Our Partner

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the United Nations' global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to build a better life. We are on the ground in 166 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners.  Its current priority is to help all countries achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015.

The UNDP Malaysian Country Office is a valued, trusted and reliable adviser to, and development partner with, the Malaysian Government and other stakeholders in national development. As Malaysia builds its own development solutions, UNDP provides ideas for strategic development projects and capacity building in support of continued efforts to eradicate pockets of extreme poverty, improve gender equality, reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS, promote and protect human rights and enhance environmental management. UNDP also supports Malaysia's aspirations to achieve development gains in poorer countries through several South-South initiatives.

As the private sector is the most important creator of employment, income and wealth, UNDP Malaysia also actively engages with the private sector in supporting national development. Its latest private sector partnership initiative is the “Honda Dreams Fund” which aims to help youths from poor households realise their “dreams” through education.
