UNDP’s Strategic Plan 2008-2011 and the 2008 regionalization paper articulate the corporate requirement to bring timely and effective substantive and technical services to the country offices through strengthened practice architecture at the global, regional and country level.
The UNDP Practice Architecture serves as a framework for better organizing UNDP to provide consistent policy advisory services, more relevant and substantive policy knowledge, better linking of policy and programming and capacity development. The value of the practice architecture lies in its comprehensive structure to solidify UNDP and its staff into a global team that ensures coherence, consistency, alignment and quality assurance in the way UNDP delivers service internally and to development partners and programme countries.
Regional and RBAS context:
The establishment of the Regional Center in Cairo (RCC) responds to the regionalization approach and the operationalization of the practice architecture. The RCC aims to provide support to Country Offices in the region through a consolidated approach pooling the efforts of regional and sub-regional programmes as well as through inter-agency coordination to meet the development challenges in the region.
The “Water Governance Programme for Arab States (WGP-AS)” is a RBAS/Regional Cooperation Framework initiative aiming at assisting Arab Countries in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); particular the water related set targets for MDG 7 on environmental sustainability.
With a wide variance in human development and socio-economical status, the Arab countries share common challenges of water scarcity and related resulting problems that affect the countries in different aspects and at different levels. Now past the mid-point of the time frame for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the Arab region still faces serious challenges in achieving the water set target of reducing by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water.
