Background and powers of the committee
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) was established in 1965 by the General Assembly. To simplify activities that are performed separately or jointly the United Nations Expanded Programme of Technical Assistance and the United Nations Special Fund merged to increase their effectiveness and as a result, UNDP was created. The main objective of the UNDP is advocating for change and giving countries access to the knowledge, experience and resources they need to help people build better futures. Also, UNDP works in 170 countries and territories. Furthermore, UNDP’s work focuses on three main areas, sustainable development, democratic governance as well as peacebuilding, climate and disaster resilience.
