DFID'S CONTRIBUTIONS
TO UN-HABITAT
The UK's £1 million contribution for financial
year 2008-09 was received by UN Habitat on 26 May 2009. We agreed
measurable performance indicators with UN Habitat before transferring
the money. We are keen to see UN Habitat play a more integral
part within the UN at country level; ensure its programme of work
is effectively carried out; and improve the monitoring and evaluation
of its work programme. The Memorandum of Understanding for our
contribution was signed in March, although there was a short delay
while funds were transferred into UN Habitat's bank account.
We are currently reviewing UN Habitat's 2008-09 performance
and, subject to satisfactory performance, we expect to release
our 2009-10 contribution in autumn 2009.
