Background

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the leading United Nations organization fighting to end the injustice of poverty, inequality, and climate change. Working with our broad network of experts and partners in 170 countries and territories, we help nations build integrated, lasting solutions for people and the planet. We help countries develop strong policies, skills, partnerships and institutions so they can sustain their progress.

In Cambodia, under its current Country Programme (2019-2023), the UNDP Cambodia programme offers to focus on development results across three key inter-dependent pillars (prosperity, planet and peace), including inclusive and sustainable growth, environmental protection, climate change adaptation and mitigation, and the opportunities for all to contribute to and benefit from Cambodia’s transformation. Pivotal to our approach is our partnership with the Royal Government of Cambodia, civil society groups, community organizations, development partners, and the private sector on issues related to Cambodia’s Sustainable Development Goals (CSDGs).
