UN Iran Country Results Report 2019

The UN Iran Country Results Report 2019 is prepared in line with the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 67/226 on the Quadrennial

Comprehensive Policy Review and Resolution 72/729 on repositioning of the UN Development System. It illustrates the collective results achieved

by the United Nations System in Iran during the course of 2019 in addressing the country’s national development and humanitarian priorities, alongside

national and international partners. This support is provided under the chapeau of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF)

2017-2021, which is a strategic and programmatic framework of cooperation between the United Nations and the Islamic Republic of Iran, with

priorities identified in line with the Government of Iran’s 6th Five-Year Economic, Cultural and Social Development Plan 2017-2021. The United Nations

humanitarian agencies operate outside the UNDAF based on their respective frameworks i.e. the Solutions Strategy for Afghan Refugees (SSAR)

for UNHCR, the Interim Country Strategic Plan (ICPS) for WFP, and IOM activities being guided by a Memorandum of Understanding signed with the

Government of Iran.
