WHAT IS GOVERNANCE?

Inclusive, accountable, and effective governance underpins sustainable development.

Governance systems across the globe are under increasing pressure in multiple ways, including economic contractions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, a growing debt crisis, a changing climate with increasingly extreme weather events, the rapid pace of technological change, increasingly visible inequalities, a fragmented, contested and less effective multilateralism, and people's growing dissatisfaction with the status quo. Furthermore, some governments and governance systems are becoming increasingly repressive, reinforcing exclusion, political polarity, and discrimination, thereby hindering efforts to end poverty, protect the planet and improve lives and livelihoods.

UNDP seeks to strengthen and promote inclusive, effective and accountable governance through a people-centred, systemic approach that is innovative and draws on the opportunities of digitalization. Our work in governance is organized into four interrelated and integrated workstreams with sub profiles:

UNDP's portfolio on Governance for Public Goods and Services includes:

1. Anti – Corruption (and Economic Governance)

UNDP's anti-corruption and Economic Governance initiatives support the legitimacy of public authorities and trust in governance. They act as accelerators to achieve the SDGs, which rely on effective, transparent, and inclusive governance mechanisms and institutions to meet the needs of all people. UNDP provides policy and programme support on anti-corruption and coordinates UNDP's internal work through regional hubs and country offices. It enhances accountability, transparency, and anti-corruption measures that are critical for the efficient delivery of public goods.

UNDP's work in anti-corruption has been instrumental in advancing the transparency, accountability, and integrity agendas at global, regional, and country levels. UNDP integrates anti-corruption solutions in service delivery sectors, strengthening the institutional capacity of government institutions, civil society organizations, and the private sector to prevent and address corruption, leveraging technology and innovation for integrity and anti-corruption, and leading anti-corruption knowledge and global advocacy. UNDP's work on Anti-corruption is now enriched with an offer on Economic Governance that further addresses the connection between resources and public expenditures for sustainable development and the role of private sector.

UNDP has six service lines addressing anti-corruption: 1) anti-corruption for effective service delivery; 2) integrity for climate, biodiversity, and environment; 3) anti-corruption for conflict prevention and peacebuilding; 4) transparency and integrity in cities and local authorities; 5) anti-corruption for economic governance and development financing; and 6) empowering agents of change for anti-corruption.

2. Digital Governance

Digital tools and platforms can empower people by providing widespread access to information and global connections. Where it is available, people are using technology to hold governments accountable, and governments, in turn, are using technology to be more transparent, accountable, and inclusive. However, the same digital technologies can cause risks to democratic governance and push those caught on the wrong side of the digital divide into deeper exclusion. Unaccountable institutions can use digital technologies to pursue their interests. Fast-moving technologies often outpace legal safeguards and government oversight, putting people at risk of cyberattacks, data breaches, abuse, and worse.

UNDP's work in this area supports both the 'governance of digitalisation' – that is, the governance arrangements required to ensure that digital transformation is rights-based, inclusive, and supports the achievement of the SDGs – and the 'digitalisation for governance' – harnessing digital technologies for accountable, inclusive, and effective governance. UNDP supports the preparation and harmonization of policy frameworks for digital governance and helps facilitate the adoption of mechanisms that ensure the highest possible digital standards, along with capacity building. Following the priorities outlined in each country's national strategic framework, we provide recommendations for an easy transition to digital platforms, fully integrating human rights and gender equality principles. UNDP's work on digital governance aims to improve institutional resilience, enhance trust in institutions and help develop people-centred and inclusive digital governance policies.

3. Legal Identity

People with no legal identity are often pushed to the margins of society, unable to prove who they are, secure decent work, acquire a driver's license, apply for benefits, or "exist" in society. They are often exposed to extreme vulnerabilities and have limited access to public goods and services as well as private services.

Article 6 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights states that everybody has the right to a legal identity. Sustainable Development Goal Target 16.9 ("legal identity for all, including birth registration, by 2030") has been acknowledged as crucial for advancing the 2030 Agenda commitment to leave no one behind. However, hundreds of millions of people still lack proper identification, and about half of the world's countries do not have a universal system for registering births and deaths.

