The
Secretary-General's reform package, endorsed by the
General Assembly, includes the Common Country Assessment
(CCA) and the United Nations Development Assistance
Framework (UNDAF). These tools are designed to enhance
the UN's collective analysis and programming in support
of national goals and priorities, including the Millennium
Development Goalss. CCAs and UNDAFs should clearly demonstrate
the linkages with national poverty reduction strategies
and plans.
This Common Country Assessment conducted
jointly by the UN agencies between September 2001 and
June 2002, is a comprehensive assessment and analysis
of the situation in Angola, aimed at providing a strategic
vision for the UN agencies working in the country. It
is one of the main inputs into the design of the United
Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF), a
programme framework for the entire UN system that will
cover the period from 2004 to 2008. At the same time,
the document is intended to communicate to its Angolan
partners the UN main concerns about the problems facing
the Angolan people and what needs to be done to address
them.
A wide range of data sources has been used to assess
the extent to which Angola's people are enjoying their
rights. This assessment is organized in five broad clusters;
the right to personal security and physical integrity;
the right to development; the right to survival and
a long and healthy life; the right to protection; and
the right to participation. The goals and targets set
by the Millennium Summit, held in September 2000, and
other major international conferences, as well as national
programmes and plans, have been used as benchmarks to
measure progress. The main findings are summarized as
follows
