Kiribati - UNESCO Country Programming Document, 2008-2013

The Kiribati UNESCO Country Programming Document has been developed with the aim to directly address the development needs of Kiribati. The program has been aligned with the Kiribati Development Plan 2008-11 and the planning work of relevant stakeholders, including other United Nations (UN) agencies.

The upcoming cooperation between Kiribati and UNESCO, as outlined in the following report, should be viewed as flexible and adaptable to the needs of Kiribati. The KUCPD is therefore a rolling document that will be reviewed at the end of every biennium in an effort to make the document as well as UNESCO’s support relevant and in line with the changing country context. The KUCPD also provides a strategic entry point for UNESCO into the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for the Pacific Subregion process especially to the Kiribati UNDAF implementation plan for 2008 – 2012.
