E/2004/35 ensure its unified, effective use for identifying joint programmes at the country level. 116. The Deputy Executive Director (Management), UNFPA, welcomed the encouraging comments. She noted that the Guidance Note provided clear distinction between joint programmes and joint programming. The note included guidance on which modality to use in which circumstance with a view to reducing transaction costs. 117. The Executive Board adopted decision 2004/18 on progress in implementing decision 2001/11 and decision 2004/19 on joint programming. XIV. Field visits 118. Delegations thanked the rapporteurs from El Salvador and Eritrea for introducing, respectively, the reports on the joint field visit to Guatemala (DP/2004/CRP.4–DP/FPA/2004/CRP.3) and the field visit to Ukraine (DP/2004/CRP.5–DP/FPA/2004/CRP.4). 119. They emphasized the importance of field visits in enabling Bureau members to gain first-hand experience of the United Nations convening power, its capital of trust and its neutrality. With regard to the joint visit to Guatemala, they underlined the key role the organizations could play in fostering peace and promoting the political participation of indigenous groups. Delegations encouraged further efforts to simplify and harmonize agency efforts, which would greatly benefit the resident coordinator system. 120. With regard to the field visit to Ukraine, the benefits of cost-sharing were highlighted along with the need for effective partnerships to enable different perspectives and implementation of country-specific policies. The impact of technical assistance was recognized, and the business centre set up by UNDP should serve as a model for other country offices. The remarkable progress towards building a functioning market economy was noted. 121. Delegations highly commended the substantial positive results that UNFPA had been able to achieve in Ukraine with limited funding, including with regard to integrating medical, social and information/education services related to reproductive health. They underscored the effective interaction between the Government and UNFPA, and their strong working relationship. They encouraged UNFPA to consider developing a country programme for Ukraine. 122. One delegation called for continued international support to address the needs of Chernobyl-affected populations and regions, and encouraged the country’s partners to increase their support for national HIV-prevention efforts. 123. The UNFPA Deputy Executive Director (Programme) appreciated the positive comments and thoughtful recommendations and noted that the Fund would like to move to a country programme approach in Ukraine but this would depend on the availability of resources. He stated that UNFPA planned to enhance HIV-prevention efforts, particularly with regard to young people. 40
E/2004/35 124. The Executive Board took note of the reports on the joint field visit to Guatemala (DP/2004/CRP.4–DP/FPA/2004/CRP.3) and the field visit to Ukraine. (DP/2004/CRP.5–DP/FPA/2004/CRP.4) XV. Joint proposals for MYFF reporting 125. In discussing document DP/2004/CRP.6–DP/FPA/2004/CRP.2, delegations expressed their support for harmonized reporting and suggested that UNDP, UNFPA and UNIFEM should also liaise with the United Nations Children’s Fund. They would welcome the opportunity to discuss UNDP ideas on objectives but encouraged the organizations to avoid too much focus on process – achieving goals was paramount. 126. Delegations endorsed the joint UNDP, UNFPA, UNIFEM proposal for harmonized reporting on results as outlined in the report. They underlined, however, the possible need to revert to the issue at a later session in view of the outcome of the triennial comprehensive policy review of United Nations operational activities for development by the fifty-ninth session of the General Assembly. 127. The Executive Board adopted decision 2004/20 on joint proposals for reporting on the multi-year funding framework. XVI. Joint meeting of the Executive Boards of UNDP/UNFPA, UNICEF and WFP: proposals for 2005 128. The President reminded delegations that the Executive Board had originally planned to discuss the proposals for the joint meeting in 2005 at the present annual session. As the Bureaux of the other Executive Boards of UNICEF and WFP were still discussing the topics to be taken up at the joint meeting, it was proposed to continue to discuss this matter at the Bureau level. 129. The President informed Board members of the general consensus among the three Bureaux on the following four broad topics: (a) HIV/AIDS; (b) simplification and harmonization; (c) transition from relief to development; and (d) gender. He invited delegations to provide their inputs to the Bureau through their respective regional vice-presidents. UNFPA segment XVII. Report of the Executive Director for 2003 130. In her opening statement, the Executive Director highlighted that the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) agenda empowered individuals, families, communities and nations. The ICPD Programme of Action had put individuals and human rights – not population numbers and population growth rates – at the centre of the equation. Underscoring the centrality 41
