Who to Contact

If you are interested in learning more about UNDP’s private sector activities or looking for opportunities to partner with UNDP you can contact us at the Country Offices, the Regional Bureaus, the Regional Centres or the Private Sector Division in UNDP’s headquarters.

The Private Sector Division in UNDP Headquarters in New York is responsible for setting UNDP’s strategic direction on policies that relate to private sector development, as well as guidelines and rules under which UNDP can engage with private sector. It places special emphasis on enabling UNDP Country Offices to exchange knowledge about good practices and experiences. The Private Sector Division also manages special global level initiatives and programmes including BCtA (secretariat@bcta-initiative.org) and GIM (gim@undp.org).

Country Offices carry out most of the private sector development activities on the ground. In addition to working closely with host governments and representatives of business and civil society, the Country Offices house most of UNDP human and financial resources. They are vast repositories of development knowledge, expertise and networks. Many Country Offices have dedicated officers responsible for outreach and partnering with the private sector.

Regional Bureaus and Regional Centres support Country Office activities in five geographically defined regions (see below). They support Country Offices in policy advice in UNDP practice areas, manage regional programmes (conducted in at least three countries) and collect and spread good practice and information throughout the region.
