[Ngo-admin] Consultancy opportunity: Country-led Evaluation of the One UN Initiative in Viet Nam

[Le Tuyet Sinh]

Message from UNDP Vietnam Procurement Unit

Dear colleagues and friends,

The UN in Viet Nam seeks 01 International consultant and 02 national consultants or Consultancy Group represented by a team leader or consulting firms/institutions to conduct a Country-led Evaluation of the One UN Initiative in Viet Nam.

In response to the 2005 Ha Noi Core Statement on Aid Effectiveness, the "One UN Initiative" in Viet Nam started in February 2006, focusing initially on five pillars of UN reform. The "Five Ones" included the One Plan, One Budget, One Leader, One Set of Management Practices, and One Green UN House. In May 2006 the "Agreed principles, objectives and instruments to achieve One UN in VN" were agreed by the UN and the Government of Vietnam.

In 2007, the UN Chief Executives Board requested the UN Evaluation Group (UNEG) to make arrangements for an evaluation of the eight "Delivering as One (DaO)" pilot countries. In 2009, seven DaO pilot countries proposed to conduct country-led evaluations of the UN reform process, preceding and separate from the independent evaluation called for by the UN General Assembly and scheduled to take place in 2010.

The country-led evaluation intends to inform decision-makers on how to enhance the role and contribution of the UN development system in support of national policies and strategies for the achievement of national development results. The evaluation will assess progress made against the strategic intent of Delivering as One, record achievements, identify areas for improvement and remaining challenges, and distil lessons to inform decision-making processes at national, inter-governmental and headquarters levels. The "Agreed principles, objectives and instruments to achieve One UN in Viet Nam" is one of the key reference documents. The findings and recommendations of the country-led evaluation will be the major input for the DaO Conference in Ha Noi in June 2010, and intended to devise a clear way forward for the further institutionalisation of the UN reform process in subsequent years.
