Description:
UNDP is the UN's global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries
to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on
the ground in 166 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development
challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide
range of partners.
World leaders have pledged to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, including the overarching goal
of cutting poverty in half by 2015. UNDP's network links and coordinates global and
national efforts to reach these Goals. Our focus is helping countries build and share solutions to the
challenges of:
* Democratic Governance
* Poverty Reduction
* Crisis Prevention and Recovery
* Environment and Energy
* HIV/AIDS
UNDP helps developing countries attract and use aid effectively. In all our activities, we encourage
the protection of human rights and the empowerment of women.
The annual Human Development Report, commissioned by UNDP, focuses the global debate on key development
issues, providing new measurement tools, innovative analysis and often controversial
policy proposals. The global Report's analytical framework and inclusive approach carry over into regional,
national and local Human Development Reports, also supported by UNDP.
In each country office, the UNDP Resident Representative normally also serves as the Resident Coordinator
of development activities for the United Nations system as a whole. Through such
coordination, UNDP seeks to ensure the most effective use of UN and international aid resources.
