UNDP AND THE UN
UNDP plays a critical advisory role in driving the sustainable development agenda in line with South Africa’s development priorities and fostering coordination within UN South Africa, including providing key system-wide services and country support platforms to support the implementation of the SDGs. UNDP South Africa works with the UN system to help the Government of South Africa deliver its District Development Model (DDM) and COVID-19 response and recovery interventions.
UNDP AND THE GOVERNMENT
UNDP partners with the South African Government and its department to help them access different forms of development finance to rollout development initiatives to address triple development challenges of poverty, income inequality and unemployment, in line with the National Development Plan and the 2030 Agenda.
UNDP AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR
The private sector is recognized as a key partner to the achievement of the universally adopted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It plays an important role as an engine of economic growth and job creation. It provides goods and services, generates tax revenues to finance essential social and economic infrastructure, develops new and innovative solutions that help tackle development challenges and it is a central actor in addressing climate change.
UNDP’s collaboration with the private sector takes various forms:
UNDP AND CIVIL SOCIETY
Civil society actors at national and global levels have developed substantive capacity and influence in a range of development issues. Partnering with them can help contribute to the effectiveness of development interventions, especially concerning marginalized and vulnerable groups. In South Africa, UNDP partners with a broad range of formal and informal civil society organizations that are outside the state and market. These include social movements, volunteer organizations, non-governmental organizations, and community-based organizations, as well as communities and citizens acting individually and collectively.
Accountability is the obligation to (i) demonstrate that work has been conducted in accordance with agreed rules and standards and (ii) report fairly and accurately on performance results vis-à-vis mandated roles and/or plans. (source: UNDP Accountability Framework (PDF)
