The name of the organisation suggests that the United Nations Development Programme deals with the development of countries around the world. UNDP connects countries and provides them with resources for development. These resources can be anything from advice to training and grants.
Out of all the member states, UNDP considers the least developed countries the most. It was established in 1965 and now operates in 177 countries. It works in collaboration with the government to face the challenges to development.
The funding of the UNDP comes from voluntary contributions by the member states. Poverty reduction, energy and environment, HIV/AIDS, social development, democratic governance, and crisis prevention and recovery are the main foci of the UNDP.
