The “Methodology for monitoring and evaluation of local social care plan implementation” has been developed by UNDP Albania in close coordination with Ministry of Health and Social Protection in the framework of the United Nations Joint Program "Improving the Delivery of Local Social Protection Services" funded by the SDG Fund. It will be used by municipal officials, social workers, and other professionals. The process of participatory design, monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of local social care plans aims that every Albanian citizen regardless of income, origin, age, gender, ethnicity, education, sexual orientation, cultural identity, political and religious beliefs,
enjoys quality public social services.

The United Nations Joint Program "Improving the Delivery of Local Social Protection Services" is providing technical assistance to the municipalities of Tirana, Rrogozhina, Devoll, Kamza, Puka and Pogradec to design and administer local social plans and provide integrated social services. This program is implemented by the Government of Albania in partnership with four UN Agencies, including UNDP, UNICEF, UN Women and WHO and with the participation of UNFPA and ILO, and is funded by the Joint Development Objectives Fund (SDG Fund). The program aims to support the Government of Albania to translate the policy goal into appropriate local action so that men, women, girls and boys living in poverty, or situations in need, have access to appropriate integrated services and quality social care and supports the overall vision of an inclusive Albania.
