Historique

The Republic of Guinea-Bissau signed with the United Nations System in April 2016, a Partnership Framework for the period 2016-2020 which reflects the expression of the common will of the two parties to further strengthen their partnership to permanently break the a vicious circle of political instability and poverty in which the country has been bogged down for more than three decades.

The Partnership Framework sets out the expected results of the partnership and the strategic interventions that the United Nations will implement to make a meaningful contribution to the achievement of national priorities. These are the 4 following effects:

  • State institutions including defense, security and justice consolidate stability and the rule of law, democratic participation and equitable access to opportunities for all;
  • Economic growth is inclusive and sustainable to promote poverty reduction, decent employment, food security, structural transformation of the economy;
  • All citizens, especially the most marginalized and vulnerable, have equitable and sustainable access and use health, nutrition, HIV / AIDS, water, sanitation and hygiene, education and quality protection services;
  • Public institutions, civil society organizations, the private sector promote the sustainable management of the environment and natural resources, risk management and disaster prevention;

The organization of the workshop by the United Nations Country Team is part of the improvement of the UNPAF implementation framework, particularly through capacity building; results-based management (RBM); and Monitoring & Evaluation (i.e., Collection, Processing, Quality Control, Data Analysis and Reporting) - which is crucial important for promoting transparency, accountability, efficiency, effectiveness and equity in the implementation of the Government's Strategic and Operational Plan 2015-2020 ".

This workshop aims to improve the knowledge and expertise of key stakeholders involved in the implementation of UNPAF, including members of the Outcome Groups and Thematic Groups, on RMB and practical use of key M&E and implementation tools of UNPAF 2016-2020. It comprises two phases:

  • The first phase targets the UN staff involved in the implementation of UNPAF Joint Work Plans and Monitoring & Evaluation;
