OverviewUNDP is the UN's global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 166 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners. UNDP's current priority is to help all countries achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015, including the overarching goal of cutting extreme poverty in half. UNDP, using its worldwide network, is coordinating global and national efforts to reach these Goals. In Rwanda, UNDP works closely with the Government of Rwanda, as well as development partners, in order to build institutional capacity and effect sustainable development. What UNDP does in Rwanda
UNDP in Rwanda acts as the seat of the Resident Coordinator and
performs an important coordinating role with all other UN agencies,
including the World Bank and the IMF. UNDP is responsible for
collecting and compiling information which contributes to the annual Human Development Report, in which Rwanda most recently was ranked 161 out of 177 countries.
Throughout these five areas, UNDP advocates for gender equality and
the empowerment of women. In all programme areas, a clear and
determined focus exists to work towards achieving the Millennium
Development Goals. Contact info in Rwanda
