UN Initiatives in the global conversation

The domestic and global conversation on UN Initiatives and the economic activities in the country contains valuable information that we should curate and capture in the country's Initiative Book.

In a next step, this content will be curated into further sections of the sector map, or in the sector map of the country's domestic development dashboard¹. Upon request, and depending on the availability of resources, further domestic development dashboards will be created.

Multilateral initiatives undertaken by the UN or its specialised agencies are listed behind the "International" field for each COFOG class (Education, Health,…, Public Order and Safety), or in the list at the bottom of the page.

+ A Country's Initiative Book?

+ Constraints & Indicators?

+ Achieving Synergies across Initiatives?

- explanation

Achieving synergies across initiatives Initiative management is often the weakest link in the (strategy) execution chain. Traditional project and programme planning and communications approaches insufficiently use the bundling facilities that internet and wikis offer. As a precursor for an initiative atlas, a country initiative book aims to list all development initiatives and cluster them according to their COFOG classification. In this way, proponents and stakeholders of new initiatives can easily discover what initiatives exist already. Suitable cooperative agreements can be made and double or competing efforts can be avoided early in the planning cycle.

Initiatives of developing country governments must both avoid the fragmentation of public resources and ensure a sufficient coverage of all functions of government. An initiative book can support striking such a balance.

As indicated in Reform of the Multilateral Development System: Call for a High-Level Commission (J.F. Linn, The Brookings Institution) both the rapidly rising number of multilateral agencies, and the declining average project size reinforce the risks of aid fragmentation, a lack of focus on scaling up development impact, and rising transactions costs.

Initiative books, used both by the multilateral agencies and country development stakeholders will help mitigate the risks of aid fragmentation.
Moreover, when multilateral and national initiative books are complemented also by nested Development Dashboards, the smaller project size should not be overstraining the limited absorptive capacity of poor recipient countries, it should not lead to inefficient communications with stakeholders, and it could be coupled to a more equitable spreading of the public resources.
