grant Background

About the Funding Agency

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), as it is known in English, operates in about 170 countries and territories with the goal of achieving the eradication of poverty and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion. The UNDP also helps countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results.

UNDP focuses on helping countries build and share solutions in three main areas: sustainable development, democratic governance and peacebuilding, and climate and natural disaster resilience. 

The annual Human Development Report, commissioned by the  UNDP, focuses the global debate on key development issues, providing new measurement tools, innovative analysis and often controversial policy proposals. The global Report's analytical framework and inclusive approach carry over into regional, national and local Human Development Reports, also supported by the UNDP.

Botswana

Botswana historically leveraged diamond revenues to build strong institutions, social services and basic infrastructure, contributing to poverty reduction and human development over past decades. In the face of a downturn in the global diamond market and associated fiscal pressures, the government is prioritizing economic diversification and structural reforms to attract investment in services, manufacturing, tourism, renewable energy and digital infrastructure. Significant public investments and plans under the National Development Plan and Botswana Economic Transformation Program aim to upgrade transport, digital networks, and utility systems while expanding renewable energy capacity. However, implementation of infrastructure projects faces challenges including efficiency and planning constraints, underscoring the need for improved governance to ensure public investment translates into sustained inclusive growth.
