In his remarks at the event organized by the Council of Ministers and the UN Representation in Albania on the occasion of the signing of the joint program of Cooperation for Sustainable Development, Albania-UN 2022-2026, Ahmetaj said that “Delivering as One” program in Albania starting from 2007 when Albania was selected as one of the 10 countries for adopting a new approach has been a success.”

Deputy Prime Minister Ahmetaj said that “the approval of the agenda ’20 -’30 was a pivotal moment for sustainable global development and for Albania.”
According to him, Albania has moved fast to accelerate its implementation in every cell with the motto “Leave no one behind.”

Ahmetaj announced that “this topic has become inclusive of all our efforts and reflective of the ’20 -’22 draft budget that we as a government passed last week in the Council of Ministers.”

Our path towards fast development, Ahmetaj continued, is driven by our commitment to meet European standards and join the European Union as soon as possible.

“The UN has helped address some of the main ambitions of reforms in Albania, such as social inclusion policy, child protection, territorial administration reform, employment, vocational training, entrepreneurship, migration, gender equality,” Ahmetaj underlined.
