The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the United Nations' global development network
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.
This is a critical time for the world
At UNDP, we see this period as a huge opportunity to advance the global sustainable development agenda
In September 2015, world leaders adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity
UNDP is working to strengthen new frameworks for development, disaster risk reduction and climate change
We support countries' efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, or Global Goals, which will guide global development priorities through 2030
