UNDP in Ethiopia

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works in partnership with governments of 166 countries to assist them to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and find their own respective solutions:

  • to fight poverty,
  • to uphold good governance,
  • to mitigate crisis and vulnerability,
  • to protect environment, and
  • to promote gender equality.

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:

UNDP in Ethiopia works to support the Government of Ethiopia in achieving the development goals as defined in the Plan for Accelerated and Sustainable Development to End Poverty (PASDEP). The PASDEP was formulated based on the MDG needs assessment and is fully aligned with the global effort to achieve MDGs. The Country Programme Document as well as the Country Programme Action Plan of UNDP Ethiopia are designed in support of PASDEP and within the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF 2007 - 2010) to ensure optimal coherence and coordination of the assistance provided by various UN agencies.

UNDP’s key interventions in the country are taking place in the following areas:

  • Reducing poverty and working towards the achievement of the MDGs;
  • Deepening democratic governance;
  • Addressing HIV and AIDS epidemic; and
  • Food security, recovery and natural resources management.

Gender equality and Information and Communication Technology are cross cutting issues across the above areas.

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 .
