Mission and objectives
UNDP’s mandate is to end poverty, build democratic governance, rule of law, and inclusive institutions. We advocate for change, and connect countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life.

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has partnered with Bangladesh ever since its birth and through its remarkable journey from a war-ravaged economy to a middle-income country. It remains a catalyst in Bangladesh’s journey from Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. UNDP assists in building institutions and helps strengthen institutional capacities through people-centric, pro-poor, inclusive and sustainable policy making and development governance.
Context
Bangladesh’s ambitious journey towards realizing the Smart Bangladesh Vision 2041, culminating in achieving High-Income Country (HIC) status, will be significantly accelerated through youth empowerment nationwide.

UNDP Futurenation project’s initiative is dedicated to creating economic opportunities for all through a range of initiatives aimed at upskilling youth, promoting employment, and nurturing entrepreneurship. At its core, Futurenation seeks to equip individuals with vital skill sets, opening doors to meaningful employment and empowering them to pursue entrepreneurial ventures. As part of the Futurenation movement, which aims to redefine Bangladesh’s economic trajectory, particular emphasis is placed on empowering youth, particularly women, by providing employment opportunities and cultivating an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Through these efforts, Futurenation remains committed in its commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind on the path to economic prosperity.

The mission is to enable relevant government institutions and connect with industry actors to accelerate economic opportunities through upskilling & enablement for the country’s millions of women and youth. Futurenation aims to cultivate a conducive investment climate and foster a robust entrepreneurship ecosystem, transforming the country’s population dividend into the key driving force of the economy. The core objective of Futurenation is to equip individuals with the essential skillsets, providing them with access to meaningful employment opportunities and empowering them to embark on entrepreneurial endeavors.