The United Nations Legal Identity Agenda Task Force, co-chaired by UNDP, UNDESA, and UNICEF, is working with Member States to ensure that more than 300 million people acquire a legal identity by 2025 and 80% of people in the world have legal identity by 2030. UNDP is strengthening the capacity of Member States to develop holistic, country-owned, sustainable and interoperable civil registration, vital statistics and identity management systems. UNDP is working to increase the number of countries that address legal identity issues as a foundational pillar of national development plans and strategies and ensure that everyone, without exception, has access to essential public goods and services.

The required expertise includes but is not limited to legal framework revision around legal identity, development of national strategy, business process improvement of the entire legal identity ecosystem (CRVS, health, education, Judiciary, voter registry, tax registry, passport etc.), governance of identity management system, as well as development and upgrading of critical ICT infrastructure that enables digitalization of legal identity management system, in the context of Digital Public Infrastructure.

4. Local Governance (and Local Action)

UNDP supports local governance processes and works with all local stakeholders as essential partners for SDG achievement . UNDP knows that local and regional governments are critical in turning Agenda 2030 and the SDGs from a global vision into a local reality, but we also recognize the importance of listening and directly engaging local communities, the private sector and other local actors to co-create locally led portfolios for sustainable development. From gender equality and climate action to quality education and health care, subnational authorities with other local actors are best positioned to respond to the communities' priorities and needs, serving as a natural integrator where socio-economic issues, the environment, and cultures interlink.

5. Public Sector Strengthening (and Civil Service Reforms)

Public administration in the 21st century is undergoing dramatic change, not only in advanced economies but also in many parts of the developing world. Problems faced by governments are increasingly complex and global rather than simple, linear, and national in focus. The COVID-19 pandemic, the nature and climate crises, and the food and energy crises brought on by the ongoing conflicts highlight the need for enhanced, dynamic, more inclusive, and innovative public sector and civil service capabilities. UNDP supports the strengthening of the public sector and civil service drawing on a range of public management models and tools that are appropriate to different contexts while putting the needs and interests of people at the heart of reform. We work to strengthen inclusive, accountable, and effective public administrations and civil service institutions with improved capacities and capabilities for policy coherence, anticipating, adapting, and learning, harnessing citizen initiatives and innovation, and governing data and digital platforms. At a moment of renewed focus on the central importance of an effective, inclusive, and responsive public sector, UNDP is also working to advance a new generation of gender-responsive public institutions through the Gender Equality SEAL for Public Institutions, and through strengthening data and research on gender equality in the public service.

Democratic institutions and processes

6. Electoral cycle support

Hundreds of countries annually conduct elections to choose national, local, and regional representation. UNDP supports many of them to organize credible, inclusive, peaceful elections and is the largest provider of electoral assistance in the UN system assisting an average of 60 countries each year. Through this support, the organization emphasizes respect for human rights and gender equality and pays particular attention to the threats to electoral integrity and credibility, such as information pollution. UNDP does not see electoral cycle support as an end goal in itself but integrates it into broader efforts to strengthen inclusive political processes for progressive societal change.

Through strategic partnerships with other UN entities, such as the Electoral Assistance Division in the UN Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, UN Women, and many other UN and non-UN partners. Most UNDP electoral assistance is delivered through projects implemented working directly with Electoral Management Bodies to strengthen their capacity to conduct inclusive, peaceful, and credible elections. UNDP also works with national governments and civil society organizations to advance women's political participation in the electoral process and to prevent violence against women in politics.

Working at the global level, UNDP develops and combines lessons learned in national-level projects and feeds them into the global and regional policy dialogue and into the development of new projects that reflect the latest best practices in electoral assistance and electoral administration. It also promotes global capacity development (such as via the Building Resources in Democratic Governance and Elections project – BRIDGE) and knowledge tools such as the ACE Electoral Knowledge Network.

