Background

The  Government  of  Mauritius  and  the  United  Nations  entered  into  a  Strategic  Partnership Framework (SPF) 2019-2023 on 20  August 2019. The agreement  constitutes  the development cooperation compact between the Government and the United Nations (UN). It is fully aligned to Mauritius’ National Vision, the three-year Strategic Plan, related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),  internationally  and  regionally  agreed  commitments  and  obligations,  including  human rights treaties, the SAMOA Pathway and the Africa Agenda 2063. The SPF consolidates the work of the UN system in a single coherent framework that provides a platform for common policy work and stronger coordination and delivery of results. Its primary focus is to support the ongoing transformation  of  Mauritius’s  economy  towards  high  income  country  status  while  ensuring sustainable job creation and economic growth, to secure lasting and inclusive prosperity, especially for vulnerable groups. The SPF was informed by a CCA conducted by the UN in collaboration with the GoM in 2018.
