Implementation Arrangements / Recipient UN Organizations

The Peacebuilding Fund (PBF) will fund projects jointly prioritized by the Government of the country and the United Nations. Projects will be implemented by national authorities, UN agencies, other international organizations or non-governmental organizations (NGOs), but have to be submitted through a UN entity (a ‘Recipient UN Organization’) in order to facilitate consistent accounting and reporting. All projects and respective implementation arrangements will be approved by a joint Government and United Nations Steering Committee in the country. The PBF cannot consider projects submitted outside this framework.

The implementing partners assume full programmatic and financial accountability for the funds disbursed to them. For the Recipient UN Organizations, funds are administered in accordance with their own regulations, rules and procedures. They also provide progress and financial reports to the Administrative Agent, the Multi-Donor Trust Fund Office of UNDP. All other implementing partners follow the reporting and audit principles prescribed by the United Nations.
