Among key results at global level, UNDP created 2 million new jobs for women and men and 12 million strengthened livelihoods for men and women. UNDP electoral support led to registration of 75 million voters and participation of 290’00 women candidates. In Syria, Iraq and Yemen, UNDP reached over 5 million people with early recovery initiatives. UNDP’s organisational effectiveness has improved, especially since the adoption of a new balance scorecard and a revised evaluation policy.
Resultate des Schweizer Engagement der vorangehenden Phase Switzerland engaged in ensuring UNDP’s implementation of the Quadrennial Comprehensive Policy Review (QCPR) and in the elaboration of the new Strategic Plan. Switzerland prioritises conflict prevention, rule of law, governance and institutional effectiveness in its institutional dialogue with UNDP. Key results from this dialogue are the establishment of four thematic funding windows including on conflict prevention and fragility. With Swiss support, UNDP developed a balance scorecard and it introduced the International Aid Transparency Index. UNDP strengthened its evaluation function taking into account Swiss suggestions, in particular increased independence and a resource target for the evaluation office. Furthermore, UNDP improved the transparency of reporting on cost recovery.
