The Philippines and the United Nations have signed the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) , a senior government official said today.

"The signing of the UNDAF 2012-2018 reaffirms the alignment of UN with the Philippine Development Plan for 2011-2016, which is the national government's blueprint for inclusive growth," said Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Cayetano Paderanga Jr.
The implementation of the seven-year UNDAF has an estimated budget of $368.5 million, of which $76.9 million will be sourced from UN, and the rest will be mobilized from other donors and partners, said Paderanga.
The three broad objectives of the UNDAF 2012-2018 include reducing inequities in access to services and economic opportunities; protecting rights and promoting participation and empowerment of the poor and vulnerable; and strengthening national and local resilience to climate change and disasters.
