Statement
Established in Sudan in 1965, UNDP is the lead
development agency in the country. We are empowering
people across Sudan to achieve sustainable peace
and development. All our development efforts support
the implementation of the peace agreements across
the country. Whether in Khartoum, Juba, El-Fasher
or Kassala, our strategic interventions aim to
develop the capacity of institutions, civil society,
and communities to help them consolidate peace,
prevent more conflicts, and build a better life.
In partnership with national and international
development partners, we are promoting an environment
that fosters democratic governance, enhances human
security, reduces poverty and diseases, empowers
women, ensures environmental sustainability, and
contributes to achieving the Millennium Development
Goals by 2015.
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.
