UNDP Afghanistan Mission Statement:

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 planet. UNDP has been working in Afghanistan for more than 50 years on climate change and resilience, gender, governance, health, livelihood, and rule of law. Under the broader framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in close coordination with other UN agencies, UNDP is supporting Afghan people’s aspiration for peace, prosperity, and sustainability. UNDP is currently implementing its flagship crisis response programme, ABADEI (Area Based Approach to Development Emergency Initiatives), as part of the ongoing UN-led response to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe and the breakdown of Afghanistan’s economy following the August 2021 shift in power.

As part of the UN’s ongoing crisis response to prevent humanitarian catastrophe and economic collapse following the August 2021 shift in power, UNDP is implementing its flagship programme, ABADEI (Area-Based Approach to Development Emergency Initiatives). The ABADEI Strategy applies an area-based integrated approach that safeguards livelihoods, strengthens community resilience, and complements short-term humanitarian assistance with recovery-oriented interventions. It focuses on poverty reduction, climate resilience, social cohesion, and rehabilitation of small-scale infrastructure critical for basic human needs.
