Development challenges in Asia and the Pacific are as diverse and complex as the region itself. It has some of the youngest democracies and some of the world’s most dynamic economies, but it is also home to more than half the world’s poor. It is the most disaster-prone region in the world, with small island developing states in the Pacific bearing the brunt of climate change. Meanwhile, concerns about environmental degradation are increasingly relevant for some of the fastest growing economies in the region. To respond to these challenges, UNDP concentrates its efforts on building the region’s capacity to promote inclusive, pro-poor growth, effective governance, and sustainable and resilient development. We help our partners in identifying relevant solutions to today’s complex, trans-boundary development challenges. We support them to design and implement large scale development initiatives that deliver lasting social, economic and environmental improvements in countries across the region. UNDP provides support to governments to integrate the Sustainable Development Goals into their national development plans and policies. This work is already underway, as we support many countries in accelerating progress already achieved under the Millennium Development Goals.

Timor-Leste’s justice journey has been both inspiring and instructive. From the early days of independence, when the country had no judges, prosecutors, or public defenders, to its current network of courts, including four district courts and a Court of Appeal, the nation has come a long way. UNDP Timor-Leste's Bruno Lencastre emphasizes a people-centered approach to justice sector reform. Full blog in the comment below ??
Hundreds of women in Papua New Guinea are falsely accused of sorcery on a yearly basis. As a result many of them suffer violence at the hands of members of their community. UNDP has been working with various organizations to help provide shelter to survivors and to advocate against the practice. This is the story of Annabelle (name changed) who survived violent retribution after she was accused of sorcery following the death of a prominent member of her community.

6 days to #COP16Riyadh. Bringing together environmental experts from around the world to tackle land degradation and strengthen drought resilience, the Land COP is essential #ForPeopleForPlanet and a healthier future for all. We have the power to bring land back to life. We can turn degradation into restoration. We can go from devastating droughts and floods to robust economies and resilient communities. And we can ensure that those who depend on land the most have a say in how decisions are made. For this, we need to scale up ambition and investment. We need to restore 1.5 billion hectares of degraded lands by 2030. Learn more about how we work to protect and restore land: https://lnkd.in/eS_Mx-8M
