UNDP - The Global MandateUNDP is the UN's global development network, advocating for change
and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help
to assist countries contribute to the development of the country and
help improve their people's livelihood. We are on the ground in 166
countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national
development challenges. UNDP helps developing countries in strengthening their capacity to deliver goods and services, attract and use aid effectively in a transparent and accountable manner. In all our activities, we promote the protection of human rights and the empowerment of women. UNDP in Papua New GuineaUNDP's assistance to the Government of Papua New Guinea is based on the Standard Basic Assistance Agreement (SBAA) which was signed in April 1981.
These outcome areas have been singled out by the Government of Papua New Guinea as essential components of its overall strategy for nation building. Through the nation building lens, the United Nations will systematically focus on developing a deeper understanding of the root causes of poverty and conflict by examining strategies for working to address potential instability and manage conflict more effectively, and assessing the potential role of all key stakeholders in contributing to nation building.
The key strategies on which the UN Country Programme is founded are
capacity development, promotion of human rights and the application
of the human rights approach to programming, decentralization and strengthening
of civil society, promotion of evidence-based monitoring systems, the
mainstreaming of gender equality and opportunities for women, fighting
HIV and AIDS, and youth development. |
