Emphasis will be put on maintaining and reinforcing cooperation at a strategic level in order to ensure national ownership. The Government‟s role in designing, monitoring and evaluating will be reinforced to allow government partners to better harness and internalize the impact and potential of projects and to translate them into specific policies.
Partnership Strategy. 5.1. The development challenges that the Kyrgyz Republic faces can only be addressed by a solid partnership with other stakeholders that are working towards attainment of common goals. Besides the Parliament, national and local governments, the Ombudsman Institute, political parties and the judiciary, who have to increasingly play a major role and take ownership of the country’s development, partners include donors, national and international NGOs, the mass media, the private sector and academic institutions that UNDP will work with to enhance development outcomes.
Partnership Strategy. 5.1 To ensure that UNDP's Country Program is synchronised with other development partners and that suf- ficient resources are available for implementation, UNDP will operationalise its Country Program under the leadership of the Government and on the basis of a comprehensive partnership strategy aimed at leveraging human, financial and technical assets and capacities.
5.2 As a United Nations Agency, UNDP's main strategic partner will be the Government of Armenia. As part of on-going efforts to facilitate responsible "donor ship", UNDP will also work in close cooperation with the agen- cies, organisations, institutions, foundations, missions and companies that are committed to the UNDAF goal of reducing political, social and economic inequality and to the efficient implementation of UNDP's Country Program.

Efforts will be made to associate SAARC DM Centre, ICIMOD, Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, WWF, XXXX and other national/ regional or international organizations and humanitarian agencies with the activities along with the national nodal agencies for DRM in each project country. Coordination with stakeholders will be undertaken through the orientation workshops, consultation meetings, bilateral interactions and dissemination of project reports. Selected stakeholders would be involved in undertaking various activities of the project including intergovernmental organizations such as SAARC Project title and ID (ATLAS Award ID): TBD
Partnership Strategy. 73. The strengthening of strategic partnerships with the Government and development partners is critical for the success of the country programme. Partnership with government involves providing technical and financial support to MoFED, MoHS, MSWGCA, MEST and XXXX. Based on their comparative advantages, UNFPA will continue to collaborate with NGOs and CBOs for implementation of various aspects of the programme. In the spirit of “Delivery as One (DAO)” and the overall UNDAF implementation strategy, UNFPA will partner with other UN agencies for better coordination and harmonization of UN programmes in the country.
74. UNFPA will support M&E capacity of partners to improve on both qualitative and quantitative programme results reporting. Moreover, in order to address the entrenched and diverse socio-cultural and economic challenges in communities, traditional and religious leaders will be engaged for the sustainability of all interventions.
75. Efforts at improving data availability will involve the conduct of the Demographic and Health Survey and National Population and Housing Census 2014. A comprehensive set of data will be generated and analysed for decision-making, programme formulation and performance review. Implementing partners will be supported to generate programme level data for measuring their respective contributions to the country programme outputs.
76. The sexual and reproductive health of adolescents and young people will be given special attention within the framework of “The Multi-sectoral Programme on Adolescents and Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health”. Under this single partnership strategy, UNFPA will support priority actions for all relevant stakeholders with the goal of improving the sexual and reproductive health of the target population.
77. Under the UNDAF framework, UNFPA will work closely with other UN agencies and Development Partners to engage Parliamentarians and Civil Society to advocate for the allocation and release of adequate funds to the health sector to address the critical challenges of maternal mortality and morbidity, including the provision of sexual reproductive health services.

Partnership Strategy. Complex development issues, multidisciplinary by nature, can be addressed only in close partnership with other institutions and organizations. The goal of UNDP is to maximize the potential of partnerships concentrating on the areas where it has clear value added and competitive advantages. Following the principles of aid effectiveness and coordination, as stated in Chapter IV of the JCPS document, UNDP activities will be in line with the ‘priorities for improved alignment,’ as articulated in Chapter VI of the afore‐mentioned document. As such, UNDP will further increase its role in facilitating donor and partner coordination; active participate in coordination DCC and governmental working groups, and develop common procedures and implementation tools, in addition to other effective coordination and collaboration techniques. Implementing partners will be selected based upon a competition‐based scheme; joint programming and project implementation will be pursued to achieve greater efficiency and ensure alignment with the UNDAF and work of other UN agencies, government strategic plans, as well as JCPS priorities.
Partnership Strategy. 46. The successful implementation of the programme resides on a strong partnership strategy with Kosovo institutions, civil society and private sector partners, UN agencies and other international organizations.
47. UNDP’s work to develop and strengthen the capacity of many Kosovan institutions over the last ten years led to strong partnerships that can serve well the development objectives set in this programme. In the implementation of development interventions in the coming years, UNDP will work closely with the Ministry of European Integration, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Local Government Administration, the Ministry of Public Administration, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Communities and Returns, the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, the Kosovo Judicial Council, the Agency of Statistics, and other agencies and ministries.
48. Sustaining and enhancing relations with bilateral donors is a top priority, including Norway, Swiss, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Japan, Belgium, Luxemburg, UK, Finland, as well as the Czech Republic and Turkey. Developing partnerships and collaboration with XXXXX, ICO and OSCE in the area of justice and security, with the World Bank and the IMF in the area of economic and employment policy and strategy implementation, and strengthening the dialogue and partnership with ECLO is key for a more strategic and coordinated approach to programming development assistance. The UN Development Coordinator participates in donor coordination meetings convened by ECLO, representing all UN agencies. In 2010 the UN facilitated participation of Kosovo in the OECD survey on aid effectiveness. The Aid Management Platform established with ECLO support is still not functioning well. The Ministry of European Integration approved in June 2011 a regulation establishing sector coordination groups. UNDP will actively participate in the sector-based donor coordination and where necessary will support it. UNDP will play an active role in coordination mechanisms related to the UN Common Development Plan and the UN Strategic Framework.
Partnership Strategy. UNDP promotes coordination, efficiency and effectiveness of the United Nations System as a whole at the country level. Moreover, UNDP will continue to build on its partnership with the Government at all levels, as well as with international organizations such as the International Organization for Migration (IOM), donors and relevant organizations of the United Nations System, including the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), and Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). UNDP will work closely with multilateral funding sources such as the World Bank- administered Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) and the African Development Bank (AfDB).
Partnership Strategy. UNFPA Yemen CO will partner with other UN agencies particularly UNICEF and WHO to implement the Secretary General Joint Action Program for women and children (2010) aiming to monitor the progress towards achieving MDG 4 and 5 at the country level and to support the government’s efforts to achieve MDG 5 given the high maternal mortality and morbidity in Yemen.
