One UN in Albania
Following a request from the Albanian Government to the United Nations, Albania was selected as one of eight countries around the world to pilot UN efforts to Deliver as One UN in January 2007
|
 |
In November 2006, the Government of Albania together with 7 other countries expressed interest to become “One UN pilots,” agreeing to pilot different models to “Deliver as One,” based on four common elements: One UN Programme, One Budgetary Framework, One Leader and One Office . Albania’s request to participate as a One UN Pilot country demonstrated its long-standing, strong commitment to UN reform. The Government’s on-going reforms place great emphasis on the coordination and alignment of external assistance and integrating national planning and resource allocation. The One UN pilot falls very much within this broader national effort.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The goal of the One UN Programme in Albania is to enhance development results and impact by bringing together the comparative advantages of the UN system within a single strategic programme.
Albania’s One UN Programme was signed on 24 October 2007. The Programme’s objective is to better support Albania in achieving its goals as expressed in the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) with the European Union, national priorities expressed in the National Strategy for Development and Integration and the Integrated Planning System, as well as the programmes of international partners, and harmonization and aid effectiveness in the context of the Paris Declaration. The ultimate aim of the UN in Albania is to contribute to making a difference in the lives of Albanians
The One UN Programme builds on the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2006 – 2010, agreed between the Government of Albania and UN agencies. Following close consultations with the Government of Albania and other national and international stakeholders and building on priority areas of the UNDAF, it was agreed that under the One UN, impact and development effectiveness will be improved in the following areas:
1. More transparent and accountable governance
2. Greater inclusive participation in public policy and decision-making
3. Increased and more equitable access to quality basic services
4. Regional development to reduce regional disparities
5. Environmentally sustainable development
In all five priority areas, the core principles of gender equality and development of national capacity will be upheld and incorporated throughout the implementation of the Programme.
The One UN Programme in Albania includes resident and non-resident UN agencies, funds and programmes that contribute strategically to Albania’s development priorities as outlined in the National Strategy for Development and Integration (NSDI).
The following UN agencies and funds are participating in the One UN Programme in Albania: the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), UNAIDS, the United Nations Volunteers (UNV), the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the World Health Organization (WHO) and non-resident agencies the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO).
