6.5 Country Programme
The Country Programme (CP) devolves from the UNDAF. Each UNDAF outcome is analysed to determine what has to be done, by whom and by when over the implementation cycle, as well as associated costs. The CP is developed by the UN agencies in consultation with the State and, in particular, the implementation partners that have been identified in the UNDAF.
The Country Programme Action Plan (CPAP) becomes the over-all action plan that will guide development assistance for the period covered – usually 5 years. It is a more detailed iteration of the UNDAF results matrix in that it describes the expected outcomes and outputs necessary to achieve UNDAF outcomes, identifies implementation partners and breaks budgets done by each outcome and by year.
The following examples demonstrate how country programmes are devolved from higher-level UNDAF outcomes.

Overall Objective: National Priority (HIV & AIDS, Gender and Youth cluster) |
Overall Objective: UNDAF Outcome 1 |
|
Outcome 1. Capacity strengthened to sustain universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support, and impact mitigation. |
Outcome Evidence-based HIV- Regular Resources related Programmes and Policies that draw on international best practices are developed and implemented Scaled up response of Other Resources PLHIV and communities to HIV Implementation of HIV related programmes is scaled up |
In the above examples, it would be easy to see how a CPAP and Project Document could then be developed for support to a NHRI to initiate programming for being part of the “National capacities for adopting and implementing MDG-based poverty reduction plans and policies” through a HRBA to poverty alleviation, for example.
