Background |
|
Turkmenistan joined the United Nations on 2 March 1992 as a new independent state. Since then, the UN has been supporting Turkmenistan to achieve its national priorities, which respond to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This work is undertaken through the realization of UN-Turkmenistan joint programmes and Joint Work Plans and with recognition of the distinctive mandates of each of the UN agencies. To ensure coordination of joint efforts, the UNCT and the government developed and implemented a joint 5-year Turkmenistan-UN Partnership Framework for Development (2016-2020). The UNPFD 2016-2020 had eight outcomes aligned with the priorities defined in the National Programme for Socio-Economic Development for the period 2011-2030 and in the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda. The outcomes cover strategic areas: Quality data and progress monitoring; Quality, inclusive social services; Environmental sustainability and energy efficiency; Employment, economic diversification, and trade; Governance and the rule of law. To highlight the Government of Turkmenistan and UN achievements in 2020 under the UNPFD 2016-2020 and following the 2019 United Nations Sustainable Cooperation Framework Guidance, the UN Country Results Report 2020 will illustrate the UN’s contribution to the advancement of the SDGs and encompass achievement stories and vision for the 2020. The publication, which will be developed in Turkmen, Russian and English, will serve as an advocacy and communication tool for the Government of Turkmenistan, other national stakeholders, and development partners. |
