What We Do

United Nations Development Programme is the United Nations’ lead agency on international development. UNDP works in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty while protecting the planet. We help countries develop strong policies, skills, partnerships, and institutions so they can sustain their progress. UNDP’s office in Trinidad and Tobago (UNDP TTMCO) is a multi-country office, with responsibilities for Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten as well as Trinidad & Tobago. We work with a wide variety of national partners across all levels of society, supporting countries and communities as they work to eradicate poverty, implement the Paris Agreement on climate change, and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. We advocate for transformative change, connecting the countries that we represent through the multi-country office to the resources they need to drive growth, and socio-economic development and create the changes that can help improve the quality of life for everyone. Through our Multi-Country Office, we focus on policy and knowledge advisory services that facilitate managing climate change, environmental conservation and protection, sustainable energy management, disaster prevention and management, inclusive growth and promoting the rule of law and good governance.
