Helping the people of Serbia achieve a better life

Welcome to UNDP in Serbia

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN’s global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 166 countries, and in Serbia since 1952, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As countries develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners. 

UNDP continues to support Serbia in its own efforts to achieve the highest level of human prosperity and dignity for all its citizens irrespective of their gender, ethnicity or creed. UNDP promotes sustainable human development, human security and equal possibilities for all, while providing every available support to Serbia in its progress toward joining the European Union. 

Our initiatives are administered through programme clusters, designed to be mutually supportive and regionally linked: Capacity Development for Accountable Governance Cluster, consisting of specific programmes for capacity development in the executive, legislative and judiciary branches; Sustainable and Local Development Cluster, supporting efforts to level regional development disparities and strengthening the interdependent and mutually reinforcing pillars of sustainable development – economic and social development coupled with environmental protection; and Inclusive Development Cluster, consisting of programmes focused on achieving equitable growth and supporting vulnerable groups.

UNDP is also uniquely placed to advise the government on policies and institutions to meet the country's development challenges, to work with partners to mobilize talent and resources, and to play a leading advocacy role supported by UNDP's trademark Human Development Reports as well as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) framework.
