Description

About

UNDP’s Regional Bureau for Africa (RBA) supports Africa’s people, its governments and institutions as they seek to consolidate recent gains and effectively address the challenges that remain. These include persistent inequalities, weak governance institutions, climate change, rapid population growth, stalled industrialization and rising violence.

UNDP’S Renewed Strategic Offer in Africa

Guided by the core principle that the Africa region is not homogenous, the Strategic Offer will tailor UNDP’s programmes and operations to context-specific circumstances. The specificities arise from varying levels of development (low vs middle income countries); geographical diadvantages and advantages (Small Island Development States vs larger Landlocked Developing Countries); projected impact of climate change (resilient vs vulnerable); and political stability (stable vs fragile states).

UNDP’s Renewed Strategic Offer in Africa  aims to strengthen UNDP’s position as Africa’s premier ENABLER and INTEGRATOR for the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and the African Union’s Agenda 2063.
