Global status in 2025
The UN Sustainable Development Goals Report 2025 reports that official development assistance fell by 7.1 per cent in 2024 after five years of growth, that debt-servicing costs for low- and middle-income countries reached a record USD 1.4 trillion, and that the annual SDG financing gap in developing countries stands at an estimated USD 4 trillion — making private-sector partnership and investment more consequential, not less.

European and Albanian context
No single organisation delivers the 2030 Agenda. For NOVARIC®, partnership means structured collaboration with employers, educational institutions, public authorities, civil-society organisations and international frameworks — the UN Global Compact, ILO Fair Recruitment Initiative and OECD-aligned practice among them.
NOVARIC® implementation commitments
- Maintain structured partnerships with employers, vocational institutions and public authorities in Albania, Malta and destination markets.
- Align partnership conduct with the UN Global Compact principles and the ILO Fair Recruitment Initiative.
- Share non-confidential methodology — including elements of this Manual's toolkit — to raise recruitment standards across the sector.
- Participate in multi-stakeholder initiatives on ethical recruitment, skills development and responsible AI.
Key performance indicators
Measured through the Manual's 90-indicator register (browse the full register):
- GOV-14 Active framework partnerships
- SOC-20 Methodology-sharing outputs
- EDU-11 Institutional training partnerships
- GOV-15 Partnership review completion
NOVARIC® treats partnerships as governed relationships: each carries defined objectives, named owners and an annual effectiveness review. Partnerships that cannot demonstrate contribution to the Manual's commitments are restructured or concluded.
