Globally, UNDP plays a dual role, as development partner and as manager of the United Nations Resident Coordinator system, pursuant to its mandate from the United Nations General Assembly.
UNDP as Manager of the United Nations Resident Coordinator System
The Resident Coordinator system encompasses all organizations of the United Nations dealing with operational activities for development. It aims to bring together the different United Nations agencies to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operational activities at the country level. Resident Coordinators, who are managed through UNDP, lead United Nations Country Teams (UNCTs) in more than 160 countries and are the designated representatives of the United Nations Secretary-General for development. Working closely with national governments, Resident Coordinators and UNCTs advocate the interests and mandates of the United Nations drawing on the support and guidance of the entire United Nations family.
UNDP as Development Partner
UNDP as a development partner is a member of the UNCT in Afghanistan among the other resident and non-resident United Nations agencies, funds and programmes active in the country. All UNDP activities are undertaken in close collaboration with the Government of Afghanistan, sister UN agencies and other development stakeholders. Partnerships with UNAMA, the US, the EC, Japan, CIDA, UK, Netherlands, Italy, Germany, and Norway have been critical to achieve results.
