<p class=MsoNormal><b><u>Message from UNDP Vietnam Procurement Unit<o:p></o:p></u></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Dear colleagues and friends, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
