The UNDP 2016 - 2020 Country Programme Document (CPD) was approved in the second annual session of the Executive Board Session on 2 September 2015. The Country Programme's primary objective is to foster diversified, resilient and sustainable development pathway in Algeria. The CDP is structured around two interdependent pillars and 5 outputs, notably : i) Support of non-hydrocarbon and environmentally sustainable sectorial strategies that generate income and create jobs for women and youth. (ii) building the capacities of central and local authorities for sustainable development planning and improved public services by focusing on pilot wilayas (governorates) and model municipalities. Two crosscutting strategic interventions will be fostered: i) strengthen evidence based analysis and national evaluation of public institutions and ii) capacity development of elected women to ensure greater participation in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and plans. The country programme will focus on strengthening national capacities for evaluation of development policies. Outcome and project evaluations will be carried out in close collaboration with institutional partners. UNDP will provide training in evaluation methods to national counterparts and will ensure quality assurance for these evaluations.
