Accelerating for the SDGs
Supported by its newly established Accelerator Lab , UNDP and stakeholders will explore simultaneous entry points for change in the dynamics between market players and in the behaviors of social actors. UNDP will continue developing the capacities, partnerships and incentives required to enroll markets and institutions to initiate and sustain change. UNDP works with specialized national counterparts to engage target groups (women/girls, youth and persons with disabilities); improve skills; reduce barriers to employment and participation; and establish platforms for dialogue to expand opportunities.
UNDP works to balance the needs of the private sector, MSMEs and market actors, bringing about the new sustainable economy, and the interests of the public sector to develop the policies and tools required not only to facilitate digital and environmentally-friendly transitions, but also to provide more data-driven, targeted and effective social protection mechanisms to ensure the transition is just and inclusive, particularly for women, youth, and persons with disabilities. Further, UNDP will support the Government of Egypt in its efforts to leave no one behind and improve governance, accountability and participation.
