UNFPA works with other development organizations
to enhance donor collaboration in education, health and other social sectors

The success of UNFPA programmes depends upon numerous activities. The Fund's Global Initiative on Contraceptive Requirements and Logistics Management Needs, for example, builds nations' capacities to manage and distribute reproductive health commodities. It does so by coordinating donor support, strengthening national logistics systems and improving the flow of reproductive health commodities to developing countries. Another important activity is the Fund's staff training programme, which trains field staff in the financial management of UNFPA programmes as well as in the "logical framework technique," a step-by-step guide to the programming process. Coordination and collaboration activities, which continued to be expanded during the year, are also key to programme effectiveness, as are monitoring and evaluation exercises. During 1998, the Fund moved from a system of projectfocused reviews to one that emphasizes subprogramme and programme-level reviews. This transition was accompanied by an increase in allocations for external evaluations of UNFPA-supported projects.