7. Parliamentary support

Parliaments have crucial constitutional mandates concerning law-making, oversight, and representation and play a critical role in advancing sustainable development, including on issues related to budgeting, finance and debt, climate change mitigation and adaptation, green transitions and digitalization. They provide an essential forum for diverse parts of society to engage in policymaking, express their views, voice concerns, and demand accountability.

In many countries, however, there is an urgent need to reform and improve the functioning of parliaments, making them more representative, open, and accountable. Effective political institutions, such as parliaments and political parties, are central to advancing robust systems of democratic governance. Leveraging its unique position as a trusted partner, UNDP works with parliaments around the world to strengthen their capacities to fulfill their institutional responsibilities and to work more effectively as part of a system of partners, including with national ministries, local governments, independent oversight bodies, and civil society. This support helps ensure that elections, national planning, budgeting, and law-making efforts are more inclusive, gender-responsive, and risk-informed.

8. Women's political participation

Gender equality and women's empowerment remain critical development issues in many countries worldwide. Achieving women's representation in elected institutions in equal proportion to men is essential to establishing the credibility and legitimacy of parliaments, national assemblies, and local governments. However, even though women comprise half of the world's population, they only make up about 20 percent of parliamentary representation.

UNDP works with governments worldwide to combat discriminatory legislation and policies and improve gender equality outcomes in policymaking by creating structures and strategic plans to enhance women's political participation and gender equality, including through the use of temporary special measures (TSMs).

Barriers to women's participation in governance, including patriarchal gender norms, continue to create a challenging environment. In contexts of closing democratic space and a backlash against gender equality, UNDP is well positioned with its knowledge of the political context and the breadth of its programming to respond smartly to ensure that programming and policy advice builds on astute political analysis. UNDP seeks to increase the number of countries with strategies/programmes/initiatives to advance women's political participation in the electoral process and prevent violence against women in politics. It also works to introduce initiatives at the local level that strengthen dialogue mechanisms and enhance policy spaces to enable gender equality advocates and civil society to promote gender equality and women's political participation.

Open and inclusive public sphere

9. Civic space and civic engagement

Promoting civic engagement is integral to the work of UNDP across all signature solutions. This includes improving the enabling environment for civil society, strengthening civil society itself, ensuring there are spaces for citizens to influence decision-making processes, and creating an environment of transparency with healthy information ecosystems and access to information.

Through policy advice and programmatic support, UNDP promotes people's participation from all sectors of society in implementing and following up on the 2030 Agenda. It seeks to create inclusive spaces for civic engagement while strengthening the capacity of civil society actors to work in multi-stakeholder partnerships that mobilize and share knowledge, financial resources, expertise, and technology. UNDP also works with countries to introduce or improve legislative or regulatory measures that advance the realization of fundamental freedoms related to civic space, especially freedom of expression, freedom of peaceful assembly, and freedom of association.

This work also includes interventions that promote women's leadership and equal access to participation opportunities in the public sphere. Specific and targeted activities are designed to ensure other groups often marginalized – such as for instance people from Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, and Transgender (LGBTI+) communities, ethnic and religious minorities, persons with disabilities, and indigenous peoples – are included in decision-making processes.

Through its many projects and initiatives, UNDP seeks to remove barriers preventing the active and meaningful participation of specific population groups in governance, with an emphasis on women, and women organizations, movements and networks, young people, and youth organizations, movements and networks, and other historically marginalized population groups like persons with disabilities, displaced people and refugees. The barriers may include capacities (technical, financial, economic) and social norms.

10. Disability inclusion

Leaving no one behind, including persons with disabilities, is a key direction of change in UNDP's Strategic Plan 2022 – 2025.

