tender 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.

Locations
Malawi
Malawi’s development agenda centres on closing infrastructure deficits in energy, transport and irrigation to support agricultural productivity and economic diversification. Investment in power generation and transmission seeks to address chronic electricity shortages that limit industrial growth, while road and trade corridor upgrades aim to enhance regional connectivity. Given constrained public finances and exposure to climate risks, Malawi relies heavily on concessional financing and development partners. Continued reforms to strengthen public investment management and regulatory frameworks are key to improving infrastructure delivery and long-term resilience.
