Common Country Analysis - 2023 Update

The new generation Common Country Analysis (CCA) refers not only to a document/report, but rather to the ongoing analytical function of the United Nations system in programme countries. The CCA is being updated to identify actual or anticipated shifts in national development landscape. It serves to provide an updated public analysis by the UN to stakeholders and partners, helping the UN and partners identify course corrections that might be needed in implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF). The regularly updated analysis also allows the UNCT to engage with government and other relevant stakeholders in policy dialogue and advocacy about pathways towards achieving the SDGs.

In 2023, the UN Country Team continues presenting the findings of the Country Analysis as the combination of the following evidence products:

• Country Situation Update providing developmental trends to identify gaps in SDG financing around 5P (People, Prosperity, Planet, Peace and Partnerships) dimensions;
• Results Groups Factsheets covering five outcomes of the UNSDCF for 2021-2025 to facilitate the discussions of the joint results and work plans around SDG acceleration areas;
• Policy Briefs to inform policy dialogues and joint proposals for SDG financing to support the National Commitments to SDG Transformation, fully aligned with Turkmenistan’s Strategies and Programmes and UN SDG transitions and submitted to the 2023 SDG Summit.

The current package of the Policy Briefs covers areas of just green energy transition, digital public infrastructure development and SDG financing in Turkmenistan. It complements 2022 CCA update which, following the 2030 Agenda LNOB principle, used the advantage of the new data from the two population[1]based surveys (on Persons with Disabilities and Women’s Health and Family Status) to uncover the situation of the groups most at risk of being left behind as defined in the initial CCA.

Some changes in data and indicators are possible after receiving additional feedback from the government following the UN Country Team presentations at the UNSDCF Results Groups and the UNSDCF Steering Committee Meetings.
