Cabo Verde became the first pilot Joint Office (JO) of the Ex-Com agencies (UNDP, UNICEF, UNFPA and WFP) on 1 January 2006. This was a major step of UN reform towards the harmonization and simplification of UN activities in small countries. A Joint Office model consists of a single UN office of the participating agencies, led by one representative who equally represents all the participating agencies and is also the UN Resident Coordinator. The JO has one organizational structure and a single programme/common country programme encompassing the activities and mandates of all participating agencies, and uses one set of business processes, rules and regulations under a “support agency” arrangement, and is agency-neutral. In Cape Verde, the UNDP system is used. The JO in Cape Verde became part of the group of 8 Delivering as One (DaO) pilot countries in 2007. The JO, now comprising only 3 agencies – UNDP, UNICEF and UNFPA - is presently one of the leading UN entities in implementation of the third UNDAF/One UN Programme covering the period 2018-2022, fully aligned with the National Sustainable Development Plan and with Agenda 2030. A joint UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEF Country Programme Document (CPD) for 2018-2022 will start implementation in 2018, and is based on four results areas aligned with SDGs (People, Planet, Prosperity, and Peace), with a strong focus on building systems and partnerships for SDG implementation in the country, leading to the need for innovative, creative and integrated solutions both on programme and operations.
