Our Focus
At UNDP Guyana, our mission is driven by a deep commitment to shaping a sustainable, inclusive, and green future for all. Since 1966, we have stood alongside the Government of Guyana and its people, working together to turn aspirations into tangible progress. With compassion and vision, we help build the national capacities in the pursuit of national goals and objectives, as outlined in its national development plans and strategies needed to foster unity, social cohesion, and long-term prosperity in this beautiful nation.
Guided by the Country Programme Document (CPD 2022-2026) and the United Nations Multi-Country Sustainable Development Framework (UN MSDF 2022-2026), our work is rooted in the principles of equity, resilience, and environmental stewardship. The challenges we face today are multi-faceted—yet within these challenges lie powerful opportunities for transformation. By responding to the diverse needs of Guyana, we focus on four key areas: Economic resilience and shared prosperity, Equality and well-being, Climate resilience and natural resource management, and ensuring peace, justice, and the rule of law.
In collaboration with the Government and local communities, we continue to support Guyana’s development priorities in particular the objectives of the Green State Development Strategy (GSDS), prioritizing economic growth and climate action. Together, we are turning Guyana’s vision of a green, thriving nation into reality.
At the heart of our work is the understanding that sustainable development is not one-size-fits-all. Every community, every challenge, and every opportunity is unique. That’s why we approach each project with empathy, agility, and a deep respect for the people and culture of Guyana. Through innovation, collaboration, and shared commitment, we are building lasting solutions that uplift all citizens, promote social equity, and protect the natural environment for future generations.
Join us as we continue to invest in a sustainable, green Guyana—one where every individual has the opportunity to thrive, and where the planet’s future is safeguarded for all.
