It works to enhance CSO engagement in national health sector planning and policy processes.
UNDP India
UNDP India established a strong partnership with Gavi, taking lead of a $38.5 million component of the grant for rolling out eVIN, developing the national monitoring and evaluation framework for immunization, and support to national research. This partnership has now been extended to a 2nd phase (2017-21), with up to an additional $40 million in funding. The grant is implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and UNICEF and WHO.
UNDP Tajikistan
UNDP Tajikistan and Gavi are in partnership to support the government to build 10 new health facilities, and refurbish 30 health facilities, with provision of equipment and the establishment of mobile services with training and monitoring. WHO and UNICEF are also receiving funds to support the government to implement the programme.
UNDP Zambia
UNDP Zambia and Gavi are finalising an agreement to provide financial mentorship to seven District Health Offices to support the implementation of the Global Fund Health System Strengthening grant. The proposed support will not only improve the reporting to GAVI, but it will also improve the programme delivery on the HSS grant, as delays in disbursements due to missing/incomplete reports will be minimalised.

WHO Go to website

On 4 May 2018 WHO and UNDP signed a Memorandum of Understanding to help support countries to achieve the health-related targets across the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the agenda’s commitment to leave no one behind.
“By working with partners like UNDP, we can better address the social, economic and environmental determinants of health and make progress towards a fairer, safer and more prosperous future for everyone” said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of WHO.
WHO & UNDP have developed a joint commitment to strengthening country capacity to achieve universal health coverage, acting decisively on multi-sectoral responses to health emergencies, as well as ensuring delivery of essential health services in fragile, vulnerable and conflict-affected settings.
In line with WHO’s leadership on universal health coverage, UNDP and WHO are supporting countries to strengthen the capacity of their health systems, including addressing the social, economic and environmental determinants of health.
The collaboration focuses on three key areas:
- Universal health coverage
- Health emergencies
- Health and environment.
The partnership between WHO and UNDP illustrates how the core competencies of the UN health and development agencies can come together to support multi-sectoral responses for health and deliver shared gains across the 2030 Agenda.

One in nine people worldwide still do not have enough to eat. On any given day, WFP has 5,000 trucks, 20 ships and 92 planes on the move, delivering food and other assistance to those in most need.
WFP’s efforts focus on emergency assistance, relief and rehabilitation, development aid and special operations, predominantly in conflict -affected countries where people are three times more likely to be undernourished than those living in countries without conflict.
WFP works with states to draft and implement policies that promote food security and nutrition objectives, rooted in strong governance, responsive institutions and an enabling environment. It offers nationally-tailored technical assistance and capacity development to strengthen individual government capacities to achieve national food security and nutrition objectives:
- Policies and legislation
- Institutional accountability
- Strategic planning and financing
- National programme design and delivery
- Engagement and participation of non-state actors
It also focuses on embedding resilience in interventions, to lessen the effects of shocks and stressors and ensure that people rebuild better after disasters.
UNAIDS Go to website

UNAIDS provides the strategic direction, advocacy, coordination and technical support needed to catalyse and connect leadership from governments, the private sector and communities to deliver life-saving HIV services. It places people living with HIV and people affected by the virus at the decision-making table and at the centre of designing, delivering and monitoring the AIDS response, and is a bold advocate for addressing the legal and policy barriers to the AIDS response.
UNAIDS generates strategic information and analysis that increases the understanding of the state of the AIDS epidemic and progress made at the local, national, regional and global levels. It leads the world’s most extensive data collection on HIV epidemiology, programme coverage and finance on the HIV epidemic—vital for an effective response.
UNAIDS helps to:
- Encourage dialogue and bring in communities that have been left out of decision-making
- Build health and community systems
- Establish legal frameworks
- Shape public opinion towards creating healthy and resilient societies

It operates through its 1500 partner organisations, which include international, non-governmental and governmental organisations and patient groups; along with a secretariat and seven working groups, whose role is to accelerate progress on access to TB diagnosis and treatment; research and development for new TB diagnostics, drugs and vaccines; and tackling drug resistant- and HIV-associated TB. The secretariat is governed by a Coordinating Board that sets strategic direction for the global fight against TB:
- To ensure that every TB patient has access to effective diagnosis, treatment and cure
- To stop transmission of TB
- To reduce the inequitable social and economic toll of TB
- To develop and implement new preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic tools and strategies to stop TB
