Country Programming Framework and Resource mobilization SFS context New approach to country programming and priority setting of the Organization CPF Status of CPF formulation in SFS 3 countries - completed NMTPF/CPFs 13 countries - ongoing/planned CPF process Importance of Resource Mobilization ITS TEAMWORK! CPF pros and cons - exercise FAO country programming policies Country priorities, strategies/policies, investment plans/programmes National priorities FAO Gvt priority areas results and approaches resource requirements FAO Country Programming Framework (CPF) (4-5 years, aligned to national cycle) FAO Organizational Outputs at country level (CO, SRO, HQ) FAO Country Work Plan (CWP) (2 years, aligned to FAO PWB) Resource mobilization Corporate process and results (ONE FAO) Coordination and alignment with the UN Country programming Principles Ownership and empowerment Mutual commitment Accountability and alignment Flexibility Adherence to UN programming principles Strategic focus Needs driven and functioning as one Building on lessons learns and good practices Why CPF? Major step in transition from ad hoc project approach to midterm results driven programme approach Programme Ad hoc projects FAO Strategic Framework National level Country Programming Framework SFS priority areas of action Regional Conferences RAF regional areas of priority action 8 Informs Why CPF? Medium-term response to country needs within the frame of SF Informs Basis for more integrated and two direction process in prioritization and programming in FAO The CPF and RM Guide in brief Builds on the experiences and best practices Defines policies and principles (min. requirements) with flexibility to adapted to country specific context (NOT one size fits all) Demonstrates step-by-step approach throughout the process Points to practical tips and tools A quick overview of the CPF and RM cycle CPF Cycle UNDAF Road Map UNDAF Country Analysis UNDAF Strategic prioritization UNDAF M&E UNDAF results matrix CPF CYCLECPF CYCLE The RM Cycle CPF RM TARGET Plan Act Reflect Phase 1.

Setting priorities What: identify strategic areas where FAO should focus its support to the country - Priority Matrix How: Situation Analysis scope (background work; focus) Assessment of Comparative Advantages new SF/RF Prioritization focus fewer number of priorities and outcomes Principles: Alignment Complementarity/synergy Strategic direction Strategic component of CPF document CPF prioritization process Key challenges Strategic areas for FAO intervention CPF Priority areas Underlying cause/effects for specific challenges CPF Outcomes & outputs Priority Matrix Results Matrix Situation analysis Comparative Advantage assessment & Option Analysis Priorities Stakeholders Capacit y Global Stated CA Actual - Country specific Other criteria Other criteria More on prioritization criteria Preferably emerge from a dialogue with the national stakeholders Not imposed, yet some suggested for consideration High priority key strategic areas 2.High priority, although low likelihood for RM 3.Moderate priority not Gvt priority 4.Low priority no CA, no capacity Enabling conditions and capacities for achieving the results Likelihood of sustainability Ability to produce the highest level of impact Contribution to the MDGs/IADGs Prioritization process - Criteria Comparative Advantages Mandate to act FAO Global Goals FAO Strategic Objectives/ORs Core Functions Strategic Priorities KEY QUESTIONS? Does it contribute FAO global goals? Does it fall under the areas that the members want FAO to focus on SO and ORs that FAO committed to achieve? Does it require application of FAOs core functions which are recognized FAO comparative advantages? Comparative Advantages Actual CA at country level Mandate to act Capacity to act Position to act FAO Global Goals FAO Strategic Objectives/ORs Core Functions Resources Influence Partnerships Revealed CA Perceived CA Gaps Strategic Priorities Operational Priorities CPF priorities: Areas of emphasis in Africa Predominantly, livelihoods and resilience Emergency/ Post- conflict/Transition livelihoods, some training, institution building and policy advice Low-Income Countries livelihoods and resilience of vulnerable groups. Increasing attention for training, institution building and policy advice Lower Middle Income Upstream Policy Advice, Advanced Technologies and South-South Cooperation Upper Middle & High Income Within Phase 2 of the CPF Cycle: Linked RM STEPS When assessing your comparative advantage, look at what was resourced/funded in the past/track record (Resource partner matrix, profile) Ensure the CPF stakeholder list identifies the resource partners you aim to engage IDENTIFYENGAGE From issues to results Cause and effect analysis possible approach CAUSES (But why?)

Strategically position FAO... does FAO have a clear comparative advantage/niche? Review priorities and the resource requirements... what is realistic? Analyse the resource environment... who is out there? Are you ready to start? Establish the goal, outcomes, key outputs and guiding principles... is RM considered important to the everyday? Identify resource partners and match interests to priority areas... find out who is really interested Develop an Action plan (identify, engage, negotiate, manage and report and communicate results)... get practical and make it your everyday. continued...
