The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the United Nations’ global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries with knowledge, experience, and resources to help people build better lives. It convenes collective action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP is the leading UN organization working to end poverty, reduce inequality, and build resilience to crises and disasters. With its extensive network of experts and partners in more than 170 countries, UNDP helps nations create integrated, sustainable solutions for people and the planet. UNDP is a key partner of the Global Fund, whose funding contributes to achieving health goals, particularly those outlined in the strategic plans for malaria, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis.
