The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN’s global development network, working in 177 countries and territories.UNDP is fully engaged in supporting Malaysia’s national priorities and the implementation of national medium and long-term development plans such as the 11th Malaysia Plan and other sectoral development policies and strategies. The Country Programme consciously attempts to link strategic policy initiatives with downstream pilot projects so that our work is informed by ground realities and that our projects support national development objectives and remain consistent with the national development plans. Through local community based initiatives, we have piloted new and innovative development methodologies that can be adopted and scaled up throughout the country. Today, all of UNDP projects in Malaysia are nationally executed, involving more than ten federal ministries and agencies and located in more than 6 states.
