Hello from the Maldives
At UNDP Maldives, our role will always be anchored on what the Maldivian people sees in the future. We are propelled by the drive of the Government and key actors on the ground, our offer of support built on our strengths, and the synergies and positive shifts we bring working with our partners in development.
As we close Quarter 3 of 2022, we are proud of having remained a trusted partner of the people of Maldives towards a remarkable trajectory of transformation – from governance, economic diversity, innovation, to sustainability and care for people and planet.
Here, we bring to you some of the strides we are making together.
