UNDP supports four interlinked, inclusive and holistic development pathways. Underpinned by a resilience-based strategy that addresses the needs of the most vulnerable communities, those pathways are: Strengthened stabilization; Diversified pro-poor economic growth for sustainable livelihoods; Improved governance with accountable institutions that protect the rights of vulnerable groups and pave the way for citizen-state trust; and Decreased fragility to climate change.
