About the CPD

The CPD is a five-year programme that  outlines areas of support and collaboration between UNDP and the Government in order to achieve a common goal:  leaving no one behind and strengthening institutions to reach those furthest behind first. It focuses on two components; Sustainable Inclusive Economic Growth and Efficient and Participatory Governance. Copies of the simplified version of the CPD will be available at the launch.
