BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 10. The UN is closely
cooperating with Azerbaijan for socio-economic growth, the head of
the UN-Habitat in Azerbaijan, Anna Soave, said at the meeting of
the High-Level Joint Steering Committee of the UN Sustainable
Development Cooperation Framework in Baku today, Trend reports.
She highly appreciated the compliance of the new cooperation
framework with national priorities.
"Our new cooperation framework is built in full accordance with
national priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals. This is
a logical result of the intensive work we have carried out together
with government representatives over the past year," Soave
explained.
The head of the UN-Habitat country program mentioned the work
done within the framework of Result Group No. 1.
"This group, which focuses on inclusive socio-economic growth
and human capital development, closely cooperates with many UN
agencies, such as UNICEF, WHO, and FAO. This partnership is a clear
example of the effective work we are carrying out together with
government agencies," she noted.
The working group co-chair briefed on the financial resources
planned for the current year.
"The total resources required for the period until the end of
2026 exceed $3.6 million. Currently, a number of projects are
awaiting final government approval, which will allow for the
attraction of additional funds," she added.
