The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) issued the “UN Strategic Framework for Afghanistan” for the period of 2023-2025 on Monday.
According to a UNAMA statement, the document outlines the priorities of the UN in support of the Afghan people.
The UN agency stressed that the strategic framework articulates the organisation’s approach to addressing basic human needs in Afghanistan, prioritising the needs and rights of those most vulnerable, including women and girls, internally displaced persons, refugees, and ethnic and religious minorities.
UNAMA added that the strategic framework was developed in close consultation with UN member states, partners, and stakeholders.
Based on the UN Strategic Framework, UN agencies will focus on economic opportunities and resilient livelihoods, sustained essential services, social cohesion, inclusion, gender equality, human rights, and the rule of law.
According to the 74-page document, there will be a special focus on the delivery of principled assistance in response to the increasingly restrictive environment facing all Afghans, in particular women and girls.
According to the organisation, whether the UN can fully implement this framework will depend on actions by the Taliban and the support of donors.
