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.  |

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. | Gender equality Making gender equality a reality is a core commitment of UNDP. As a crosscutting issue, gender is being addressed in all projects and activities.  |
