Background

UNDP works in more than 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty, and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results.

UNDP has worked in India since 1951 in almost all areas of human development, from democratic governance to poverty eradication, to sustainable energy and environmental management. UNDP’s programmes are aligned with national priorities and are reviewed and adjusted annually.

UNDP is increasingly using films to illustrate our projects’ impacts on the ground and in people’s lives. The expansion of online video websites like YouTube and Vimeo has given UNDP a perfect opportunity to reach a growing new audience and communicate about the organization's success stories and issues. These films can also draw attention to UNDP’s work and to countries and development issues that might otherwise be overlooked in international news. UNDP also provides support to government and civil society partners in documenting initiatives aimed at improving people’s lives.
