1. Pipeline Management
Introducing the ATLAS pipeline management module
United Nations Development Programme

2. What is pipeline management?
Pipeline: “The totality of planned programmes, projects,
and initiatives that UNDP units/offices are expected to
pursue within a foreseeable time in the future.”
Identification of
of new ideas
Development of
of ideas into
project
proposals
Maturing of
proposals into
fully formed
projects
Pipeline Management:

3. Why is pipeline management
so important?
Pipeline management supports two key objectives:
• Strategic – it ensures that that UNDP remains focused
and the programme portfolio globally, regionally and
locally is consistently framed within the Strategic Plan.
• Financial – it enhances the ability of UNDP to leverage
and maximize various partnerships and opportunities for
development financing. It also contributes to ensuring
financial sustainability of the organization through
enabling better informed and more accurate resources
projections and making necessary adjustments in internal
resource planning.

5. How will the Pipeline Management
module help us achieve these goals?
Country Offices will benefit from:
• a system to manage new projects from ideation to the signing of
the project document
• a corporately-endorsed methodology for predicting volume of
future projects and income
• a common reporting platform for resource planning
Regional Bureaux will benefit from:
• a systematic capture of Country Office pipeline information
• a standardized methodology of assessing pipeline maturity
• a system to link pipeline outputs and show alignment to the new
Strategic Plan
• a common reporting platform for resource planning
