What we do
UNDP is the UN's global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resoures to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in some 170 countries and territories, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners. The UNDP Seoul Policy Centre (USPC) was established in 2011, with the objective of brokering new partnerships between Korea and the developing world through UNDP networks. As one of six UNDP Global Policy Centres, USPC is tasked with representing UNDP in Korea, working with Korea on international issues, and sharing Korea's development experience with other countries.
