We are on the ground in 166 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges.

These include democratic governance ; prosperity, poverty reduction and MDGs ; local development and human security ; and energy and environment . In each of these thematic areas, UNDP tries to ensure balance between policy and advocacy work, capacity building activities and pilot projects.UNDP established its presence in Ukraine in 1993.
