Organization Mission

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) operates in around 170 countries, focusing on eradicating poverty and reducing inequality and exclusion. It supports countries in developing policies, enhancing leadership and partnership skills, and building institutional capacities to foster sustainable development. UNDP implements various projects, providing technical, operational, and management assistance through methodologies, specialized knowledge, and a broad international network of cooperation. In Brazil, UNDP aligns its services with the country’s dynamic needs, collaborating with the government, international financial institutions, the private sector, and civil society to promote human development and poverty reduction. As countries face interconnected challenges such as economic stagnation and environmental crises, UNDP aims to create integrated responses to these issues and serves as a catalyst for collective action towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Its services include eligibility assessments, project formulation and implementation, capacity development, policy advice, advocacy, technical assistance, training, and knowledge management. The UNDP Country Office in Brazil partners with public and private institutions and civil society to foster a more sustainable and inclusive society by enhancing governance, reducing poverty and inequality, and addressing climate change and biodiversity. Its program portfolio consists of three interrelated work streams:
•Inclusive Socio-economic Development: Focused on poverty reduction, social policies, public-private partnerships, and inclusive markets.
•Environmentally Sustainable Development: Emphasizing nature-based solutions, climate change, energy efficiency, and sustainable production.
•Governance and Justice for Development: Concentrating on violence prevention, justice, transparency, anti-corruption, human rights, and local capacity development.
