United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN’s global development network, 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.
