Over the past year changes have been made to simplify and streamline the UN’s planning, monitoring and reporting. To reduce the time spent reporting on each UN-supported project, all 11 PCGs held annual reviews for 2008 with their counterparts from Government, as well as donors and other partners for all projects within their purview. Now, instead of having several planning meetings with individual agencies, Government ministries have only one review/planning meeting to focus on. In addition, since 2007 a single One Plan Annual Report has been prepared for Government, donors and other stakeholders. (Download the 2008 One Plan Annual Report here)  In the future this report may replace the annual reports from each of the 14 One Plan UN organizations. In addition, joint monitoring and review missions are conducted to enhance synergies. PCGs now prepare joint annual plans and joint annual reports, leading to better coordinated support, new synergies, and reduced overlap among agencies.
