UN Specialists UNSDCF 2023 UN Specialists UNSDCF 2023 The United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for Tanzania 2022 ­2027 is the new cooperation framework rolled out as part of the UN Development System Reform in Tanzania. The UNSDCF was co-­designed by the UN System and the Government of Tanzania (Mainland and Zanzibar) in consultation with a broad range of stakeholders.

The role of inter­agency coordination functions are important resources for coordinated and coherent work of the UN Country Team implementing the UNSDCF, efficient implementation of the "Leaving No One Behind" (LNOB) commitment and the UN’s overall programmatic and policy coherence in
supporting Tanzania's sustainable poverty reduction and realization of human rights. 

Effective inter­agency coordination is also assessed as important in ensuring a
successful bridging between the previous country framework United Nations Development Assistance Plan II (UNDAP II) and the UNSDCF. To ensure continuity of key inter­agency processes, Sweden will support the UN to maintain three key positions throughout 2023. The three positions
to be supported are: i) Results Based Management Specialist (housed at the RCO), ii) Gender and LNOB Specialist (housed at UNW), iii) Women’s Political Participation and Leadership Coordinator (housed at UNW). United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) för
Tanzania 2022–2027 är det nya landprogram som FN implementerar som del av FN:s reformagenda i Tanzania. UNSDCF utformades gemensamt av FN och Tanzanias regering (fastlandet och Zanzibar) i samråd med en bred mängd intressenter.

Samordningsfunktioner mellan FN­-organen är viktiga resurser för ett samordnat och sammanhängande arbete i FN:s genomförande av UNSDCF, effektivt genomförande av åtagandet kring att ingen ska lämnas utanför i uppfyllandet av de globala målen ("Leaving No One Behind", LNOB) samt FN: s övergripande
programmatiska och politiska samstämmighet i stödet till en hållbar fattigdomsminskning och förverkligandet av de mänskliga rättigheterna i
Tanzania. Effektiv samordning mellan organen bedöms också vara viktigt för att säkerställa en sömlös övergång mellan landprogrammen UNDAP II och UNSDCF. 

Sverige fortsätter därför stödja FN till att behålla tre av tidigare fyra nyckelpositioner under det andra halvåret av 2023: i)­ Results Based Management Specialist (placerad hos Resident Coordinator Office), ii)­ Gender and LNOB Specialist (placerad hos UN Women), iii) 
 Women’s Political Participation and Leadership Coordinator (placerad hos UN
Women). The country framework that follows UNDAP II in Tanzania is called the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2022-2027 and was launched by mid 2022. Just as the UNDAP II, the UNSDCF is designed to strengthen the coherence and effectiveness of the UN system at national level and contribute to Tanzania's work for sustainable poverty reduction and the realization of human rights. The embassy's assessment is that inter-agency coordination functions remain as important resources for coordinated and coherent work of the UN Country Team implementing the UNSDCF, efficient implementation of the "Leaving No One Behind" (LNOB) commitment and the UNs overall programmatic and policy coherence. Effective interagency coordination is also assessed as important in ensuring a successful bridging between the UNDAP II framework and the UNSDCF. 

To ensure continuity of key interagency processes, this appraisal suggests that Sweden will continue to support the UN in maintaining three of the previously four funded positions throughout 2023. The positions will enable uninterrupted support to the UN Programme Coordination Group (PCG), Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning Group (MEL), and the Gender Equality and Women Empowerment and Human Rights Coordination Mechanism. The three positions to be supported are:  
- Results Based Management Specialist (housed at the RCO) 
- Gender and LNOB Specialist (housed at UNW) 
- Womens Political Participation and Leadership Coordinator (housed at UNW). 

Key expected achievements by the three financed positions during the agreement period will include: 
- final reporting on the One UN Fund under the UNDAP II, 
- joint reflections with the government on the results of the first year of the UNSDCF, 
- joint planning with the integration of the LNOB, gender equality and women's empowerment and human rights principles in the UN's work, 
-  coordination of coherent implementation. 

The focus areas of the proposed positions are relevant to priorities set out in the strategy for Swedish development cooperation with Tanzania 2020-2024 and its result areas 'Human rights, democracy, the rule of law and gender equality' and 'Inclusive economic development'.
