In the dynamic environment of a crisis or
post-crisis situation, the implementation of
livelihoods and economic recovery interventions
requires a great deal of flexibility
and innovation. Apart from the technical
capacities that are required to support
programming in each of the three tracks,
a number of other capacities are necessary,
including financial, human, physical,
and information resources for effective
implementation. Practitioners working on
livelihoods and economic recovery interventions
at the national, sub-national and
field levels have identified the following
key areas for programmatic support:
• Coordination
• Strategic communication
• Resource mobilization
• “Fast tracking” the procurement of
goods and services
• Monitoring and evaluation
This chapter provides guidance and/or
basic information regarding each of these
types of programmatic support. Programmatic
support can strengthen the adherence
of UNDP’s on-the-ground interventions
with the fundamental principles of
the Paris Declaration: ownership, alignment,
harmonization, results, and mutual
accountability. (See Box 7.1.)
