What we do

As the United Nations’ development network, UNDP connects countries to global knowledge, experience and resources and assists them in strengthening capacity to create their own solutions to development challenges. To achieve this, we employ high-quality policy advice and advocacy, innovation at the grassroots, and strategic partnerships, focusing on the priority areas of Poverty Reduction, Democratic Governance, Environment and Energy, Crisis Prevention and Recovery, and HIV/AIDS. In all activities, we encourage the protection of human rights and the empowerment of women.
