2016-2021 UBRAF PCB Working Group

UNAIDS PCB Working Group to Review and Further Develop the Results and Accountability Framework of the 2016-2021 Unified Budget, Results and Accountability Framework (UBRAF).

Scope of Work of the PCB Working Group

Review the UBRAF presented to the 37th PCB and agree on a final, prioritized and more detailed Results and Accountability Framework;
Consider how to balance needs of different constituencies in terms of structure, level of detail, accountability, indicators and other performance metrics;
Draw on experience and a review of documents, interaction among members of the Working Group, and information gathered during and between meetings.

Members of the PCB Working Group

Four technical experts nominated by member states

Germany: Dr. Brigitte Jordan-Harder
Norway: Mr. Stein Erik Kruse
Brazil: Dr. Juliana Givisiez
Zimbabwe: Mr. Raymond Yekeye

Two technical experts nominated by the PCB NGO delegation

ATHENA network: Ms. Luisa Orza
Center for Sexuality and Health Disparities: Dr. Michael Arnold

Two Cosponsor representatives (WHO and UNESCO)

UNAIDS Secretariat staff from HQ and the field

Process followed by the PCB Working Group

Virtual exchanges to revise and input on draft UBRAF document.

Two face-to-face meetings:

A first face-to-face meeting 14-15 December 2015 ( en )
A second face-to-face meeting 2-3 March 2016 ( en )

Discussions covered expectations and gaps in the UBRAF, what the UBRAF can and cannot be given the inherent complexities of the Joint Programme, refinements to finalize the indicators, and ways of improving the presentation

Overall conclusions of the PCB Working Group

The revised 2016-2021 UBRAF – following the review and further development – represents a significant improvement on the 2016-2021 UBRAF presented to the 37th meeting of the Programme Coordinating Board in October 2015;
The revised 2016-2021 UBRAF is suited to guide the work of the Joint Programme in line with the priorities established by the 2016-2021 Strategy, enables strategic reporting, and can be used to make a critical assessment of the Joint Programme’s achievements and challenges faced in implementing the Strategy;
The UBRAF is a unique instrument – the only one of its kind in the UN system – bringing together the efforts of 12 UN organisations into one framework, and the first multi-agency results and accountability framework to be adopted under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, reflecting calls for issue based coalitions, joint programming, joint teams, and attribution to collective results under the SDGs.

Establishment of the subcommittee by the Programme Coordinating Board (PCB)

Decision of the 26th meeting of the PCB related to the establishment of the subcommittee

“The UNAIDS Programme Coordinating Board (PCB)

10.5 Take effective responsibility for oversight of UNAIDS, by revising the working practices of the Programme Coordinating Board to improve the effectiveness of its meetings, issues and changes to include the following:

j. PCB subcommittee on the UBW: that the subcommittee continue with a revised terms of reference, including an assessment of budgetary allocations to different Cosponsors; and to encourage appropriate and full representation with qualified, engaged and financially-competent participants who have a working knowledge of the UN and preferably UNAIDS, also that the subcommittee would not be a permanent structure but will be convened when relevant to the preparation of the Unified Budget and Workplan;”

Revised Terms of reference of the subcommittee approved by the PCB Bureau:
Mindful of this decision the PCB Bureau, at its meeting on 8 July 2010, agreed the following revised terms of reference for the subcommittee:
In accordance with decision 10.5 (j) of the 26th meeting of the PCB, the PCB ad hoc subcommittee is reconstituted for the preparation of a Unified Budget and Accountability Framework for 2012-2015 with the mandate to review in a general manner and make recommendations to the 28th PCB meeting on:

a. the overall priorities, scope and structure of the UNAIDS Budget and Accountability Framework, including an assessment of budgetary allocations of different Cosponsors;
b. the expected results and broad activities of the Unified Budget and Accountability Framework;
c. the performance monitoring framework, indicators, targets and financial implementation reports; and
d. follow-up on implementation of the previous decisions on the Unified Budget and Accountability Framework.

The PCB Bureau also agreed that the process for constitution of the membership of the ad hoc subcommittee should be the same as that used previously in 2009, and should also include the element of the PCB decision above that relates to the type of participant to be sought, namely that:

a. The subcommittee shall be comprised of a maximum of ten member states (two per geographical region), two NGOs, two Cosponsors and the UNAIDS Secretariat, and that the report(s) of the subcommittee be posted on the UNAIDS website.
b. That participants should be qualified, engaged and financially-competent, with a working knowledge of the UN and preferably UNAIDS.
c. Nominations for the subcommittee must be members/participants in the PCB during 2010 and 2011.

e. Each constituency is requested to submit the exact number of nominations to fill the number of places (2) on the subcommittee for that constituency.
f. If the number of nominations exceeds or is less than the number of places on the subcommittee for a particular constituency, the PCB Chair will contact all members of the constituency represented on the Board for further discussion and agreement.
g. Once the subcommittee is established the PCB Bureau will communicate the names of the members to all Member States, PCB NGOs and Cosponsors.
h. The PCB Bureau shall propose, for agreement by the PCB using the inter-sessional decision making process, a Chair from within the membership of the subcommittee
