Since its inception in 1998 the Development Account has evolved dramatically from a small programme with a biennial envelope of 13m, to a larger programme with an annual budget of 15.2m. Staff posts have been added by the General Assembly (GA) in 2 resolutions to support its programme management. Over the past 10 years, intergovernmental processes and oversight bodies have stressed the need to strengthen monitoring and evaluation as well as timely programming based on country demand and enhanced communication and knowledge sharing. The DA has been using savings from DESA projects to fund these activities. The 13th tranche fascicle has funds for programme level evaluation and the GA decided to add $1m to T13 and further tranches. This document has been prepared using the 13th tranche project document guidelines, but has been adapted to fit with the need of this multi-year fund to enhance DA programme activities. This fund is intended to supplement the Human Resources available from Section 9 DESA, as well as the 2% programme level evaluation funds included in the fascicles starting with the 13th tranche. Based on audit recommendations as well as recommendations from ACABQ and the Fifth Committee this fund focuses on 4 problem areas, namely: 1) Evaluation at project and programme level; 2) Programming and monitoring; 3) Knowledge management and communication; and 4) Management practices and shared learning on DA relevant issues. These issues will be addressed through a mix of strengthening the DA evaluation function and temporary support on monitoring and programming as well as consultancies for evaluations, knowledge management and other issues.
