UNDP and the UN

UNDP is central to the United Nations Development Group (UNDG),  a network that spans 165 countries and unites the 32 UN funds, programmes, specialized agencies and other bodies working to advance sustainable development. Chaired by the Deputy Secretary-General and with UNDP Administrator as Vice-Chair, the UNDG ensures coordination and coherence of the work of the UN Development System, implementation of key UNDG priorities, and management of the Resident Coordinator system.

UNDP has a critical advisory role in driving the development agenda, based on Member States’ priorities and country context and plays an important role in fostering coordination within the UN system at country level, including management of the UN Resident Coordinator system. UNDP participates in 66 “Delivering as One” initiatives, providing country-level support for implementation to reduce transaction costs and duplication of efforts while enhancing cost-effectiveness.

UNDP also reinforces joint action on development in such forums as the Economic and Social Council and the General Assembly of the United Nations.
