UN Development

UNDP, the United Nations Development Programme, is the leading agency on international development, operating in 170 countries and territories. Our mission is to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality by assisting countries in developing policies, leadership skills, and institutional capabilities. We work towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals with a focus on sustainable development, democratic governance and peace-building, and climate and disaster resilience.

Our mandate is to end poverty, build democratic governance, and advocate for change, connecting countries to knowledge, experience, and resources, to help people build a better life. Founded in 1966, UNDP is based on the merging of the United Nations Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance and the United Nations Special Fund. Our work is guided by the principles of maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations, and achieving international cooperation in solving economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian challenges. Join us in making a positive impact on the world.
