Despite all the challenges created by the unprecedented global COVID-19 pandemic, with the generous support of our longstanding partners, UNDP and the Government of Nepal were able to join hands to help some of the hardest-hit people cope with the crisis. From creating jobs and livelihoods opportunities for the most vulnerable and providing crucial health supplies to local and provincial governments to providing free legal aid and counselling support for those who are left behind, UNDP was able to bring some concrete and positive changes in the lives of people even during the challenging times.

What we do
UNDP is the UN's global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in some 170 countries and territories, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners. UNDP has been supporting the Nepalese people in their struggle against poverty since it opened an in-country office in 1963.
