The Government of Albania – United Nations Programme of Cooperation 2012-2016

The Government of Albania – United Nations Programme of Cooperation 2012-2016 was signed on 24 October 2011. The new programme supersedes the first One UN programme, with a single, coherent plan for all UN agencies in Albania, in which each is responsible for delivery on a set of key actions that jointly contribute to shared results.

The Government of Albania – United Nations Programme of Cooperation 2012-2016 promote sustainable and equitable development, social inclusion and the adherence to international norms and ulfillment of international obligations, in support of the integration of Albania into the EU. The Programme was drafted following intensive consultations with line ministries, civil society and development partners in 2011. The new Programme supports national priorities and development challenges on the country in the areas of:

Governance and Rule of Law
Economy and environment
Regional and Local development
Inclusive Social Policy

To support the above programme, the UN Coherence Fund has been further adjusted to incorporate lessons learned from the past, and now applies performance based criteria for resource allocation. The Programme of Cooperation 2012 – 2016 builds upon United Nations values, the comparative advantages of participating funds, programmes and specialized agencies of the United Nations, and lessons learned from the previous cooperation. The new programme brings together the support of 19 UN agencies, funds and programmes, plus the International Organisation for Migration, to Albania’s development priorities.

Country Programme

UN reform taken a step further with “One UN”

The One UN Programme, signed by the Government of Albania and UN Agencies on 24 October 2007, will guide the UNDP Country Programme Document and Action Plan. The One UN Programme builds on the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2006 – 2010, successful joint UN programmes that address national priorities and Country Programme Documents and Action Plans agreed for UNICEF, UNDP and UNFPA in 2006. The One UN Programme does not cancel commitments and agreements reached to date with the Government for UNDP and other UN Agencies.

Implementation of the One UN Programme at the country level will bring increased harmonization, efficiency and collaboration among UN agencies while maintaining their distinct personality, agenda, and purpose.
