The Common Country
Assessment (CCA) is a country-based process for reviewing and
analysing the national development situation and identifying key
issues as a basis for advocacy, policy dialogue and preparation of
the UNDAF. The findings emerging from this exercise are described in
a CCA document. This process is participatory, dynamic and
continuous; it ensures learning from prior experience, brings in the
UN system organizations' combined knowledge, know-how and new ideas,
advocates new approaches, reaches new or revised consensus and
updates the CCA document accordingly.
