UNDP Nepal and the UN

UNDP Nepal's programme and priorities are set out by the Country Programme Document, in collaboration with the Government of Nepal. 

UNDP, as part of the UN family, works jointly with several agencies to tackle issues in Nepal that span different agency mandates. UNDP works with FAO, ILO, IOM, UNCDF, UNEP, UNFPA, UNHabitat, UNHCR, UNICEF, UNV and UNWomen. Joint programmes include gender equality and women’s rights, human rights, environmental sustainability, and more.

UNDP’s work is coordinated with 15 other UN agencies in Nepal through the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF 2019-2022). In preparation of a new UN country framework, and UNDP’s new country programme, a thorough review was conducted in 2017 to assess the impact of the past plan and to inform the direction of the new five-year plan that began in 2018.
