DevInfo in Action
We have started the implementation of DevInfo at UNDP Pakistan. In 2008, UNCT agreed that DevInfo is the best tool which the UN system can adapt and adopt to support the One UN Programme in Pakistan. A DevInfo Mission from New York visited Pakistan on 21-22 May 2008 at the request of the UNCT to assist the M&E focal points to suggest ways in which DevInfo can be tailored to local needs to support the Joint Programme and UNDAF Monitoring and Evaluation, as well as creating linkages with the Government system for monitoring of aid in support of the achievement of the MDGs. The mission conducted training for the Government and UN staff and also helped in initiating the DevInfo database with the Monitoring and Evaluating focal points of the UN system.
Following this mission, a group of M&E focal points designed the structure for an outcomes database with progress indicators. This M&E system will enable review and analysis of interventions in support of the four cross-cutting themes of the One UN (Gender, Refugees, civil society engagement and human rights). The RC Office M&E focal points have been actively engaged in collecting baseline information for outcome indicators in collaboration with the five Thematic Working Groups.
Future initiatives include developing a mapping system linked to the DevInfo M&E system using the VAM Unit of the World Food Programme. This system will enable tracking at federal, provincial and district level of One UN interventions and results. It would also make the linking of the One Programme activities and humanitarian initiatives possible.
