UNDP is the leading United Nations organization fighting to end the injustice of poverty, inequality, and climate change. Working with our broad network of experts and partners in 170 countries, we help nations to build integrated, lasting solutions for people and the planet.

In Pakistan, UNDP is working with the Government of Pakistan, civil society, national partners, and the people of Pakistan to help find solutions to persistent development challenges. Its work derives from and contributes to four outcome areas of the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework ) which include: governance; sustainable, inclusive and green economic transformation; climate change resilience and environment; and gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Supported by enablers, UNDP uses a portfolio approach in Pakistan, triangulating structural transformation, leaving no one behind, and building resilience.

UNDP's country programme document for Pakistan envisions that all Pakistani people are educated and healthy, their well-being promoted and protected through economic opportunities, jobs and a climate-resilient future in a country where women and girls are safe and able to exercise their rights and to put their trust in and benefit from improved governance.

Through its Resilience, Environment and Climate Change Unit (RECCU), UNDP leads projects across the country that respond to the growing threat of climate change, mainstream environmental concerns into national development planning processes, and expand access to environmental and energy services for local communities. In particular, UNDP has sought to ensure that the poor have stronger capacities to manage, adapt, and monitor climate change.

Climate change is not only an environmental issue but also one of the most current pressing development challenges. Its impacts are escalating and disproportionately affecting the poorest and most vulnerable populations the most.

The 2022 floods in Pakistan have affected 33 million people, resulted in the loss of more than 1,700 lives, displaced around 9 million men, women, and children, and inundated almost one-third of productive agricultural land in Pakistan. These downstream challenges are compounded with institutional issues whereby the Government of Pakistan requires support for developing overarching frameworks to structure its flood response activities and technical expertise to set up and develop bankable projects, establish standardized mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation, and enhance strategic communications for public outreach.

UNDP Has Responded To The Challenge By Developing And Launching a Flagship Flood Recovery Programme (FRP) To Support The Government Of Pakistan’s Flood Recovery And Rehabilitation Efforts. The Programme Has Four Key Objectives Dealing With The Following Thematic Areas

• Restoration of housing and access to/revival of essential community services.
• Restoration of livelihoods and income-generating capacities.
• Enhanced governance and service delivery.
• Strengthened capacities for Disaster Risk Management.
