What is the focus of the work of the UN in India?

The UN works in India in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Framework (UNSDF). It is a framework that takes into consideration both national priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The UN strives to improve the lives of the most marginalized poor, and vulnerable communities of the country, especially women and girls. As the government of India suggests, ‘Development for All’ is the focus of the UN. The work of the United Nations in India pertains to the following:

  • poverty and urbanization
  • health, water, and sanitation
  • nutrition and food security
  • climate change, clean energy, and disaster resilience
  • education
  • skilling, entrepreneurship, and job creation, and
  • gender equality and youth development
