![]() Inequalities are growing, and the traditional social contract is no longer working for many. ![]() Compounded by a climate emergency, political polarization and challenged multilateralism, continued conflicts and forced displacement, the number of people living in poverty rose in 2020 for the first time since 1998 by an estimated 119-124 million. The challenge of reaching Agenda 2030 was already significant, even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Strategic context Advancing the future of development With your support and collaboration, together UNDP can work with countries to expand people’s choices for a fairer, sustainable future, to build the world envisioned by Agenda 2030 with planet and people in balance. I invite you to read the Plan itself and learn more. I am immensely grateful to them, and to all our UNDP teams, whose contributions have helped produce a Plan that truly reflects the diversity of all the countries, communities and people whom UNDP serves. The Plan is the result of extensive collaboration with our many partners. All this to scale and accelerate progress towards green, inclusive transitions that empower every last person through greater opportunity and resilience. How we will foster innovation and creativity to help change systems and tackle the hardest challenges standing between us and the SDGs. The Plan describes how the combination of our deep local experience and our rich global network, tapping into countries’ knowledge and shared experience, delivers value to our partners. It sets out practical steps towards becoming an even more agile and anticipatory organisation, investing further in our people, business model and operational excellence. It explains how UNDP will develop our six signature solutions – powered by digitalisation, innovation and development financing – for greater impact. It envisions bold goals, making a difference to millions of lives, including through tackling multidimensional poverty, energy access, elections participation and development financing. The Strategic Plan is grounded in UNDP’s continued commitment to eradicating poverty, accompanying countries in their pathways towards the SDGs and working towards the Paris Agreement. Supporting governments and communities to rebound from COVID-19 and build forward better. Applying integrated approaches aimed at transformative change. Collaborating across the revitalized UN system and beyond for stronger collective results. This new Strategic Plan 2022-2025 describes how UNDP intends to work together with our partners to deliver what’s required of us in these extraordinary times. Up to one billion people could be living in extreme poverty by 2030 unless we seize this opportunity for a decisive push towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).īut this is also a moment of choice: an opportunity to learn from our experience, to do things differently, to aspire to greater shared goals. A planetary emergency and the pandemic have depleted the world’s natural resources and widened poverty and inequality. This is a critical moment for the world, and for development.
