United Nations - Pakistan (UN Pakistan)

Mission

At the behest of the Government of Pakistan the United Nations supports national development efforts and responds to emergencies and crises as and when required.

The UN system in Pakistan assists the Government through the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF), a plan that outlines the activities and modalities of the UN’s support in the achievement of development goals prioritized by the Government and in line with international norms and conventions, especially the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The current UNDAF has been extended to 2012 to allow the piloting of the UN Reform. The work of the UN has been reorganized in five thematic areas with four cross cutting issues under joint programmes enveloped in the One Program Document. This re-organization allows the UN to combine its strengths for greater efficiency and efficacy.
