It will also be shared with other development stakeholders at the country level, and will inform other mandated reports at regional and global levels, including the annual report of the Chair of the UNSDG to the Economic and Social Council on the UN Development Coordination Office.
The Common Country Analysis (CCA) is the UN's independent and impartial assessment and analysis of the country's progress towards the 2030 Agenda. It is prepared in consultation with Government and a diverse range of stakeholders namely development partners, academia, private sector, civil society, marginalized groups etc. The CCA has shifted from being a one-time document to a continuous process of data collection and analysis on the evolving country context, throughout the life cycle of the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework. Therefore, the CCA is updated annually. The CCA guidelines recommend that it is made public, posted on UNCT websites.
