The final report of the UN Joint Programme “Improving Municipal Social Protection Service Delivery” (IMSPSD) in Albania. This programme is implemented by the Participating UN Organizations (PUNO) – joint participation of UNDP, UNICEF, UN Women, WHO, with the contribution of ILO, UNFPA and UNHCR – over the period from January 2020 to June 2022 (following a 5-months no-cost extension). The total programme budget is USD $1,724,119 – USD $1,500,000 resourced from the UN Joint SDG Fund (87%); USD $124,119 (7%) resourced from the regular or core resources of the PUNOs; USD $100,000 (6%) resourced from the Albania SDG Acceleration Fund as government co-funding. The programme goal is to support the Albanian Government (GoA) translate its policy intent (regarding social protection and social care service reform and social inclusion policy) into proper local actions so that men, women, girls and boys living in poverty, or vulnerable situation have access to integrated, quality social care services. IMSPSD is implemented by the PUNOs working in close partnership with relevant government bodies at central and local level – notably the Ministry of Health and Social Protection (MHSP), and the Local Government Units (LGUs) in the municipalities targeted for programme support – and social service providers, independent institutions and civil society organizations (CSOs).
