the country level, UNCDF’s contributions in its two Practice Areas (Local Development and Microfinance) will be integrated into the UN programming frameworks, such as the UNDAF and UNDP’s CPAP.

Joint Programmes will be the primary modality for UNDP and UNCDF to work together at country level and will form the basis for joint resource mobilization activities.

UNDP and UNCDF will duly recognize and acknowledge their respective contributions towards achieving their joint development results.

UNDP and UNCDF will seek to refine, broaden and strengthen this strategic partnership. The next steps will include seeking to operationalize many aspects of the partnership at headquarters, regional, and country office levels and establishing appropriate programming and funding arrangements to help support UNCDF’s activities. UNDP and UNCDF expect to make considerable progress together on these initiatives in 2007 and 2008.
