UNDP works in nearly 170 countries and territories. Anchored in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and committed to the principles of universality, equality and leaving no-one behind, UNDP’s priorities are set in its Strategic Plan (2022 - 2025), aiming to help countries achieve sustainable development by eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, accelerating structural transformations for sustainable development and building resilience to crises and shocks. The Strategic Plan sets out a vision for the evolution of UNDP over the next four years, responding to a changing development landscape and the evolving needs of our partners.
The RBLAC includes 26 offices, covering 42 countries and territories, and also one Regional Service Centre. Across the region, UNDP helps countries build and share their own solutions to urgent development challenges, supporting coalitions for change and connecting individuals and institutions so they can share knowledge, experience and resources. As countries develop local capacity, they draw on the staff of UNDP and our wide range of regional and global partners. The regional priorities include democratic governance, sustainable development, reducing inequalities, disaster and conflict risk reduction and the advancement of women, among others.
The Director is the leader of UNDP in the region as well as a member of UNDP’s corporate leadership and, as such, serves as a role model for corporate values, behaviours and substantive skills.
