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

Lesotho

Lesotho’s development agenda includes upgrading essential infrastructure - such as transport links, water supply and energy systems - to support economic integration with South Africa and regional markets. Participating in Southern African regional projects helps improve connectivity, but limited domestic resources and challenging terrain mean that external financing and improved governance are important for realising investment in critical infrastructure that supports inclusive growth and provokes private sector participation.
