The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN’s development agency which works on the ground in 166 countries to support national partners to address development challenges and achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
As a Cosponsor of UNAIDS and under the UNAIDS division of labour, UNDP leads the implementation of HIV programmes that address development planning, governance, human rights, gender and sexual diversity.
UNDP works with countries to understand and respond to the development dimensions of HIV and health, complementing the work of other UN partners. It helps countries put HIV at the centre of national development and poverty reduction strategies; build national capacity to mobilize all levels of government and civil society for a coordinated and effective response to the epidemic; and protect the rights of people living with AIDS, women, and vulnerable populations.
