United Nations Development Programme

UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty, and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results.

 

UNDP's Strategic Plan (2018-2021) has been designed to be responsive to the wide diversity of the countries we serve. The diversity is reflected in three broad development contexts:

• Eradicate poverty in all its forms and dimensions
• Accelerate structural transformations
• Build resilience to shocks and crises

To respond to these issues, and better focus its resources and expertise to deliver on the 2030 Agenda, UNDP has identified a set of approaches that we call our Signature Solutions:

• Keeping people out of POVERTY
• GOVERNANCE for peaceful, just, and inclusive societies
• Crisis prevention and increased RESILIENCE
• ENVIRONMENT: nature-based solutions for development
• Clean, affordable ENERGY
• Women's empowerment and GENDER equality
