Poverty Reduction and the Millennium Development Goals

UNDP supports the Government of Sri Lanka's efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. One key priority is to empower and strengthen institutions to plan and implement progress towards the MDGs both at the national and local levels. This includes the reduction of income inequalities and regional disparities in the country.

Energy, Environment and Disaster Risk Reduction

UNDP helps communities use natural resources and renewable energy in a sustainable way. At the same time, it helps reduce disaster risks while supporting communities to adapt to climate change impacts.

Governance

UNDP supports national institutions in their efforts to be responsible to the needs of ordinary citizens. UNDP does so by strengthening oversight mechanisms, encouraging participation in decision-making, promoting accountability and transparency in public-service delivery, and providing equal access to justice.

Peace and Recovery

UNDP helps national and local counterparts in their efforts to bring a sense of normal life to conflict-affected communities. UNDP cooperates closely with humanitarian agencies to ensure a smooth transition from the humanitarian to the early recovery phase and ultimately to long-term development. UNDP also works to strengthen the capacities of district governments.
