UNDP Annual Report 2011

July 20, 2012

In 2011, UNDP made major contributions to build national capacities, improve national policies and strengthen governance directly benefitting needy communities across Nepal. UNDP has demonstrated successful results through its projects and programmes, such as our energy and micro-enterprise programmes which have been adopted as policy or models by the Government and have attracted support from other development partners and UN agencies.

This UNDP Nepal Annual Report 2011 highlights some of the organisation’s significant results across five Programme areas: Peace building, Recovery and Reintegration; Transitional Democratic Governance; Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Livelihoods; Energy, Environment and Disaster Management; and HIV/AIDS. UNDP’s focus through these five areas is to provide support to empower the poor and marginalized and to contribute to policy making processes.
