Horizontal and vertical scaling up

  • analyzing constraints and ‘windows of opportunity’ at the planning stage
  • prioritizing institutionalization and local ownership
  • adding new components following justified demand
  • ensuring consistency of approach
  • recognizing importance of communication

Cooperation with other UN agencies:

  • joint activities for Chernobyl-affected territories (UNDP,UNV and UNICEF)
  • youth social inclusion (UNDP and UNV)
  • broad outreach through UNDP network at the local level (UNHCR, UNICEF)

Cross-practices initiatives:

  • promoting knowledge products
  • implementing cross-projects activities (students debates on Rio+20 agenda)
  • ensuring entry points

Innovative practices and new programmatic areas

  • Enriching existing programmes by complimentary activities
  • Applying global UNDP experience
  • Catalytic role of HQ support
  • Policy and legal obstacles
  • Need for a comprehensive development programme on the local level
  • Changes in perception require a lot of time and resources
  • “Channel” best practices on cross-cutting issues to the very broad audience
  • Power to bring policy solutions from basic, community level to the policy level
  • Bring policy changes to the grass-roots level
  • Assistance package to each region should be further developed to reflect its specific needs
  • Window for horizontal expansion, but also for vertical scale up
  • Specific elements of ABD projects can be transformed and tailored to local needs
  • Gradual integration of community-based approach into local decision making practices ensures sustainability of results
  • Assistance on the grass root level helps to keep the momentum of reforms
  • Work with all levels of government to ensure sustainable results
  • Comprehensive capacity development programme on the local level – cooperation with Association of Local and regional Authorities
  • Development and implementation of local strategies on improving energy efficiency
  • Building up on the partnership with municipalities
