UNDP in the Islamic Republic of Iran Factsheet

UNDP is the United Nations’ lead agency on sustainable human development. Having pioneered the concept more than 30 years ago and given its long-term presence and cooperation in the vast global development network, UNDP is uniquely positioned for connecting countries to knowledge, best-practices, and resources to achieve greener and sustainable development objectives. We are nimble, innovative, adaptable, and work with partners for solutions to national development challenges.

UNDP has had a representative office in Iran since 1966 and works closely with its major development partners – the government, civil society organizations, academic institutions and the private sector – to achieve the Global Goals set by world leaders, including the overarching commitment “to leave no one behind” by 2030.
