Sub-recipient Minimum Capacity Requirements
In relation to each existing and new grant, UNDP requires a detailed mapping and analysis of its responsibilities and the corresponding capacities of each Country Office (CO) to effectively manage the associated accountabilities and risks. UNDP is included under the UN policy for the Harmonized Approach to Cash Transfers which requires, inter alia, that UN agencies adopt a risk management approach and select specific procedures for transferring cash on the basis of the joint assessment of the financial management capacity of implementing partners (IPs).
UNDP has determined that Sub-recipients (SRs) should meet minimum institutional and technical capacity requirements to sign an SR agreement with UNDP. The UNDP CO should assess whether the potential SRs meet the minimum requirements detailed in Box 1 below.
|
Box 1. Minimum requirements for Sub-recipients
|
In addition to the minimum requirements, capacity assessments can also include a review of:
- experience and expertise of the civil society organizations (CSOs) in implementing Global Fund activities or similar projects; and
- experience in managing SSRs carrying out Global Fund activities or contractors providing goods and services (10 percent of SR budget maximum); and technical assistance to other organizations where applicable.
Practice PointerCSO capacity often hinges on the competence of a few key individuals and should be assessed in great detail; staff rotation should also be carefully assessed.
Note on UNDP accountability for SSR capacity: While UNDP does not enter into a contractual agreement with an SSR, it is nevertheless indirectly accountable for the capacity of SSRs, where applicable, to effectively implement, monitor and report on programme activities. Therefore, UNDP must assure that the SR has the requisite capacity to adequately assess its SRs (the SSRs of the PR), following the detailed process outlined in this manual and to ensure that risks are identified and a plan to address them is developed. The UNDP guidance in this manual can be provided to the SR.
