UNDP Georgia (United Nations Development Programme Georgia)

Georgia became the 179th member of the United Nations in July 1992, thereby accepting the values and principles of the organization. The Office of the United Nations in Georgia was established in 1993. Since then, the country has been home to UN agencies, funds, and programmes that work as a team to respond to national development needs and improve the economic and social conditions of people in Georgia.

The resident UN agencies form the UN Country Team (UNCT), which is led by the UN Resident Coordinator who also serves as the Resident Representative for UN Development Programme (UNDP).

United Nations Development Programme is the UN’s global development network to help people meet their development needs and build a better life. We are on the ground in 166 countries, working as a trusted partner with governments, civil society and the private sector to help them build their own solutions to global and national development challenges.

Our UN identity ensures our neutrality and our respect for each country’s control over the future. Our commitment to development makes us advocates of change, and our wide, decentralized presence keeps UNDP close to development issues, resources and thinking. Countries draw on the knowledge not just of the people of UNDP but also of our broad circle of partners, together encompassing a world of development experience.

UNDP established its presence in Georgia in 1993. We work to promote national development and set our priorities in agreement with the Georgian Government.

Closely cooperating with national institutions, civil society and the private sector, UNDP assists Georgia in four major areas:
- Democratic Governance,
- Economic Development,
- Environment and Energy, and
- Crisis Prevention and Recovery.

In all its activities, UNDP seeks to promote the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.
