Mission and objectives

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Somalia has been supporting the government’s efforts in effective implementation of the National Development Plan (NDP), which is aligned with the corporate Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In support of development plans outlined in the NDP, UNDP in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders including government, multilateral agencies, private sector and civil society has been developing and implementing projects in its main thematic areas of Economic Growth and Employment, Democratic Governance, Rule of Law and Security, Human Development and Economics. These projects contribute towards achieving the overall national goal of socioeconomic transformation for poverty reduction, economic revival and societal transfer in a socially just and gender equitable manner.

Context

UNDP Somalia has adopted an agile, proactive, and context responsive management approach, to enhance its programming effectiveness. Adaptive management is an approach based on a culture of collective and collaborative sensing, analysis and joint learning to enhance synergies, harmonize interventions, and where needed, make delegated decisions to adjust internal or external (program, partnership, delivery or financing) modalities, systems, structures and processes, for better results. Various lessons and learnings have been generated while piloting this approach through an integrated area-based programming model, which requires capturing in blog formats to further enhance our future programming directions.
