Overview : UNDP is the UN’s global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. UNDP is on the ground in 166 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and its wide range of partners.
The UNDP Rwanda Country Office is working with the Government and other partners to respond to development challenges that Rwanda and the world are facing today. All our programmes and activities in different areas of development respond to the challenges facing the country to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), including the overarching goal of cutting poverty in half by 2015.
Our assistance framework is guided by the United National Development Assistance Plan signed between the Government and the UN Agencies in July 2013 and aligned with the priorities of the Government of Rwanda as identified in the Economic Development for Poverty Reduction Strategy II (EDPRS II) and the Vision 2020 of Rwanda. UNDP assistance is focused around 3 Key Result areas: (1) Inclusive Economic Transformation; (2) Accountable Governance; and (3) Human Development.
In addition to providing its own Core Resources, UNDP Rwanda also helps the host country to attract and use aid effectively. In addition to the areas mentioned above, UNDP Rwanda integrates in all its programmes and activities the protection of human rights, environmental sustainability, the empowerment of women and the promotion of the Information and Communication Technologies.
UNDP receives funds from donors, for which it is accountable and which it allocates to recipient countries in support of UNDP-sponsored projects aimed at achieving sustainable human development. Projects and programmes are implemented by UNDP using the following modalities: National Implementation (NIM), Direct Implementation (DIM), NGO Implementation and UN Agencies Implementation. National Implementation (NIM) is an arrangement whereby UNDP entrusts a national institution to undertake and manage, as Implementing Partner (IP), such projects.
List of Projects to be Audited: The list of projects to be audited will be determined each year based on the criteria set by UNDP’s Office of Audit and Investigation and communicated to the selected audit firm.
The objective is to give UNDP an independent audit opinion on the management and performance of the financial, operational, and project activities for projects under UNDP’s National Implementation modality (NIM). The audit will be carried out by the selected firm on behalf of the UNDP’s Office of Audit and Investigation (OAI).
