Background

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the leading UN organization advancing sustainable development globally and in Ethiopia. As a key integrator within the UN system, UNDP plays a central role in helping countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNDP operates at global, regional, and country levels, combining international expertise with local knowledge to deliver practical solutions and impactful advocacy.

Within the GPN, the Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS) have the responsibility for developing all relevant policy and guidance to support the results of UNDP's Strategic Plan. BPPS's staff provides technical advice to Country Offices, advocates for UNDP corporate messages, represents UNDP at multi-stakeholder fora including public-private dialogues, government and civil society dialogues, and engages in UN inter-agency coordination in specific thematic areas. BPPS works closely with UNDP's Crisis Bureau (CB) to support emergency and crisis response. BPPS ensures that issues of risk are fully integrated into UNDP's development programmes.BPPS assists UNDP and partners to achieve higher quality development results through an integrated approach that links results-based management and performance monitoring with more effective and new ways of working. BPPS supports UNDP and partners to be more innovative, knowledge and data driven including in its programme support efforts.

As per UNDP’s new Strategic Plan 2026-2029, four strategic objectives – prosperity for all, effective governance, crisis resilience and healthy planet – define the organization’s strategic direction, powered by three accelerators: digital and artificial intelligence (AI) transformation; gender equality; and sustainable finance.

The central purpose of the Rome Centre is to ensure the effective implementation and further development of the strategic partnership between UNDP and the government of Italy across the objectives of sustainable development and in doing so advancing the broader partnership between UNDP and G7 and G20 countries.

The Rome Centre focuses on the critical policy areas of youth engagement in climate action, energy for development and climate finance.

Platform for Investment Support and Technical Assistance (PISTA) aims to mobilize finance for climate, energy, and environment by originating projects that support decarbonization and climate-resilient transitions in developing economies, while catalyzing international financial resources. Matching impactful projects with investors goes hand in hand with engagement with financial institutions—both institutional and private—at Italian and global levels.In its current portfolio, PISTA is supporting 24 projects across Africa, to which it is providing technical assistance with the goal of strengthening their bankability - from developing financial models, to enhancing environmental and social impact management, to more ad hoc project support.

Energy for Growth promotes access to sustainable energy in developing countries, contributing to SDG7. It supports partner countries in unlocking finance to scale up clean energy solutions, expand energy access, and accelerate the energy transition. By connecting UNDP’s country presence and technical capacity with the public‑private ecosystem of Italy and other G7 countries, the initiative helps mobilize capital aligned with the international energy and SDG agenda.
