The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the United Nations' global development network.
Headquartered in New York City, UNDP advocates for change and connects countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. It provides expert advice, training, and grant support to developing countries, with increasing emphasis on assistance to the least developed countries.
The status of UNDP is that of an executive board within the United Nations General Assembly. The UNDP Administrator is the third highest-ranking official of the United Nations after the United Nations Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General.
To accomplish the MDGs and encourage global development, UNDP focuses on poverty reduction, HIV/AIDS, democratic governance, energy and environment, social development, and crisis prevention and recovery. UNDP also encourages the protection of human rights and the empowerment of women in all of its programmes. The UNDP Human Development Report Office also publishes an annual Human Development Report (since 1990) to measure and analyse developmental progress. In addition to a global Report, UNDP publishes regional, national, and local Human Development Reports.
With more than 50 years of experience, UNDP offers a ‘whole of society’ approach to eradicate poverty and improve the lives of millions of people.
#GlobalGoals The SDGs are a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all human beings enjoy peace and prosperity. The Goals are a universal and bold commitment to both people and planet, and UNDP stands ready to implement this broad and ambitious agenda.
2014 was a year of huge humanitarian crises. From the conflict in Syria to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, from extreme weather events to democratic elections, the United Nations Development Programme was at the forefront of many of the challenges faced by the most vulnerable and exposed people in some of the poorest countries in the world.

More than 160 Ministers, Heads of Government and other senior officials from across the world met on 24 February 2016 in the United Nations General Assembly Hall to mark UNDP’s 50th Anniversary. The Ministerial Meeting was an occasion for Member States to commemorate UNDP’s 50th anniversary and chart a course for the future of global development. Governments shared their vision for the 2030 Agenda and how best UNDP could contribute to their efforts in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
On 10 October, 2010, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) staff members in more than 100 countries worldwide took part in a collaborative film project to document the work of UNDP. For many, this was their first time using a video camera. The result of their collaborative efforts is an 8 minute film highlighting the breath of UNDP's impact. It offers a glimpse into the daily operations of country offices across the globe, showcasing what UNDP does and how it manages its global partnerships. The film also highlights the diversity of cultures with which UNDP works and emphasizes the particular UN priority issues and Millennium Development Goals that UNDP addresses. The finished product, entitled "UNDP's One Day on Earth," takes on the form of a collage, capturing unprecedented video...
