Poverty Reduction
Through the Millennium Development Goals, the world is addressing the many dimensions of human development, including the halving by 2015 of the proportion of people living in extreme poverty. Developing countries are working to create their own national poverty eradication strategies based on local needs and priorities. UNDP advocates for these nationally-owned solutions and helps ensure their effectiveness. We sponsor innovative pilot projects; connect countries to global best practices and resources; promote the role of women in development; and bring governments, civil society and outside funders together to coordinate their efforts.
Our mission in Azerbaijan is to assist, in partnership with other development agents, the country to fight poverty and stimulate human development through support to creating enabling environment for private sector development which will ensure economic growth accompanied by sustained generation of employment opportunities.
We will champion for a massive injection of oil revenues into human capital formation materializing the convertion of the country's "black gold" into "human gold. |
