UNDP - United Nations Development Programme

Published purpose

This grant represents Canada's institutional support to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). UNDP uses these funds, along with other donors' funding, to achieve its mandate. UNDP has a dual mandate within the UN family: 1) UNDP works to advance human development through the provision of policy and technical assistance to program countries to achieve poverty reduction; and 2) UNDP plays a lead role in UN reform efforts, coordinating UN institutions at the country level, as manager of the Resident Coordinator system and Chair of the UN Development Group. Canada's support to UNDP contributes to the delivery of UNDP's overarching mission to help countries build their own national capacity to achieve sustainable human development.
