Recovery and sustainable livelihoods
This programme supports vulnerable communities by providing pro-poor social services towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals . Centred on community support, it strives to increase their income, improve their ability to manage natural resources, and mitigate the impact of disasters.

HIV/AIDS
UNDP tackles the issues that come with HIV/AIDS in every aspect of its work. UNDP supports the three zonal AIDS commissions, works closely with religious leaders and Somali universities and has made HIV/AIDS awareness a part of the training programme for the police, custodial and armed forces.

Support towards reaching the MDGs
UNDP supports Somalis to develop strategies geared towards achieving the Millenium Development Goals. The Inclusive Growth and Development in Somalia Project will increase awareness and advocacy on MDGs, strengthen the institutional capacity of the Ministry of Planning and line ministries, and create awareness of the need for poverty monitoring.

Governance
The Governance Programme promotes national and local institutions and serves to steward Somalia’s establishment of good governance and public accountability in an environment where government functions are nascent or non-existent.

Rule of law and security
UNDP’s Rule of Law and Security Programme works towards improved security and protection under the law for all Somalis. It seeks to advance human development by strengthening national and local capacities to prevent, mitigate and cope with the impact of
violence.
