OUR PRACTICE

The UNDP country programme for the period 2007-2010 is anchored in three main policy and programming frameworks: the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (MKUKUTA), the Zanzibar Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (MKUZA) and the Government Joint Assistance Strategy (JAS). The country programme is firmly embedded within the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF), 2007-2010, which is also closely aligned with MKUKUTA, MKUZA and the JAS. It is further influenced by United Nations reforms aimed at greater coherence and enhanced impact at the country level.

The current programme cycle seek to achieve the following three broad outcomes:

(a) Increased access to sustainable income opportunities, productive employment and food security in the rural areas;

(b) Increased access to good basic social services for all by focusing on the poor and most vulnerable; and
(c) Strengthened democratic structures and systems of good governance and the application of human rights.

The above outcomes would be achieved through channeling UNDP support via the following main pillars holding the Country Programme:

• Enhancing pro-poor policy development and Wealth Creation
• Strengthening democratic governance and development management
• Scaling up mainstreaming of cross-cutting themes
