The report focuses attention on key aspects of United Nations Development Programme's work under the current strategic plan, and considers the way the UNDP, as an essential UN organisation, provides programme support to partner governments.

The evaluation examines the processes and effects of this reorganization through collaborative work undertaken with the UNDP office of Audit and Investigations, and also looks at the results that have been delivered during this challenging period. The UNDP programme portfolio spans about 170 countries and territories, and covers a wide ranging and complex set of issues.
