VISION STATEMENT

WHAT DO WE DO?
UNDP has been supporting the Nepalese people in their struggle against poverty since it opened an in-country office in 1963. Much of this support has gone to building up the capacity of government agencies, civil society and community groups to fight poverty, and to bringing these groups and Nepal's donors together to design and implement successful poverty alleviation projects.
UNDP in Nepal concentrates its efforts for greater impact in the most remote, poor areas of Madhesh Province, Karnali Province and Sudurpaschim Province where its rights-based interventions are targeted towards the disadvantaged and vulnerable groups. The UNDP programmes seek opportunities for joint programming with other United Nations organizations and engage in joint planning and monitoring of development activities in selected districts.
UNDP's actions and programmes are defined in its Country Programme Document (CPD 2023-2027) which is aligned with priorities of the Government of Nepal. UNDP Executive Board in New York has approved
