GoB-UN POP 2010-20145.4.3 Co-location of Participating UNSystem Agencies97. The UNCT recognizes the potential of the colocationof participating agencies to reinforceDelivering as One by:a) Overcoming the ‘silo mentality’ that comeswith physical separation;b) Maximizing inter-agency teamwork andpromoting programmatic synergies; and,c) Allowing the UN to integrate commonservices.98. Recognizing that space limitations do notpermit all participating resident agencies to behoused on the same premises, the UN CountryTeam will continue to seek innovative waysof realizing the same benefits despite use ofseparate buildings.5.4.4 Change Management99. The strategic leadership for the institutionalchange process is provided by the ResidentCoordinator and the UN Country Team. Theimplementation of the Delivering as OneInitiative in Botswana has required dedicatedattention to change management since theinception of the reform initiative. It is alsorecognized that the entire content of the GoB-UN POP 2010-2014 represents in itself a UNcollective ‘change blueprint’ with respect tothe content of the UN development supportto Botswana as well as in the modalities for thedelivery of the support.100. Aware that change has both a businessdimension and a people dimension, the UNCountry Team will take the steps necessary toimprove awareness, desire, knowledge, andability to implement planned changes and aswell as reinforce the change process.6 Resources and ResourceMobilization Strategy6.1 The One Budget101. The concept of One Budget is reflected in theOne Programme (GoB-UN POP). At design itwas stated that “all the programme resourcesof all the participating agencies are broughttogether into one budgetary framework”. TheGoB-UN POP is budgeted for under the OneBudget concept. One Budget simply meansthat all the UN agencies and the partners havefull knowledge and access to information onthe resources that are meant to deliver the GoB-UN POP. The UN has acceded to this principleof each agency showing the resources thatthe agency is investing in Botswana towardsthe implementation of the POP and in responseto national priorities. Each agency however willremain in charge of their budgets.102. The one budget will show all the resourcesagency by agency which have already beensecured and which resources are yet to beraised. This financial information allows forrealistic planning as well as the developmentof a fund raising strategy. It also allows for thecreation of synergies and avoids duplicationin budgeting for the same interventionsamong agencies. It also provides the GoB withinformation on the available resources beingcommitted to national priorities. Botswana asan upper middle income country could use thisinformation to decide on resource allocationor even co-funding certain priorities if the UN isshort in those areas.103. The UN system agencies will provide supportto the development and implementationof activities within the GoB-UN POP 2010-2014, which may include technical support,cash assistance, supplies, commodities andequipment, procurement services, transport,funds for advocacy, research and studies,GoB - UN POP 2010 - 2014 29
