Organization Mission

UNDP works with the Government and people of Pakistan to develop local solutions to development challenges. In an evolving development context, we support Pakistan’s efforts to build a more equitable, prosperous, peaceful and resilient society, and to achieve its SDGs and COP25 targets. UNDP promotes transformational change by fostering strategic partnerships with national counterparts in the federal, provincial and regional governments, civil society, the private sector and the local and international community. UNDP supports transformational change by providing technical assistance focusing on developing capacity within national and local authorities, providing solutions with strong monitoring and evaluation tools, and delivering programmes with maximum efficiency, transparency and accountability.

UNDP’s ultimate goal is to improve the lives of the people of Pakistan through keeping people out of poverty; governance for peaceful, just and inclusive societies; crisis prevention and increased resilience; nature-based solutions for development; clean affordable energy; and women”s empowerment and gender equality.

Context

Between June and August 2022, torrential rains and a combination of riverine, urban, and flash flooding led to an unprecedented and devastating disaster in Pakistan that led to a huge humanitarian crisis and set back Pakistan’s development trajectory considerably. With support from the Government of German through KfW Development Bank (KfW), UNDP has launched the Flood Reconstruction and Coordination Programme which aims to deliver results in the three concrete areas, i.e.,

(1) improved transparency and accountability of the financial resources being allocated for flood recovery through enhanced Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) systems.

(2) improved governance mechanisms and capacities for resilient flood recovery; and

(3) enhanced recovery support through reconstruction of houses and rehabilitation of community physical infrastructure in Quetta district.
