Annual report 2011

A narrative of the achievements, challenges and financial report of Gender Links from March 2011 – February 2012.

This report takes stock of achievements made in 2010/2011 and provides momentum for meeting future demands. On the ground in 177 countries and territories worldwide, UNDP continues to assist governments in empowering their citizens through projects and programmes that make a difference in people’s lives, allowing for informed choices, and building the groundwork towards more resilient nations. Resilience in particular ensures that societies, communities and families can withstand crisis – whether it is a natural disaster or a food price shock – and bounce back with limited long-term damage, and be better prepared for the next crisis. In 2010, as always, UNDP worked hard to deliver on its commitments to the people and countries it serves.
