General information about UNDP

UNDP is the UN's 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 166 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners.
World leaders have pledged to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, including the overarching goal of cutting poverty in half by 2015. 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 and Recovery
• Energy and Environment
• HIV/AIDS

UNDP helps developing countries attract and use aid effectively. In all our activities, we encourage the protection of human rights and the empowerment of women.
The annual Human Development Report, commissioned by UNDP, focuses the global debate on key development issues, providing new measurement tools, innovative analysis and often controversial policy proposals. The global Report's analytical framework and inclusive approach carry over into regional, national and local Human Development Reports, also supported by UNDP.
In each country office, the UNDP Resident Representative normally also serves as the Resident Coordinator of development activities for the United Nations system as a whole. Through such coordination, UNDP seeks to ensure the most effective use of UN and international aid resources.

UNDP Uzbekistan Country Office

UNDP opened its representative office in Uzbekistan in January 1993. During its more than decade-long experience here, UNDP has been committed to enhancing the development situation in the country.  UNDP has worked intensively to support the Government, civil society and people in Uzbekistan to overcome the numerous challenges of transition.  UNDP has assisted governmental and non-governmental institutions in obtaining the knowledge, experience and resources needed to successfully pursue economic and social reforms to ensure a good and promising future for the Uzbek people.

UNDP assistance in Uzbekistan, through its current country program action plan (2010-2015) focuses on two overall, inter-linked objectives; to support the Government in advancing economic and democratic reforms; and strengthening and fostering the participation of civil society in development processes at national and local levels. UNDP’s work is concentrating on three thematic areas:

1. economic governance and poverty reduction;
2. environmental governance;
3. democratic governance.

Special attention is paid to mainstreaming the use of information and communication technologies as well as gender, and to applying human-rights-based and participatory approaches throughout the program.
