UNDAF is composed of three groups of results: Social Cohesion, Economic Development and Resilience, and Democratic Governance. During 2018, the total resources devoted by UNDP amounted to $ 6.5 million. The areas contributing to the achievement of the Country Program results are: development of legal framework, strategies, action plans and budgets aligned with the national development strategy; national ownership in the diagnosis of SDG indicators and the monitoring matrix. It is an area of focus that has mobilized the effort and commitment of most institutions to promote alignment between the National Development Strategy and various government initiatives and corporate partners to reduce duplication, efforts that result in inefficient use of scarce resources. It is in this capacity that capacity-building actions in strategic planning for key institutions, such as the National Statistical Institute (macroeconomic analysis, applied econometric analysis, data collection and analysis, econometric finance) and the Planning Branch continued in 2018.
The country has good coverage of health services (93.3% of the population within an hour of walking from a health center). The three programs (TB, HIV and Malaria), supported by UNDP, are organized at all levels of the health system with a national coordination unit within the National Endemic Center (CNE). With the support of UNDP, the government has resulted in a commitment of partners (Portuguese and Brazilian cooperation, UNFPA, UNICEF, WHO) to finance the activities of the three diseases.
In the area of economic growth, UNDP support to the legal framework for the energy and water sectors and support for forest management capacity development has helped to strengthen the conditions for attracting private and public investment. public and national capacities for the sustainable management of natural resources. The investment in technical capacity building of beneficiaries and partner institutions has made it possible for the target groups (small farmers, small traders -women, young people) to be better equipped and organized to diversify and increase their livelihoods. Also, the group of artisanal fishermen and the general population have increased their security by improving climate information mechanisms.
