Democratic Governance

Effective institutions are the foundation of sustainable development.

UNDP strengthens governance systems that are responsive, inclusive, and accountable. We support electoral processes, strengthen parliaments and judiciaries, combat corruption, promote human rights, and help build institutions that deliver services effectively to all citizens. Good governance creates the conditions for sustainable development and lasting peace.
