UNDP's approach to health implementation is grounded in its mandate to support countries' achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. As a development agency, UNDP is uniquely positioned to advance progress towards universal health coverage by tackling the social, economic, and environmental determinants of health. This work is informed by UNDP's broader mission to eradicate poverty, build resilience, and catalyze structural transformations for development.
UNDP has worked in partnership with the Global Fund since its inception in 2002 to implement grants to tackle the epidemics of HIV, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria in some of the most challenging operating environments. UNDP has served as interim Principal Recipient of the Global Fund grants in 53 countries since 2002, supporting governments to implement large-scale health programmes, strengthen systems for health and reach marginalized and hard-to-reach populations with critical services, often in some of the most challenging country contexts. The partnership has saved 7.3 million lives. Key results include 1.5 million people currently on HIV treatment, 95 million bed nets distributed to protect families from malaria, and 1 million cases of TB successfully treated.
