In November, Felipe Sol\u00e1, Foreign Affairs minister, joined Roberto Valent, UN Resident Coordinator in Argentina, with the objective of signing a new Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework for 2021-2025 (UNSDCF). This represents a great opportunity for the country, as it manifests the support from the UN in the achievement of the Agenda 2030 and it\u2019s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n
This is the third cooperation framework between the UN and Argentina. What\u2019s more, it is the result of a collaborative analysis and planning involving different sectors: governmental representatives, civil society, academics and private sector. RACI, as representative of the non-profit sector, had the opportunity of contributing by facilitating a space for dialogue and exchange among member organizations.<\/p>\n
The UNSDCF focuses on \u201cfour principal dimensions: Economic, Social, Environmental and Governance, and other six cross-sectional areas: Human Rights Approach, Gender Approach, not leaving anyone behind, Territory, Environmental Sustainability and COVID-19\u2019s impact.<\/p>\n
As mentioned above, this framework represents a greater step towards strengthening international cooperation. In words of Roberto Valent, \u201cwe believe it will serve to support the country\u2019s solutions and responses in the economic, social and environmental spheres\u201d.<\/p>\n
