UN Albania launches new interactive dashboard mapping sustainable development activities

The new interactive GIS dashboard makes this easier than ever, mapping UN sustainable development activities across the 12 Administrative Units (Prefectures) of the country for 2024 (actual) and 2025 (planned), based on Joint Work Plan (JWP) sub-output data.

Developed in-house by our RCO Economist Aljaz Kuncic, with the expert support of Kazandra Zelaya, Online UNV, the dashboard features a user-friendly interface and multiple filters. Users can explore activities by Outcome Area, Agency/Fund/Programme (AFP), Country, Municipality, and Administrative Unit—individually or in combination. The map and visuals update instantly, showing the number of JWP sub-outputs, making it a powerful tool for planning, analysis, and field engagement.

“The dashboard is designed to inform anyone interested, including our government partners, development partners—and even ourselves—during field visits, by providing a clear picture of ongoing activities in specific districts,” says Aljaz Kuncic. “It also strengthens inter-agency collaboration by highlighting active projects, revealing potential synergies, and enabling better-aligned programming.”

The dashboard provides the necessary tools to calculate or indicate the volume of sub-outputs per agency based on the selected filters. A detailed table below the map lists the relevant sub-outputs and AFPs, giving an actionable overview and a quick entry point for follow-up. Users can focus on a single Outcome Area, one agency, or a specific geographic level—or combine these for a targeted perspective.

“This is a beta version, and improvements will continue” says Aljaz.  “I invite colleagues and partners to explore the dashboard, share feedback, and help strengthen this tool for advocacy, transparency, and data-driven coordination of UN development efforts in Albania.”
