UNDP Fiji Multi-Country Office Annual Report 2008

UNDP in the Pacific

UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and exclusion, and build resilience so countries can sustain progress. As the UN's development agency, UNDP plays a critical role in helping countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

Our team

The UNDP Pacific Office in Fiji is responsible for the merged functions for UNDP country programming in ten countries, which was covered by the Fiji-based Multi-Country Office, and regional programming and provision of technical advisory services by the Pacific Centre to 15 countries, including those covered by the Samoa based Multi-Country office and the Papua New Guinea Country Office.

Legal framework

The UNDP Pacific Office in Fiji operates within the following legal, programmatic and regulatory frameworks in the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu, with regional support to Cook Islands, Niue, Papua New Guinea, Samoa and Tokelau.

Funding

In order to achieve its mandate, UNDP relies entirely on voluntary contributions from UN Member States, multilateral organisations, private sector and other sources, in the form of unrestricted regular resources (core), and contributions earmarked for a specific theme, programme or project.

Partnerships

Partnership is at the heart of UNDP's work offering a nearly universal presence. UNDP's substantial expertise, both intellectual acumen and practical experience, cuts across diverse development issues and settings. These valuable assets combined with our long legacy of trust have made us a global partner of choice.

UN Volunteers

UNV contributes to peace and development by advocating for recognition of volunteers, working with partners to integrate volunteerism into development programming, and mobilizing an increasing number and diversity of volunteers, including experienced UN Volunteers, throughout the world.

Sustainable Development Goals

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries in a global partnership.

Focus areas

Our 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.

Gender

Empowering women and making gender equality a reality is a core commitment of UNDP. In every country across the Pacific, pervasive gender inequality remains a barrier to progress, justice and social stability. It also hinders the achievement of development goals. We recognize that women’s empowerment and gender equality are cross-cutting issues that lie at the heart of human development.

News centre

Our News centre is a one-stop shop for multimedia press coverage and in-depth information on development-related issues. We provide news announcements, press releases and statements by UNDP leadership.

Today's development challenges are complex and each context is different. That's why we tailor our work to fit the needs of the countries and communities we serve. UNDP's Strategic Plan has been designed to be responsive to the wide diversity of the countries we serve.
