As the UN’s development agency, UNDP supports country-led efforts to implement the Agenda 2030 and achieve the sustainable development goals. It works on multi-sectoral, integrated approaches to help countries eradicate poverty, accelerate structural transformation for sustainable development, and build resilience to crises and shocks.
