Partners and Donors
COLLECTIVE EFFORTS FOR A COMMON CAUSE
In envisioning a world that is free, secure and prosperous, the MDGs call for both partnership and responsibility. Partnership because, as recent events have only underscored, no one government or institution can go the distance alone, Responsibility because the goals are a joint commitment made by global and national communities.
Within UNDP, our support for the MDGs puts partnership at the centre of all aspects of our work. Our partners include governments, other UN agencies, the international financial institutions, bilateral agencies, the private sector and civil society.
Countries trapped in poverty by capacity deficits request us to help broker partnerships that offer knowledge, resources and new ways of doing business. In nations divided by conflict, our reputation for impartiality helps us convene disparate groups to begin the delicate task of agreeing on development priorities—often a crucial first step down the road to peace. UNDP firmly stands behind national priorities, and provides advice and helps to develop national capacities to formulate and implement development policies.
UNDP’s assistance to the country is built around three key programme areas: (1) support to decentralization process including training and other capacity building initiatives which help municipalities to fulfil the newly decentralized competences; (2) promoting social inclusion including human resources development and addressing the needs of specific groups of population; and (3) environment protection including an attempt to institute a holistic watershed management in the Prespa lake region.
OUR PARTNERS
Across countries and regions, we use our global presence to bring together partners from many different backgrounds to share expertise, explore joint ventures and develop solutions on trans-border issues such as environmental management and food security. At UNDP, we know from long experience that these collaborative relationships, built with care, enlarge the potential for progress by unleashing collective energy and concern.
UNDP has been present in the country since 1997 and its main objective is to assist the country in building better future with strong democratic institutions on all levels and a prosperous economy that benefits everyone. UNDP works with the following broad range of partners:
Government
Regions and local authorities
Civil society organizations
Private sector
Bilateral partners

KEY DONORS
In addition to its own resources that UNDP brings to the country, UNDP’s assistance owes to a large extent to the generous contributions provided by the like-minded donors who have made strategic decisions to combine their expertise and financial resources with UNDP to deliver maximum development effects.
