The UN in Lebanon is finalizing its 2023 Joint workplan for the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF). The joint workplan is split into 4 main priorities: People, Prosperity, Peace and Governance, and Planet. The UN in Lebanon will be using UN INFO, a reporting system, for the first time. The UN in Lebanon has been working offline with excel sheets to gather the majority of the information required in the Joint workplan, and now plans to add the missing information in UN INFO. The Online Volunteers would be adding the existing information into UN INFO for the agencies to finalize adding the missing information. There are about 140 indicators in the joint workplan and about 150+ entries of project that would need to be added online, which will be split amongst the two volunteers.
The Online Volunteers will be inputting information from excel sheets into the UN INFO system (workspace.uninfo.org) for the 2023 Joint Workplan. The kind of M&E information to be inputted is: indicator name, units, baselines, targets, name/baseline/targets of disaggregation, UN agency, means of verification, and any comments, if any. The kind of project information to be inputted is: project name, start/end date, status, UN agencies, SDG targets, contributing partners (donors), required funding, available funding, response plan, joint programme, other partners. All the information to be inputted will come from different excel sheets, one for M&E information, and potentially two others for the project information.
