Recap, Q&A Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 2 What is Umoja? is an administrative reform initiative designed to help the United Nations operate more effectively by integrating and streamlining business processes that manage financial, human and physical resources within a single global solution for the entire Secretariat. Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 3 Umoja Overview Project – Umoja Umoja is an administrative reform initiative that will provide the United Nations with modernized business processes and an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. System – SAP SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) 6.0 is the system that is being implemented by Umoja. It will replace some UN systems and will be connected with others in order to share information. SAP will provide a financially integrated and robust centralized system. SAP stands for Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing. Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 4 Deployment Approach To accelerate progress, Umoja functionality will deployed as follows: Umoja Foundation – Deployment: 2013 Essential to support IPSAS requirements Functionality to be delivered: finance (funds management and financial accounting), supply chain (real estate, plant maintenance, logistics execution, and procurement), project management, and sales & distribution (third-party procurement services and billing) Umoja Extension 1 – Deployment: 2014 Functionality to be delivered: organizational and position management, personnel administration, entitlements, benefits, time management, payroll, travel initiation, travel expenses, and on-line booking Umoja Extension 2 – Deployment: 2016 (TBC) The rest of the processes to complete full scope: budget formulation, force planning, programme management, supply chain planning, warehouse management, conference and event management, full grants management, and commercial activities This approach enables the Organization to mitigate delay, absorb change at a tolerable rate, and address some of the risks associated with deploying a comprehensive solution in a global organization.

It receives quarterly updates from Umoja, with a particular focus on monitoring the interdependencies of the Umoja and IPSAS implementation strategies. The Umoja Steering Committee provides leadership and strategic guidance to the Umoja initiative, and is chaired by the USG of the Department of Management Yukio Takasu. The Committee meets monthly. The Change Advisory Board assists in addressing and monitoring any proposed changes impacting the Umoja project’s scope, schedule, deliverables and costs. It provides advice and recommendation of actions to be taken to the Umoja Steering Committee for approval. The five Process Owners are the principal change agents for their end-to-end, crossfunctional processes, regardless of which functional area performs each transaction. They are the ultimate authority across the different UN Secretariat entities for the processes they lead. The Umoja team is responsible for the day-to-day planning and execution of the project.

It is established for the purpose of financing wholly or in part the cost of programme and project activities consistent with the Organization’s aims and policies. Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 22 Sponsor A Sponsor: a Donor in UN terminology, is a government, institution or individual that provides funding to a grantee organization, in this case, the UN. Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 23 Grant – Details and Examples Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 24 Grant Grant A Grant is an object that is used to maintain the terms and conditions of the Grantor’s contribution. In cases where the UN is a Grantee, that is the UN receives contributions from Donors, the Grant represents the Donor’s Agreement. In cases where the UN is a Grantor, that is the UN gives money to an Implementing Partner, the Grant represents the Funding Agreement. Grant is a “central” piece of the Grants Management which ties together all the Grants Management Master Data Objects, e.g. Fund, Sponsor, Sponsored Program, Sponsored Classes, Grant Budget Rules. Different level of information is recorded on the Grant at a different stage of the Life Cycle of the Grant Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 25 Grant: General Tab Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 26 Grant: Dimensions Tab Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 27 Grants: Terms and Conditions for Donor Agreement Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 28 Grant Types The Grant Type is a key master data element that allows management of Grants to meet both the Donor’s requirements and the financial recording and reporting requirements of the UN. Grant Type is a customizable feature, therefore the UN can create as many Grant Types as needed to classify and describe UN Grants according to business requirements. Grant type is used to define Grant’s controls and behavior. Once the Grant is saved the Grant Type can not be changed. In Umoja Solutions there are four types of Grant: Simple Grant Resource Mobilization Grant Main Implementation Grant, and Passthrough Grant Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 29 Grant Object in Umoja – Grants Frameworks Why four Grant Types? – Dictated by different Donor requirements to reporting Grants Framework I Donor requires to report on Contribution Grants Framework II Donor requires reporting on Pooled Expenditures Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 30 Grant Object in Umoja: Framework I: Donor requires reporting on the Contribution Donor Contribution Agreement Simple Grant A • Incoming Cash Posted • Expenditures and Payments Posted • Refunds of Cash Posted Relationship Simple : Passthrough 1 : N Passthrough Grant Passthrough Grant Passthrough Grant Passthrough Grant Passthrough Grant -1 • Expenditures and Payments Posted • Refunds by Implementing