UNDP is based on the merging of the United Nations Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance, created in 1949, and the United Nations Special Fund, established in 1958. UNDP, as we know it now, was established in 1966 by the General Assembly of the United Nations.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is one of the leading development agencies globally, operating in over 170 countries and territories.

UNDP plays a crucial role in addressing climate change challenges by supporting countries in implementing climate resilience and adaptation measures. It also promotes sustainable land management, biodiversity conservation, and the adoption of clean energy technologies.
