Equitable Access to Essential Services
UNDP works to improve access to health-care and life-saving medicines, with a focus on reaching the most vulnerable. We also support systems for clean energy, water and food production to improve overall community health, safety and resilience.
Working with the National Medical Supplies Fund, we solarise and refurbish Primary Health Care facilities, support mobile health services for vulnerable and isolated groups, and train health personnel. We procure life-saving drugs for HIV and TB patients and improve the early diagnosis and treatment of major diseases through the provision of health infrastructure and new technology, such as MRIs and portable X-ray machines.
To boost general health and nutrition – building resilience before people fall ill – we support farmers with improved agricultural inputs, provide training on advanced agricultural techniques and set up solar powered water sources maintained by local community governance structures.
Main achievements in 2025:
1.2m people received life‑saving HIV, TB, and primary healthcare services.
443,000 people reached through mobile clinics, bringing care directly to vulnerable communities.
83,000 people received critical insulin support, ensuring better diabetes management and survival.
3.6m people gained access to solar power, enabling economic growth, improved health services and safer communities.
819,000 people now benefit from safe, solar-powered water systems, ensuring clean and sustainable water access while reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
