The One UN initiative
Albania volunteered to be one of eight nations to pilot the global Delivering as One UN initiative along with Cape Verde, Mozambique, Pakistan, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uruguay and Vietnam. Part of ongoing United Nations efforts to enhance efficiency and responsiveness, the One UN initiative aims to bring UN agencies together under one programme, one budget and one leader.
UNV Volunteers in Albania is playing an active role in the process as a programme that, through UNDP, supports the UN system as a whole. As recognized by the UN General Assembly, UNV’s mandate within the United Nations is to raise awareness of volunteerism and provide technical cooperation to developing countries in the field of volunteerism to fully explore its potential as a resource for achieving the Millennium Development Goals. UNV is contributing towards two joint programmes under Delivering as One, Empowering the Vulnerable Minority Communities of Albania with UNDP, UNHCR, UNFPA and UNICEF and Youth migration: Reaping the benefits and mitigating risks with ILO, UNDP, UNICEF and IOM. These programmes build upon UNV’s strong track record in Albania in the mobilization of local communities and in the facilitation of expert volunteer missions to the country.
As the One UN Programme is implemented and expanded, UNV is set to strengthen its position and level of collaboration with other UN agencies that will reap lasting benefits for the people of Albania.
