programming intended to meet the various needs of the Government. With the restructuring of the UN mission in Haiti and the creation of BINUH in October 2019, UNDP began to refocus the implementation of its projects in the area of g overnance and rule of law towards a more holistic and integrated approach.37 The rule of law joint programme, like other joint PBF projects, is an example of this holistic and integrated approach. Figure 2 presents the evolution of budget and expenditure in the area of governance over the year. The higher budget and expenditure in 2017 compared to the following year mainly came from the Electoral Support Project, which incurred around $5.4 million in 2017.
Finding 1. The integration between the UNCT and BINUH requires a collective assistance strategy adapted to the country’s needs to strengthen the mobilization of technical and financial partners in the context of limited resources. In the current configuration, an integrated strategic framework has been developed and needs to serve as a single planning document combining the respective mandates of BINUH and UN agencies around common priorities to maximize the action of the United Nations to respond to the needs of the country. Efforts to implement this integrated strategic framework are ongoing.