As the UN's development arm, UNDP champions disability-inclusive development, grounding our work in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the SDGs as mutually reinforcing frameworks. Guided by the United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy (UNDIS), our twin-track approach to disability inclusion programming entails mainstreaming and providing targeted support to member states across s a variety of initiatives, programmes and projects. These aims are supported not only by UNDP's own policy and programmatic work but also by our participation in the United Nations Partnership on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Multi-Partner Trust MPTF (UNPRPD MPTF). This unique partnership brings together UN entities, governments and organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs) to advance the implementation of the CRPD and disability-inclusive SDGs at the country level around the world. UNDP hosts the technical secretariat of the UNPRPD MPTF within the Governance Team. UNDP's work on disability inclusion focuses on three major areas:

· Leading work on cross-sectoral issues with transformational potential for persons with disabilities – e.g. legal and institutional reform and strengthening OPDs' capacities to meaningfully engage in political and decision-making processes.

· Mainstreaming disability inclusion into specific sectors of work highlighted in UNDP's strategic plan, including - among others - gender and climate action.

· Supporting UN system-wide coordinated action on disability, participating in interagency coordination mechanisms and elevating disability inclusion in key multilateral fora, e.g. HLPF.

11. Media development

Access to information and freedom of expression are indispensable to secure people's ability to receive reliable information, and essential for meaningful citizen participation in the conduct of public affairs. These, in turn, require journalists who can safely produce quality content irrespective of their gender, nationality, ethnicity, race, language, religion, or any other status as well as media outlets that can operate with sufficient resources and without undue interference. The past few decades have seen a global revolution in how people access, consume, and share information. These transformations have brought about opportunities but also challenges that intersect with longer-standing challenges to media pluralism, freedom, and independence.

UNDP's media-related initiatives can be classed under three broad and interconnected areas of engagement (i) promoting enabling environments normative, legal, and regulatoryconducive to free and professional media; (ii) leveraging the potential of media outlets to be actors for peace and development; and (iii) developing the capacities of social actors and governments to use media channels to achieve specific development aims. These three areas of engagement encompass UNDP's ability and potential to work holistically with a range of actors and institutions in support of the media's role in governance, sustainable development, and peace. UNDP media-related activities span an extensive range of programmatic areas, covering themes as diverse as the accountability and responsiveness of state institutions, environmental issues, climate change, and gender equality, to mention only a few. One of UNDP's clear strengths and comparative advantages in working with the media is its ability to engage on a broad range of key development challenges aligned with its expertise and mandate, whether on issues of good governance, peacebuilding, SDG implementation, or equality and inclusion.

12. Information integrity

There is growing evidence that information pollution is causing harm, including democratic backsliding, human rights violations, and social and political polarization, This is true even in advanced digital societies with robust democratic institutions. UNDP has a diverse portfolio of information integrity programming in a range of country contexts, many of which suffer from conflict, weak governments structures, and other fragilities. The impact of information pollution in these contexts is potentially even more alarming yet is under-studied. Furthermore, as this is an emerging field, many policy and programme responses being deployed have not undergone rigorous testing, and their intended and unintended impacts still need to be fully understood.

Given its global governance mandate and portfolio, UNDP has a significant interest in bridging this gap and ensuring that the impacts of information pollution and the potential responses to it in a diversity of contexts are better understood and considered in global policy conversations on the future of the information ecosystem.

UNDP is developing strategies and working with a broad range of partners to address disinformation's key drivers and enablers while protecting fundamental rights to information, freedom of expression, and participation in the conduct of public affairs. UNDP's information integrity programming also addresses gendered disinformation that amplifies misogyny, discrimination, and violence and often fuels backlash against gender equality.

13. Youth empowerment

UNDP plays an essential role in the promotion, coordination and coherence of the United Nations agenda on youth. UNDP is committed to promoting the rights of future generations and amplifying young people's voices in decision-making and the future of their communities through capacity development, youth political participation and support to young innovators and climate activists. UNDP recognizes that young people can be positive agents of change and represent an immense and valuable potential that governments, civil society, and institutions should nurture and invest in. UNDP seeks to enhance those aspects required for vibrant democratic governance, including by advancing programming and policy efforts focused on youth empowerment and meaningful engagement in peace and development processes.

