The UNDP Strategic Plan 2024-2027 outlines how the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will contribute to sustainable development across various pillars over the next four years.
UNDP's work in the 2024-2027 cycle will support four pillars defined by the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF). These pillars are designed to address critical development challenges and promote sustainable growth:
- (a) Economic transformation for sustainable development: This pillar focuses on creating opportunities for inclusive and sustainable economic growth, promoting diversification, and fostering innovation.
- (b) Social inclusion for sustainable development: This encompasses efforts to reduce inequalities, promote social justice, and ensure that all people, including marginalized groups, have access to essential services and opportunities.
- (c) Environment and climate change for sustainable development: This pillar aims to address environmental degradation, mitigate the impacts of climate change, and promote sustainable resource management.
- (d) Governance and institutional capacities for sustainable development: This focuses on strengthening governance structures, promoting the rule of law, enhancing transparency and accountability, and building the capacity of institutions to effectively deliver services and implement sustainable development policies.
In essence, the UNDP Strategic Plan 2024-2027 serves as a roadmap for UNDP's efforts to support countries in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by focusing on economic transformation, social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and good governance.
