UNDP is the United Nations' global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 177 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. UNDP's network links and coordinates global and national efforts to reach these Goals. Our focus is helping countries build and share solutions to the challenges of:
• Democratic Governance
• Poverty Reduction
• Crisis Prevention & Recovery
• Environment & Energy
• HIV/AIDS
UNDP promotes sustainable human development and inclusive growth and development through effective partnerships with UN agencies and by mobilizing key development stakeholders. In line with this aim and as stipulated in the Strategic Plan for 2008 to 2011, of achieving rapid progress on global and national development challenges, UNDP designed four strategic development focus areas with a focus on gender equality across all areas below:
• Poverty reduction and achievement of the MDGs;
• Democratic governance;
• Crisis prevention and recovery; and
• Environment and sustainable development.
In Ethiopia, UNDP works to support the Government of Ethiopia to help the country achieve the development goals as defined in national five year development plan, the Growth and Transformation (GTP) for the years 2010/11-2014/15. The GTP, as was the case with Ethiopia’s previous five year national plans, complements the country’s efforts to meet the MDG.
UNDP Ethiopia’s Country Programme Document as well as the Country Programme Action Plan are aligned to the GTP. The same is true of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF –2011 - 2015), which aims to ensure optimal coherence and coordination of the assistance provided by various UN agencies.
UNDP’s key interventions in Ethiopia fall under these three programme pillars:
• Growth and Poverty Reduction
• Climate Change and Environment Vulnerability
• Governance
Gender equality and Information and Communication Technology are treated as cross cutting issues.
UNDP's operations in Ethiopia are based on the Standard Basic Assistance Agreement signed between the Government of Ethiopia and UNDP in 1981. The provision of UNDP services to the Government of Ethiopia is defined in the Letter of Agreement. Standard procedures relating to the implementation of development projects and programmes are agreed between Government counterparts and UNDP as described in the National Execution Manual .
