What works ? (i) Active participation and support by the UNCT for

UNDAF-Tamba process Personal implication of HoA Participatory approach and local appropriation:

active participation of the Regional Development Agency and the Regional Council

Information and experience sharing among agencies Strong inter-action among UNCT (Staff of UN

agencies started to meet and work together) Joint UNCT missions to Tambacounda region

17


What doesn’t work ? Process too long and too time consuming. Not focused enough, Final/End product needs to

be better clarified. A bit too theoritical, need to become operational

much faster. Process too driven by HoA. Not enough implication of In-house expertise. Working together and information sharing is

not yet part of all UN agencies’ culture. Joint finance mechanism not yet operational.

18


Lessons learned and applicable to CCA/UNDAF process:

Realistic and achievable (less ambitious) objectives. Assure that total UNCT is on-board before meeting

external partners (national authorities or donors). Manage expectations, especially among regional and local

authorities and population. UNCT needs to speak with one voice. Need for a more collegial and shared approach to

responsabillities in COTAMBA. Assure Regional/Local Authorities (Government)

appropriation in the early stages. Avoid a long and bureaucratic process. HoA implication is very positive but process needs to

implicate senior technical staff in UNCT agencies too. Improve dialogue and exchanges between UNCT
