To accomplish the objectives and prioritized national development set forth by host countries, UNDP links and organizes international and national activities. Five developmental problems are the main areas of concentration for UNDP:

  • Democratic Governance

The UNDP supports national democratic transitions by offering policy guidance and technical assistance, enhancing institutional and individual capacity within nations, promoting negotiation and dialogue, and sharing successful experiences from other nations and locations. It also educates populations about and advocates for democratic reforms. By fostering consensus on national governance programs and fostering national discourse, UNDP also strengthens the democratic institutions already in place.
