About UNDP in Tanzania

UNDP is the UN's global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help build a better life. UNDP started its operations in Tanzania after signing of Standard Basic Assistance Agreement (SBAA) with the Government in 30th May 1978.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) - 2022-2027 outlines a coherent plan of action and enables a coordinated UN response to contribute more efficiently and effectively to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the national development goals of the third National Five-Year Development Plan (FYDP III) and the 2021-2026 Zanzibar Development Plan (ZADEP).

The framework also aims to contribute towards achieving Tanzania's regional commitments and aspirations, including the East Africa Community Vision 2050 and the Africa Agenda 2063. 

Country Programme Document (CPD) 2022-2027 has also taken into consideration global development agendas such as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that were adopted in September of 2015. In this CPD, UNDP will contribute to three UNSCDF outcomes where it has comparative advantage and has made considerable investments. The outcomes are: i) Prosperity ii) and Planet iii) Enabling Environment. UNDP will address the People outcome of the UNSDCF by integrating relevant aspects within the prosperity outcome. UNDP will continue to invest in its broad partnership networks including the UN family to implement the CPD.

UNDP in Tanzania works with the Government of Tanzania and diverse partners to deliver results across seven portfolios (Blue Economy, SDG Financing and Investments, Sustainable Public Procurement, Youth Catalyst, Energy, Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management, Enabling Environment and Nature and Ecosystem), all aligned with national priorities and global development goals.
