UNDP has a well-established role in Montenegro contributing to improvements in institutional capacity, transparency, efficiency and accountability. This is especially true in implementing gender-responsive public administration, public finance management and support for e-governance.

To strengthen institutional abilities to address complexities, recover from shocks and gain the public’s trust, UNDP will support the transformation of institutions based on adaptable, effective and open governance principles at national and local levels and in the justice sector. This will be done through:

• investments in strengthening public sector capabilities;
• support for inclusive and gender-responsive advances in digital governance;
• active involvement of the public, men and women alike, in identifying and resolving challenges; and
• innovation in the public sector through application of digital and financial technologies.
