Key Principles for Joint Programmes

• The joint programmes (JPs) under the selected
  outputs should reflect a combination of the four
  focus areas and demonstrate how the UN family
  will work together more coherently and
  effectively in these four areas to achieve
  results
• the JPs should build on existing
  activities/programmes
• the JPs should, as far as possible, fall under
  one primary UNDAF pillar
• the JPs should address a number of UNDAF outputs
  selected as priority outputs of the One Programme
• the JPs should, in principle and to the extent
  possible, be at least one third funded
• the JPs should include three or more agencies.
