ESTIMATED RESOURCEREQUIREMENTS

Theestimatedfinancialresourcesrequiredby the United Nations system in Georgiafor its contribution to theachievementofthe UNDAF outcomes are included in theUNDAF results matrices in Annex A andsummarizedinTable1inAnnexB.Theto-tal anticipated resources to be mobilizedinsupportofUNDAFstrategies inGeorgiaamounttoUS$188.5millionoverthe2011-2015period.Thefiguresare indicative,as

theyincludeboththefinancialallocationsbyeachparticipating UN organisation, or core resources,andaprojectionoffinancialresourcesthatorgan-isationsexpecttomobiliseduringtheUNDAFcycleinadditiontothesecoreresources.Theestimatedfinancial requirements translate into a combinedaverageannualbudgetofUS$37.7million.

AsseenfromTable1,thedistributionofresourcerequirements by UNDAF outcome is as follows.Over half, 54.1 percent of the resource require-mentsaretakenbythematicareaPovertyReduc-tion,(US$102million).ThematicareaDemocraticDevelopmentaccountsfor26.9percentofresourcerequirements, (US$ 50.7million), and 19 percentof requirements relates to thematicareaDisasterRiskReduction, (US$35.8million).The largeallo-cationtowardsPovertyReductionisexplainedand

justifiedbysignificantoperationalactivities.There-sourcerequirementsforDemocraticDevelopmentandDisasterRiskReductionforaconsiderablepartrelate to capacity supportanddevelopmentproj-ects inkeyadministrationsprovisionofpolicyad-vices and technical support, and preparation andimplementationofreformactivities.

In terms of agencies, the estimated financial re-source requirements of the ExCom agencies –UNDP,UNFPA,UNICEFandWFP(PRRO)–accountfor69.1percentof the total: specializedagenciesandUNHeadquartersentitiesaccountforthebal-anceof30.9percent.

TheUNCTandtheResidentCoordinatoronbehalfofallUNagenciesandindividualUNagencieswillundertake fundraising efforts to close any gapsbetween the indicativebudget and theactual re-sourcesavailable to implement thecommitmentsinorder tocontribute to thegreatestextentpos-sibletothestrategicoutcomesoftheUNDAF.Im-proved coherence and coordination between theGovernmentofGeorgia,anequallycommittedac-toranddonortoachievetheoutcomessetout inthisUNDAF,andUNagencieswillcontributetosuc-cessfulresourcemobilization.

Thefinancial figures,whileonly indicative, are asaccurateaspossibleatthetimeofthedraftingoftheUNDAFdocument.Resourcecommitmentswillcontinue to be made only in agency programmeand project documents, according to the proce-dures and approval mechanisms of each agency.TheUNDAFbudgetwillbereviewedandupdatedannually to reflect the different cycles of special-isedandnon-residentagencies.

IMPLEMENTATION

The programme cycles of the Executive Commit-tee (EXCOM) agencies UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEFare fully harmonizedwith theUNDAFtimeframe,whilstWFPisoperatingonthebasisofaProtractedReliefandRehabilitationOperation(PRRO).OtherUN agencies and funds are guided by annual orbi-annual country programmes, and will there-fore go though several programming cycles dur-ingtheUNDAFimplementationperiod2011-2015.TheprovisionsoftheUNDAFwillbeimplementedthroughtheCountryCooperationFrameworksandProgrammesofindividualUNagenciesandagreedtobypartnerorganisations.IndividualCountryPro-grammesandprojectdocumentswillspecifyhowtheycontributetowardsachievingtheUNDAFout-comes. Cooperation strategies and definitions ofindividualagencies’goals,outcomesandstrategieswillbeconsistentwiththeUNDAF.

Throughout implementation of the UNDAF theUnited Nations system will manage for impact.It will collaborate with authorities at all levels inGeorgiatoensuretheUNDAF’ssuccess,givingpar-ticular importance to effective links between theState, theprivatesectorandcivil society. Inallofthe implementation activities, the UNCT will en-surethatpartnershipsarebuiltwithbroadgroupsofnational and international stakeholders.

To achieve this, establishing pro-ductivepartnershipsatthemunicipalandcommu-nitylevelwillbeparticularlyimportant.

TheUnitedNationsCountryTeamanditspartnerswillcontinuetoworkcloselytogetherforeffective
