The grant represents Canada’s institutional support to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). UNDP uses these funds, along with other donor funding, to achieve its mandate. As the specialized agency of the United Nations focusing on development, UNDP has a dual mandate to support countries in their development path toward achievement of the international development goals, and to coordinate the UN System at the country level. UNDP works in three main areas: designing and implementing sustainable development approaches that benefit poor and marginalized groups and avoids irreversible environmental damage; improving democratic systems of governance that are inclusive and accountable; and resilience-building that helps countries and communities recover quickly and better withstand crisis. Canada's support to UNDP helps countries to promote sustainable and inclusive growth, advance democracy, and address conflict and natural disaster.

The expected outcomes for this project as stated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) include: (1) inclusive and sustainable growth and development, incorporating productive capacities that create employment and livelihoods for the poor and excluded; (2) citizen expectations for voice, development, the rule of law and accountability met by strong systems of democratic governance; (3) strengthened institutions progressively delivering universal access to basic services; (4) faster progress achieved in reducing gender inequality and promoting women’s empowerment; (5) reduced likelihood of conflict and lowered risk of natural disasters, including from climate change; (6) early recovery and rapid return to sustainable development pathways achieved in post-conflict and post-disaster settings; and, (7) development debates and actions at all levels prioritize poverty, inequality and exclusion.

Results achieved by the UNDP through the support of the Government of Canada and other international donors from 2014 to 2015 include: (1) helped 18.6 million people benefit from improved livelihoods in 115 countries; (2) created 1.34 million new jobs (42% were women) in 94 countries; (3) helped 63 countries adopt policies and systems to boost employment and livelihoods; (4) supported 53 countries implement the Millennium Development Goal acceleration framework action plans; (5) helped 22 countries develop Millennium Development Goals action plans and transition to the Sustainable Development Goals; (6) helped 68 million people vote in elections in 37 countries; (7) supported 2.1 million people (51% of them women) access legal aid services in 33 countries; (8) reached 9.7 million people (48% were women) to participate in the ‘My World’ global survey on the post-2015 development agenda; (9) supported 407 disaster response and recovery plans in 28 countries; (10) helped establish 189 end-to-end early warning systems in 26 countries; and (11) supported 41 national development plans on poverty and inequality.
