Mission and objectives
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.
Context
In 2015, world leaders agreed to the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development, a global plan to transform the world while leaving no one behind. Member States were expected to integrate SDGs in their Development Plans, Budgets and Statistics. Some Member States have integrated SDGs in a granular manner for their Development Plans and Budgets. The granularity enables aggregation at the level of the 169 targets, 17 goals and 5 Pillars and across countries – which is the real value of integrating SDGs. The same granularity can be applied to the Africa Union Agenda 2063 and will indeed be applied in this assignment.
