UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and exclusion, and build resilience so countries can sustain progress. As the UN’s development agency, UNDP plays a critical role in helping countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
The organization focuses on creating prosperity for everyone, strengthening governance, building crisis resilience, and ensuring a healthy planet. It advances progress through digital technology and AI, women’s rights and equality, and sustainable finance, all grounded in human rights and a commitment to reach those left furthest behind.
UNDP has been supporting countries for 60 years through long-term partnerships with governments, communities, and organizations. It operates in some of the world’s toughest places, connecting humanitarian relief with sustainable development efforts.
