Background: The Commodity-based Poverty Reduction Programme in Ha Giang Province (CPRP) is financed through an International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) loan (USD 10 million) and co-financing from the Government of Viet Nam and programme beneficiaries. There is a financing gap of USD 10 million which IFAD intends to fill through existing or future PBAS resources, once available. The CPRP was identified during the development of the Viet Nam Country Strategic Opportunities Programme 2012-2017 (COSOP), which has a strong pro-poor, climate adapted and market-oriented agriculture development thrust, and was integrated into the pipeline of projects that received Government of Viet Nam’s (GoV) approval. The CPRP is fully aligned with the GoV’s Socio-Economic Development Strategy (SEDS), National Target Programme on New Rural Development (NTP-NRD), National Target Programme on Response to Climate Change (NTP-RCC) and the CC action plan for the agriculture and rural development (ARD) sector. 2. Rationale and Approach: Ha Giang, with a population of 756,000 people, including 22 ethnic minority groups, is one of four poorest provinces in Vietnam. The province, where only 19% of land is classified for agricultural use, is characterised by its mountainous kaast geography, a harsh climate, limited rural infrastructure and relatively low literacy levels, particularly amongst the majority ethnic minority population. DoLISA reports that, in 2012, 30.1% of total population were living under the poverty line and 20.6% were living just above the poverty line (DOLISA, 2012). 3. Ha Giang province has been supported by IFAD through the Ha Giang Development Project for Ethnic Minorities between April 1998 and June 2004 and the Decentralized Project for Poverty Reduction (DPPR) between August 2005 and end-September 2011. Both projects were rated as “successful”. Project successes included (i) a sharp drop in household poverty levels; (ii) the mainstreaming of a comprehensive decentralization and community empowerment strategy; and (iii) infrastructure development supporting enhanced agricultural production and market access. Under the DPPR, four areas identified for future poverty reduction included: (i) the promotion of market- oriented production; (ii) the strengthening of linkages between enterprises and farmers; (iii) further intensification of linkages between ‘growth clusters’ and poor areas in the province; and (iv) the development of upland production systems with due attention to climate change adaption. The outcomes of both projects are described in detail in Appendix 3, Annex 1. 4. To more rapidly reduce poverty, the Provincial Government has identified the need for more decentralised, participatory and market-oriented planning, as mandated by the NTP-NRD, and for pro- poor investment in market-oriented production and processing systems.

    LEARNING, REPLICATING AND SCALING UP FROM BEST INNOVATION From Northern Highlands to Central Coast and Central Highlands in Vietnam, from the majority Kinh and other ethnic minority groups, over 40 local participants took part in a Learning Route organized by IFAD Vietnam and Procasur between July 21st and 27th, 2013. The Learning Route is a field-training process, thematically organized around experien- ces, case studies and practices of rural and local development, in order to facilitate the adaptation and scaling-up of inventive experiences in poverty reduction. The first Learning Route in Vietnam was called “Strengthening Farmers’ Organization, Sustainable Business Models and Public Private Partnership in Agriculture”. It was built around innovative models implemented by two IFAD financed projects in Vietnam’s central provinces of Quang Binh and Ha Tinh. The Learning Route was pro- jected as a knowledge management and capacity building tool to replicate and scale up best practices and innovations. It got strong interest from local media, resulting in extensive coverage by Vietnam News Agency, National Radio “Voice of Vietnam”, local TV stations and many other channels. These are the voices of the Route participants on what they have learned and about the positive changes they plan on making after this exciting journey. They may be a farmer from Dak Nong who is interested in starting a common interest group on clean vege- tables, a chairwoman of a cooperative wishing to bamboo handicraft in her own area to create more jobs and income for women to a district agriculture officer planning to target better linkages for value chains in Ninh Thuan.

    JIU/REP/2018/5 OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS IN ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT SERVICES BY ENHANCING INTER-AGENCY COOPERATION Prepared by Jeremiah Kramer Joint Inspection Unit Geneva 2018 United Nations JIU/REP/2018/5 Original: ENGLISH OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS IN ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT SERVICES BY ENHANCING INTER-AGENCY COOPERATION Prepared by Jeremiah Kramer Joint Inspection Unit United Nations, Geneva 2018 iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Opportunities to improve efficiency and effectiveness in administrative support services by enhancing inter-agency cooperation JIU/REP/2018/5 The policy context for this review includes: the direction given repeatedly by the General Assembly, especially in its two most recent resolutions on the quadrennial comprehensive policy review, 67/226 and 71/243, in pursuit of more cost-efficient support services, by reducing the duplication of functions and administrative and transaction costs through the consolidation of support services at the country level; and the requirement for integrated support across the United Nations system for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Having examined, in 2016, the predominantly internal measures taken by United Nations system organizations to improve their administrative efficiency through the development of multifunctional shared services centres in low cost locations, the Joint Inspection Unit (JIU) undertook to examine the opportunities for efficiency gains by United Nations system organizations in working together. The setting in which this report is presented has evolved significantly since its inception. The Secretary- General has made far-reaching proposals for the repositioning of the United Nations development system in support of the 2030 Agenda, the General Assembly has welcomed the measures envisaged, including a common back office and an ambitious common premises target.

But how is scaling best achieved? We empirically evaluated the relationship of a list of factors that have been postulated to facilitate successful scaling to the degree of scaling success achieved in 56 case studies from a variety of sectors. We identified 23 factors that are significantly associated with successful scaling, defined as self-replication: an innovation that is congruent with local sociocultural patterns, takes advantage of existing scaled infrastructure, and facilitates a paradigm shift; adequate resources and constituencies for scaling, secured from the Edited by: start, drawn from both within and outside the system; pilot sites that reflect conditions E.
