Project Description
This grant represents Canada's institutional support to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). UNDP uses these funds along with other donors' funding to achieve its mandate. UNDP has a dual mandate within the UN family: 1) UNDP works to advance human development through the provision of policy and technical assistance to program countries to achieve poverty reduction; and 2) UNDP plays a lead role in UN reform efforts coordinating UN institutions at the country level as manager of the Resident Coordinator system and Chair of the UN Development Group.
