Denmarks Engagement with UNDP

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) plays a key role in ensuring operational coherence in the United Nation's support to developing countries in implementing the 2030 Agenda. With a presence in 170 countries, the UNDP is a key advisor to developing countries on an integrated national approach to the SDGs under the overall leadership of the UN Resident Coordinators.

UNDP has a strategic focus on sustainable and inclusive growth, democratic governance and peacebuilding, gender equality and building resilience. UNDP contributes to the prevention and management of protracted refugee and displacement crises in collaboration with other humanitarian organizations and host countries.

UNDP's work is particularly relevant to SDG 1 (End poverty), SDG 5 (Gender equality), SDG 10 (Reducing inequality), SDG 16 (Peace, justice and strong institutions) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for action).

UNDP is also a key player in strengthening countries' ability to tackle climate change and ensure a green transition, as UNDP has the largest green project portfolio in the UN. UNDP supports more than 100 countries in preparing and implementing their Nationally Determined Contribution Plans under the Paris Agreement and in placing both the SDGs and climate at the center of developing countries' development plans and financial policies.

Denmark's engagement with UNDP is anchored in the multilateral partnership agreement between Denmark and UNDP for the period 2023-2025.
