Our mission

UNDP is the UN's global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources 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.

Located in the heart of Europe, the UNDP Office in Brussels supports and promotes the partnership with the European Union, one of our major partners in nearly 140 countries worldwide in areas such as crisis and fragility, governance, and climate.
