Common Country Assessment (CCA)
It is an all-in-one analysis tool produced with inter-agency collaboration. It outlines the basic status of human development needs in the country, as well as the social, economic and political context. It also presents a range of data that leads directly to the formulation of UN programmes and the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF).
The first CCA in Syria was produced in 2005.