Because young women and men are a significant force for sustainable development and key agents for social change, economic growth, and technological innovation, UNDP promotes and supports their empowerment. This is done by promoting fully inclusive governance processes, increasing youth participation in decision-making, ramping up youth employment, engaging young people in peacebuilding processes and peace infrastructure programmes, protecting young people's rights, and ensuring young people are a part of SDG integration, implementation, and monitoring.

UNDP also supports the capacity development of young people and youth-led organizations and the development of youth caucuses in government, parliament, and other bodies to be able to engage in dialogue and influence public decision-making processes. UNDP engages with relevant stakeholders through outreach, advocacy, thought leadership, global networks and constituencies, and policy dialogues. UNDP supports global efforts to meet the Paris Agreement goals and the Sustainable Development Goals and recognizes the crucial role that young people play in advocating for human rights, including the right to a healthy environment and solutions to the climate crisis.

Integrating governance principles in development

14. Energy Governance

Energy is essential for social and economic development. Good energy governance is needed to ensure a just energy transition that brings people out of poverty, reduces social inequalities, supports human rights, and serves the broader public interest rather than just that of specific groups.

The commitment to "leave no one behind" requires increasing energy access to those who are furthest behind, most challenging to reach, and living in crisis situations. It also requires improving energy efficiency and accelerating the energy transition by capitalizing on clean energy technologies, innovating business models, and developing new strategies for private sector investments. In this context, UNDP and its partners have pledged to provide clean and affordable energy for 500 million more people by 2025 and to ensure everyone is plugged into some form of electricity by 2030.

UNDP works to increase access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy, increase the global rate of efficiency improvements and increase the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. We do this by strengthening the capacities and capabilities of institutions to ensure they are responsive, accountable, trustworthy, transparent, and able to address intersecting challenges and opportunities in the energy sector. We also focus on developing or supporting legal and regulatory frameworks that promote renewable energy, encourage private investments, support new clean energy innovations and foster innovative business models for the energy sector.

As civic engagement and empowerment play a critical role in supporting an energy transition, UNDP also works with governments to empower citizens and communities to participate in problem diagnosis and co-create energy solutions. The voices of women, youth, indigenous people, persons with disabilities, and others who are often excluded from public policymaking yet most impacted must be incorporated into energy decision-making processes.

Lastly, UNDP works to strengthen appropriate oversight mechanisms so they can perform their important role in the energy governance of the 21st century by ensuring compliance with fundamental rights and standards. These include national parliaments and their committees, independent agencies, ombudspersons, human rights commissions, anticorruption agencies, investigation and judiciary bodies, and consumer commissions.

15. Environmental Governance

As recognized in Agenda 2030, governance and institutions play a pivotal role in promoting sustainable development. Strengthening governance systems and systematically integrating governance principles of inclusion, accountability and responsiveness in environmental policies and programming, including related to critical minerals, is critical for the structural transformations that UNDP's Strategic Plan seeks to support.

SDG 16/Governance Data and Analytics

16. Governance Data and Analytics

UNDP, through its Global Policy Centre on Governance, facilitates access to data and statistics, methodologies and research to inform evidence-based policy making to address structural governance issues that impede the achievement of sustainable development. The Centre generates analysis and insights on countries that are making progress on different dimensions of governance, supports the development of internationally comparable methodologies for governance data collection and reporting, and supports collection of timely, reliable and quality data on governance. UNDP has a particular focus on supporting data collection, reporting and capacity development on UNDP custodian indicators for SDG 16 (on participation and representation, inclusive and responsive decision-making, and access to justice) and supporting the implementation of the SDG 16 Survey Initiative with UN partners. The Centre works closely with National Statistics Offices on governance measurement, in partnership with UNDP country offices and regional hubs, to inform evidence-based policy making on governance issues. This includes supporting capacity development (e.g. through regional virtual training programmes and national workshops), engaging in support on implementation of the SDG 16 Survey Initiative, support to reporting on UNDP custodian indicators on SDG 16. To strengthen global methodologies on governance measurement, the Centre also supports the Praia Group on Governance Statistics to develop tools and methodologies .