Partners Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 31 Grant Object in Umoja: Framework II–Donor requires the reporting on “pooled” expenditures • Expenditures and Payments Posted • Incoming Cash Posted • Refunds Posted Donor Donor Contribution Donor 1 Contribution Agreement Contribution Agreement Agreement 1 RMG2 (D3) RMG2 (D2) RMG1 (D1) Main Implementation Grant - 1 Relationship MIG : Passthrough 1 : N Relationship RMG : MIG N : 1 Passthrough Grant Passthrough Grant Passthrough Grant Passthrough Grant Passthrough Grant -1 • Expenditures and Payments Posted • Refunds by Implementing Partners Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 32 Framework I - Determination criteria: Donor requires reporting on the contribution. Donor is providing voluntary contribution for a specific project, an activity on the project, group of projects, non-project related activity, material, service, program/subprogram objective, etc. The purpose of the contributions is reflected in Donor Agreement. Maximum Donor control and restrictions and Minimum discretionary authority for the UN. Programme Support Cost is unique to the donor agreement. The Approving Budget officer based on the reports ensures that the grant budget is released based on cash availability. Return of Interest and unspent balance could be required by the donor in the Donor Agreement. Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 33 Framework II - Determination criteria: Donor requires reporting on pooled expenditures. Donor does not require reporting on his individual contribution separately. Donor is providing voluntary contribution for a specific project, group of projects (thematic grouping of projects), on-going activity, programme/sub-program objective, etc. reflected either in Donor Agreement or Note Verbal or Pledge Letter. Minimum control from Donors – Maximum discretionary authority for UN. Program Support Costs rate should be consistent for all participating donors. Resource Mobilization Grants do not have budget. Main Implementation Grant has a budget. The Approving Budget officer based on the reports ensures that the budget is released based on cash availability. Interests earned and / or unspent balances can be carried forward to a new organization and budget period (in case of the on-going activity). Interests and unspent balance will have the consistent treatment for all participating donors. Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 34 Grant Execution – UN Execution Business Scenario UN Execution Description Direct Expenses to the project Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality Umoja Solution Any expense from procurement, travel, payroll etc. charged to Simple or Main Implementation Grant 35 Grant Execution – UN Execution: Grants-Out (Outright Grants) Business Scenario Description Umoja Solution Grants-out (outright grants) to end beneficiary. Outright grant with payment to the end beneficiary and reporting by nature of expenditure is not required; the full amount shall be recorded as an expense at the point of signature/confirmation of the arrangement. PO and payment against the PO at the time of signing the funding agreement to the end beneficiary, charged to Simple or Main Implementation Grant End Beneficiary is an entity/person that does not charged any administrative costs (overheads). Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 36 Grant Execution – UN Execution with Implementing Partner Business Scenario Description Umoja Solution UN execution with Implementing Partners (e.g. UN agencies and NGOs) UN transfers the portion of the contribution to the Implementing Partner(s) through issuing the advances. The timing of expense recognition should be based on delivery as evidenced in the reports from the implementing partners. PO and down payment (advance) to IPs from Passthrough Grant. Upon receipt of expenditure reports, expenditures will be recorded against the PO and offset the advance. Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality Note: Both UNFIP and CERF will follow this approach under IPSAS. 37 Grant Life Cycle for Simple and Resource Grant 1 Initial 2 3 Approved by Donor Approved by UN Approved by UN Approved by Donor Application In-Process 5 Award Operational Ready for Closing Rejected by Donor End Cancelled Rejected by UN Initial 4 Application Closing Operational Closing Ready to Close Award Suspended Closed Closing Financial Closing Award Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality Closing Closed 38 Grant Life Cycle for Main Implementation Grant 1 Initial 2 3 Award Operational Ready for Closing Cancelled 4 Closing Operational Closing Ready to Close Award Suspended Closed Closing Financial Closing Initial Award Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality Closing Closed 39 Grant Life Cycle - Passthrough Grant Status Management 1 Initial 2 3 Approved by IP Approved by UN Approved by UN Approved by IP Application In-Process 5 Award Operational Ready for Closing Rejected by Donor End Cancelled Rejected by UN Initial 4 Application Closing Operational Closing Ready to Close Award Suspended Closed Closing Financial Closing Award Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality Closing Closed 40 Grant Life Cycle - Change status to Application/ Approved By Donor Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 41 Sponsored Program – Details and Examples Umoja Presentation to OAH - Grants Management Functionality 42 Grants Management Master Data – Sponsored Program A Sponsored Program identifies a program of the Sponsor. It identifies the purpose of the Sponsor’s contribution. Sponsored Program is a GM Master Data Object that is derived and cannot be manually entered. Sponsored Program can be created for a specific project, an activity on the project, a group of projects, non-project related activity, material, service, program/subprogram objective, associated experts and so on, according to the specific Donor requirements. Interpretation of the Donor Agreement will determine the Sponsored Program(s).
