The European Union (EU) is one of the major partners and funders of UNDP’s work. Currently, the EU and UNDP are partnering in 140 countries to deepen democratic governance, prevent or recover from conflict and natural disasters, build resilience and adapt to climate change.
The EU and its Member States are jointly the world’s largest donor of the development aid, with their Official Development Assistance (ODA) having reached €75.5 billion in 2016. The present plan builds on the success story of its predecessor, the EU|UNDP Pro PALOP-TL SAI’s Joint Visibility Plan (2014-17).
The Pro PALOP-TL SAI visibility and communications plans were developed and agreed with the EU Delegation in Cabo Verde at the start of the project, in line with the Joint Action Plan on Visibility and the Joint Visibility Guidelines for EC-UN Actions in the Field that were agreed between the EU and the UN and remain the prevailing frameworks to be followed by the UN system in delivering on the communications and visibility commitments in the EU-funded projects.
