Historique

I. Background

UNDP Indonesia's mission is to be an agent for change in the human and social development of Indonesia. We aim to be a bridge between Indonesia and all donors, as well as a trusted partner to all development stakeholders. We work in four key areas of development: governance reforms, pro-poor policy reforms, conflict prevention and recovery, and environmental management, with the overarching aim of reducing poverty in Indonesia and supporting the Millennium Development Goals. In addition to these four areas, UNDP Indonesia is also committed to the fight against HIV/AIDS, the promotion of gender equality and the use of information and technology for development.
