Title: Harmonised Approach to Cash Transfers


1
Harmonised Approach to Cash Transfers
  • Lessons Learned in Viet Nam (from a UNICEF
    Perspective)
  • Nov 2005

2
Working Mechanisms
  • Established a joint working group comprised of
    staff from 3 ExComm agencies, and staff from 2
    key Govt ministries
  • Who drives the process? We lack a driver
  • Support from ResCor Office ? Limited to
    logistical support..
  • Interest from UNCT? Absent

3
Achievements
  • TORs for both Macro- and Micro- Assessments
    provided with Framework are helpful and save work
  • However, since Govt knowledge on HACT low,
    painful process for them to accept the TOR
  • WB, EC interested and supportive we invited
    their consultants to bid for macro assessment

4
Micro Assessments
  • Agreed to treat target of Micro Assessments as
    the real implementor
  • Govt are resisting strongly our desire to micro
    assess all major partners
  • Currently doing a pilot phase on micro
    assessments as a compromise solution
  • More difficult for UNICEF because we have so many
    partners least difficult for UNDP

Assurance Matrix
6
Next Steps
  • Opportunity to harmonise Project Operating Rules
  • Need for improved monitoring
  • field trip checklists
  • Joint programme/ops field trips
  • Change in emphasis of significant of key duties
    for project officers and project assistants, as
    well as finance staff

7
Government Perspective
  • They want harmonized procedures
  • This is only the beginning real harmonization
    will come with harmonization of the operating
    rules
  • Very wary of micro assessments and dont want
    them
  • Giving them the documents to read is not enough
  • Strongly recommend a similar orientation workshop
    for Govt staff
