Responding to Country Needs
Country Support Package
PAGE tools & services are tailored to the unique starting points, needs and circumstances of each partner country to help develop its own pathway to green recovery, circularity and an inclusive green economy. Synchronizing short-term rescue efforts with long-term economic planning, and aligning them with global sustainability commitments is necessary to address the root causes of environmental degradation and social inequalities.
PAGE has emerged as an innovative model of inter-agency cooperation for other UN initiatives that seek to deliver as one. The partnership offers a comprehensive, coordinated and cost-effective package of economic and scientific analytical tools, technical assistance for policy development, and capacity building services for policy implementation.
Countries join PAGE through a criteria-based selection process, which has become a competitive process. Country support is time-bound and results-oriented and subject to commitments of interested governments and stakeholders. PAGE has a track record of providing demand-driven policy and capacity-building support helping countries move towards circularity and a green economy.
