Our strategic alliances and partnerships
At the Global Policy Dialogue in Bangkok, UNDP and the Korean National Police Agency recommitted to global action to stop technology-facilitated gender-based violence.
The Rule of Law, Security and Human Rights team maintains a wide range of strategic alliances and partnerships in support of a development approach to the promotion and protection of the rule of law and human rights.
Through the Global Programme, the team leads and participates in UN system-wide partnerships to ensure greater coherence, coordination and complementarity of work in support of the One-UN approach and the humanitarian-development-peace nexus or Triple Nexus.
The team brings its convening power and thought leadership to its collaborations with a range of UN and non-UN actors to advocate for stronger political commitments to the achievement of strengthened rule of law, justice, security and human rights.
In Phase IV, the Global Programme continues to strengthen its existing partnerships and build new synergistic partnerships and coalitions at all levels to advance its programmatic goals and work in emerging areas.
