The 2023 UN Rwanda Common Country Analysis charts a path forward to effective delivery of UN programmatic support

The United Nations Common Country Analysis (CCA) serves as the analytical baseline for the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (Cooperation Framework) and provides the basis for policy dialogue and prioritization with stakeholders on sustainable development strategies and solutions at the country level.

The United Nations Rwanda has embarked on the process of updating the CCA to provide impartial, independent, and collective analysis of key challenges and opportunities Rwanda faces in pursuit of sustainable development.

“By 2035 Rwanda wants to be in a middle-income status and an upper-middle-income economy by 2050. It plans to achieve this through a series of seven-year National Strategies for Transformation (NST), underpinned by sectoral strategies focused on meeting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With our collective offer, we can surely connect to that journey and be an appropriate and useful partner” said Ozonnia Ojielo, UN Resident Coordinator.

The 2023 CCA update task will be conducted in four successive phases, including the planning and strategizing phase; Data gathering; Data analysis and report synthesis, Presentation, and validation. Guided by the 5Ps: People, Prosperity, Planet, Peace, and Partnerships, the CCA will analyse the themes based  on an integrated framework, structuring the context analysis, and detailing how available data will be identified, incorporated into an evidence base, to arrive at a composite of the country context which will inform the development of the Cooperation Framework. The Cooperation Framework will constitute the UN’s strategic and collective offer to Rwanda over the next five years.

Following the mid-2021 update of the CCA that was used to inform the formulation of the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF, 2018-2024) for Rwanda, the updated CCA will inspire the next cooperation framework commencing in 2024/2025. The outcome will be used to ensure the next UNSDCF is fit for purpose in Rwanda and that UN policy, programming, and advocacy priorities are relevant, and their effective implementation contributes significantly to the achievement of the domesticated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through coherent and efficient approaches.
