What we do
The United Nations Development Programme works to achieve the eradication of poverty and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. We help develop policies, skills and institutional capability; foster new partnerships and systems; and build the resilience needed to sustain development results and adapt to climate change.
Here in Somalia, we partner with the Federal Government and Federal Member States on a wide range of development issues, including governance, rule of law, environment, livelihoods, disaster reduction, peacebuilding, economic recovery and women's empowerment.
