On 18 September 2020 at 10:00 a.m., the United Nations in Georgia and stakeholders will meet virtually to validate the United Nations Sustainable Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) for 2021-2025.

This framework, aligned to national development priorities of the country, is the strategic planning document of the United Nations.

The UNSDCF reaffirms the commitment of the United Nations to work  for the “Enhancement of Human Wellbeing, Capabilities and Social Equality.” The framework sets out the strategic priorities for partnership between the UN and the government of Georgia from 2021 to 2025  in five priority areas: effective, transparent and accountable institutions; equal and inclusive access to quality services; inclusive economy and human capital development (jobs/livelihoods); human security and resilience; and environment and climate change. 

Head of Administration of the Government of Georgia, Natia Mezvrishvili and UN Resident Coordinator, Sabine Machl will address the participants. Head of the Resident Coordinator’s Office, Marine Chitashvili will present the strategic document.

The representatives of UNICEF, UNFPA and UNDP will also present their Agencies’ Country Programme Documents (CPD) for 2021-2025.
