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.
UNDP positions itself as a development partner that brings global knowledge, through a multi-sectoral approach – the key comparative advantage of UNDP – and concentrates its work on 3 programmatic fields: i) Inclusive and Sustainable Growth, ii) Inclusive and Democratic Governance, iii) Climate Change and Environment.
CCE Portfolio focuses on three programmatic areas that complement each other: 1-Natural Resource Management contributing to sustainable environment management and conservation of natural resources in production landscapes, within the general framework of the ecosystems approach; 2- Climate Change and Disaster Resilience (including chemicals and waste) strengthening institutional capacities for analysis and risk management for resilience with a specific emphasis on climate change, and 3- Cooperation with relevant stakeholders to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy.
The Support to Earthquake-Affected Provinces for Ecosystem Restoration, Nature-Based Solutions, Alternative Livelihoods and Disaster Awareness Raising project’s objective is to rehabilitate/restore ecosystems and livelihoods through the use and promotion of nature-based solutions in the earthquake-affected provinces; and to increase the public’s awareness of fault lines, earthquake-prone areas and sensitive ecosystems to promote disaster risk reduction, preparedness and recovery.
