The UNDP Regional Centre in Colombo mainly focuses on Poverty Reduction with an overarching effort on achieving the Millennium Development Goals. It provides advisory support to UNDP country offices in a number of cross-cutting areas, ranging from pro-poor macroeconomic and human development policies to international trade, the trans-border challenges of HIV/AIDS and gender equality and supporting governments in the implementation of MDG-based national development strategies.
The Centre’s website provides access to resources on a host of regional issues in addition to details of projects and other UNDP work in the area.
