United Nations begins new cooperation framework with Bolivia
La Paz, 26th June 2008.- At an official act today at the Bolivian Ministry of Planning, the Minister of Development Planning, Graciela Toro, signed the action plans pertaining to four United Nations Country Programmes (CPs) for the 2008-2012 period. The entities and their representatives were as follows: the United Nations System represented by its interim Resident Coordinator in Bolivia and Resident Representative for the WFP, Vitória Ginja; UNDP Adjoint Representative, Cielo Morales; UNICEF Representative Gordon Jonathan Lewis; and UNFPA’s Resident Representative, Jorge Parra. Designed under the principles of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF), the Programmes hold as a common strategic framework the guiding principles of the United Nations System in this country. They thus constitute an integrated, collective and coherent system of national needs and priorities, which are reflected in development plans and strategies based on the Millennium Declaration and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as well as on other Human Rights conferences and conventions.
