This document discusses the use of Rio markers in reporting on financial flows under the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). It outlines the UNCCD's results-based governance framework and 10-year strategy, including strategic and operational objectives. It describes how affected countries, developed countries, and other entities report on progress indicators, performance indicators, and financial flows to the UNCCD. It explains that the Standard Financial Annex and Project and Programme Sheet have been merged into a Unified Financial Annex, reducing required fields by 70%. Rio markers from 0-3 are used to track what proportion of projects address UNCCD objectives. Financial analysis of reported data uses tables, charts and maps to show statistics on commitments
