A BEDROCK OF SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMME

ACTIVITIES

WHAT DEFINES UNDP? A global network, open to all; committed to the poorest and those in cri-sis; a convening force to anchor the integrated, multi-stakeholder approach inherent in the revital-ised UN Development System. Core resources pay for all this.

Core resources enable UNDP’s presence in over 170 countries and territories: present and actively engag-ing with governments, built on trusted partnerships to promote the values of the UN and the principle of leaving no one behind.

FOCUSING ON THE POOREST

83% of programmable core is spent in Low Income Countries

as well as Least Developed Countries (2019), some of

whom have few alternative sources of support.

RESPONDING TO CRISIS Core resources are instrumental in UNDP’s

COVID-19 integrated response, enabling operational presence and rapid allocation of

funds to Country Offices on the front lines of combating the spread of the virus in

low-income countries

MULTIPLYING IMPACTseed funding can leverage substantial

non-core resources and catalyse innovation and partnerships.

INTERAGENCY COLLABORATION

TO REACH THE SDGS reaching beyond UNDP to

other partners’ comparative strengths, developing the

cross-cutting, holistic develop-ment solutions that the 2030

Agenda requires.

PROVIDING SHARED ASSETS

managing the UN Capital Development Fund, the

UN Volunteers, a Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office and

the UN Office for South-South Cooperation.

MOBILISING FINANCING FOR THE SDGS

tackling frontier development issues and with new services and products to unlock some of the trillion dollars needed to reach the SDGs by 2030.

CORE RESOURCES SUSTAIN OUR MULTI-LATERAL, UNIVERSAL CHARACTER, available to all eligible countries who request our support, with our own members deciding our strategic direction. With our sights on Agenda 2030, we de-pend on sufficient and predictable core resources to help convene our UNDS partners and work together with our UNDS partners to maximise our collective impact in results on the ground - as the Secretary General’s Funding Compact, with its goal of 30% of development resources as core funding, recognizes.
