Refers to the financial contribution to a government budget, managed in a national account by a government entity for a specific set of sector or programme results.
UNDP selects one implementing partner for each project in consultation with the government coordinating agency. This is also the case for project portfolios; one implementing partner is selected for each project within the portfolio, while more than one implementing partner can be part of a portfolio (directly and nationally implemented projects may be part of the same portfolio). In multi-country and South-South projects, one implementing partner can be selected per country.
Categories of costs of a cross-cutting nature that (a) involve material capital

UNDP may provide support services for any implementing partner, called Country Office Support (COS). These can include delivering specified outputs, implementing select project activities, contracting a responsible party on behalf of the implementing partner, or providing procurement, recruitment, payment or other services. COS is specified and agreed between UNDP and the implementing partner through a signed letter of agreement.
