UNESCO and NORCAP reaffirm strong will to enhance partnership through strategic dialogue
The world is changing, and so are UNESCO and NORCAP. With UNESCO鈥檚 new Medium-Term Strategy for 2022-2029, we aim to become a more effective and impactful organization at the country level. Building on our good collaboration and learning from each other, I hope that we will build a more strategic partnership that has a greater impact on the people we serve.
The meeting started with a strategic dialogue, followed by thematic exchanges on topics such as UNESCO鈥檚 action for Ukraine, freedom of expression and safety of journalists, education in emergencies, and . Opportunities to work jointly on the issue of climate change came up across different thematic sessions. UNESCO and NORCAP also discussed ways of engaging including stand-by collaboration (rapid deployment of experts on the ground), joint programming and fundraising.
I have witnessed a positive evolution of collaboration between NORCAP and UNESCO since the 90鈥檚. We really appreciate an open dialogue with UNESCO which allows us to understand where we are at in our partnership and follow up for our future cooperation.
