Our focus

Egypt and UNDP in action

Integrated development solutions driven by country priorities and UNDP’s new Country Programme Document (CPD).

UNDP’s Strategic Plan 2022-2025 introduces the evolution of #NextGenUNDP into #FutureSmartUNDP. More than a mantra, it is our new benchmark for success in the future of development. Building on UNDP’s 50 years of expertise across 170 countries, this new approach allows us to focus and prioritize where country demands are greatest. By working together in this way, we aim to expand people’s choices for a fairer, sustainable future, with people and planet in balance.

Our new Country Programme Document (2023-2027) continues to offer UNDP as a reliable, efficient provider of development services with our central value proposition lying in the areas of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) integration and financing; institutional and policy development support; MSME sector development; climate change, biodiversity and local development; and addressing governance and social issues that disproportionately affect women or persons in vulnerable situations. Gender equality and the empowerment of women are mainstreamed across all our areas of work.
