UNDP and Foundations

UNDP is building partnerships with foundations in all regions of the world. These partnerships combine resources, knowledge, and networks to increase the influence and impact in helping countries find solutions to their development challenges.

UNDP works in partnership with foundations to support new and ongoing initiatives. Partnerships with the United Nations Foundation, Open Society Institute, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Ford Foundation, continue to contribute to a number of important activities in all regions. In our outreach activities, UNDP has been successful in bringing on board such partners as the Clinton Foundation, Eurasia Foundation, Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the Zayed Foundation. In addition, UNDP is working together with locally-based foundations such as the Human Development Foundation (Beijing, China) and the Peace and Development Foundation (Hong Kong, China), Fundacion Arturo Lopez (Chile), Damian Foundation (Panama), Partners for Local Development Foundation (Moldova), and the League of Corporate Foundations (Philippines), Africa Capacity Building Foundation (Togo), among others.
