Denmark’s support will help strengthen UNDP's oversight and accountability functions to deliver programmes effectively, efficiently, and in line with the highest standards of transparency and accountability.

UNDP is committed to strengthening its partnership with Denmark in areas of shared interests such as poverty reduction, climate action, and human security.
