The UNDP is a politically neutral development agency that provides impartial advice, advocacy, development and financial support to the 174 UN-certified developing countries that are home to 90 percent of the world's poor. A guiding principle of the UNDP is that sustainable development is paramount to the pursuit of peace and human security. In achieving sustainable development, the UN must therefore be a strong advocate of development as well as peace.
The UNDP maintains a presence in most developing countries through a network of 132 local offices. Through these offices, UNDP assists local governments in formulating policies and strengthening capacity for delivering basic human needs to people.
In Thailand, UNDP is involved in four thematic areas: poverty alleviation, promoting good governance, natural resources/environment management and trilateral co-operation. UNDP also continues to run an active sub-regional programme, in collaboration with other agencies, on HIV/AIDS. In 2000 the UNDP has been playing an active role in working with other UN agencies to develop interagency projects.
