Our Partners in the Philippines

The meaningful progress UNDP is driving in the Philippines is made possible through the strong support of our development partners. Their resources, expertise, and commitment enable us to expand community resilience, advance climate action, strengthen governance, and create more inclusive opportunities for Filipinos. Every achievement—from restoring livelihoods to accelerating digital transformation and supporting local institutions—reflects a shared vision and the trust placed in UNDP. We are grateful for these partnerships, which continue to power our ability to deliver impact where it matters most.
