Fast Facts - Democratic Governance

June 10, 2014

More countries than ever before are working to foster democratic governance. Their challenge is to develop institutions and processes that are more responsive to the needs of ordinary citizens, including the poor, and that promote development. UNDP leads the efforts on democratic governance, serving 177 countries and territories worldwide. It helps countries strengthen electoral and legislative systems, improve access to justice and public administration and develop a greater capacity to deliver basic services to those most in need.

UNDP’s Democratic Governance Programme in Pakistan works to improve governance at the federal, provincial and district levels by supporting devolution and decentralization objectives. Our work focuses on parliamentary development, political and fiscal devolution to the local governments and enhances the capacity of the state institutions to make them more transparent, accountable, and capable. We are supporting this agenda by fostering inclusive participation and promoting responsive democratic institutions.
