Wikis > United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations global
development network, is the largest multilateral source of development
assistance in the world. It was founded in 1965 to combine the Expanded
Programme of Technical Assistance and the United Nations Special Fund. In 1971,
the two organizations were fully combined into the UNDP. The UNDP is an
executive board within the United Nations General Assembly. The UNDP
Administrator is the third highest ranking member of the United Nations after
the United Nations Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General.



Headquartered in New York City, the UNDP is funded entirely by voluntary
contributions from member nations. The organization has country offices in 166
countries, where it works with local governments to meet development challenges
and develop local capacity.

UNDP provides expert advice, training, and grant support to developing
countries, with increasing emphasis on assistance to the least developed
countries. To accomplish the MDGs and encourage global development, UNDP focuses
on poverty reduction, HIV/AIDS, democratic governance, energy and environment,
and crisis prevention and recovery. UNDP also encourages the protection of human
rights and the empowerment of women in all of its programs.

Furthermore, UNDP publishes an annual Human Development Report to measure and
analyze developmental progress. In addition to a global Report, UNDP publishes
regional, national, and local Human Development Reports.

FUNCTIONS

UNDP’s offices and staff are on the ground in 166 countries, working with
governments and local communities to help them find solutions to global and
national development challenges.

UNDP links and coordinates global and national efforts to achieve the goals and
national development priorities laid out by host countries. UNDP focuses
primarily on five developmental challenges:

Democratic governance UNDP supports national democratic transitions by providing
policy advice and technical support, improving institutional and individual
capacity within countries, educating populations about and advocating for
democratic reforms, promoting negotiation and dialogue, and sharing successful
experiences from other countries and locations. UNDP also supports existing
democratic institutions by increasing dialogue, enhancing national debate, and
facilitating consensus on national governance programs.

Poverty reduction UNDP helps countries develop strategies to combat poverty by
expanding access to economic opportunities and resources, linking poverty
programs with countries’ larger goals and policies, and ensuring a greater voice
for the poor. UNDP also works at the macro level to reform trade, encourage debt
relief and foreign investment, and ensure the poorest of the poor benefit from
globalisation.

On the ground, UNDP sponsors developmental pilot projects, promotes the role of
women in development, and coordinates efforts between governments, NGOs, and
outside donors. In this way, UNDP works with local leaders and governments to
provide opportunities for impoverished people to create businesses and improve
their economic condition.

Crisis prevention and recovery UNDP works to reduce the risk of armed conflicts
or disasters, and promote early recovery after crises have occurred. UNDP works
through its country offices to support local government in needs assessment,
capacity development, coordinated planning, and policy and standard setting.

Examples of UNDP risk reduction programs include efforts to control small arms
proliferation, strategies to reduce the impact of natural disasters, and
programs to encourage use of diplomacy and prevent violence.

Recovery programs include disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of
ex-combatants, demining efforts, programs to reintegrate displaced persons,
restoration of basic services, and transitional justice systems for countries
recovering from warfare.

Environment and Energy As the poor are disproportionately affected by
environmental degradation and lack of access to clean, affordable energy
services, UNDP seeks to address environmental issues in order to improve
developing countries’ abilities to develop sustainably. UNDP works with
countries to strengthen their capacity to address global environmental issues by
providing innovative policy advice and linking partners through environmentally
sensitive development projects that help poor people build sustainable
livelihoods.

UNDP’s environmental strategy focuses on effective water governance, access to
sustainable energy services, Sustainable land management to combat
desertification and land degradation, conservation and sustainable use of
biodiversity, and policies to control emissions of harmful pollutants and
ozone-depleting substances.

Human Rights and HIV/AIDS UNDP believes that human rights violations and
inequitable gender relations continue to fuel the spread of the HIV epidemic.
Working with United NationsAIDS, of which it is a co-sponsor, UNDP helps
countries put HIV/AIDS at the centre of national development and poverty
reduction strategies; build national capacity to mobilize all levels of
government and civil society for a coordinated and effective response to the
epidemic; and protect the rights of people living with AIDS, women, and
vulnerable populations. This includes addressing stigma, discrimination, and
gender relations that render women and girls vulnerable to infection, and
promoting legislative and other measures to ensure the full enjoyment of human
rights.


UN CO-ORDINATION ROLE

UNDP plays a significant co-ordination role for the UN’s activities in the field
of development. This is mainly executed through its leadership of the UN
Development Group and through the Resident Co-ordinator System.


UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT GROUP

The United Nations Development Group (UNDG) was created by the Secretary General
in 1997, to improve the effectiveness of UN development at the country level.
The UNDG brings together the operational agencies working on development. The
Group is chaired by the Administrator of UNDP. UNDP also provides the
Secretariat to the Group.

The UNDG develops policies and procedures that allow member agencies to work
together and analyse country issues, plan support strategies, implement support
programmes, monitor results and advocate for change. These initiatives increase
UN impact in helping countries achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs),
including poverty reduction.


RESIDENT CO-ORDINATOR SYSTEM

The Resident Coordinator system co-ordinates all organizations of the United
Nations system dealing with operational activities for development in the field.
The RC system aims to bring together the different UN agencies to improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of operational activities at the country level.
Resident Coordinators, who are funded, appointed and managed by UNDP, lead UN
country teams in more than 130 countries and are the designated representatives
of the Secretary-General for development operations. Working closely with
national governments, Resident Coordinators and country teams advocate the
interests and mandates of the UN drawing on the support and guidance of the
entire UN family.


WORK ON GENDER

UNDP works closely with the UN Women on gender-related issues. UNDP focuses its
activities related to achieving gender equality on two complementary approaches:
mainstreaming gender and promoting women’s empowerment. It does so in all of its
practice areas.

UNDP has established a Gender Thematic Trust Fund (GTTF), through which it is
focusing on gender mainstreaming in order to meet the challenges of reaching
gender equality and achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The GTTF
supports programme countries in their efforts to mainstream gender throughout
all of their programme work. It is intended to enable institutional and cultural
transformation processes, including: eliminating gender biases in development
frameworks and paradigms; incorporating gender awareness into policies,
programmes and institutional reforms; involving men to end gender inequality;
and developing gender-sensitive tools to monitor progress and ensure
accountability.
