LocationsPartnerships: the core of our network
Building and strengthening alliances is the core of UNDP and the Accelerator Labs’ model. On this page we present our growing range of partnerships at the global, national, and local levels.
Co-built as a joint venture with the states of Germany and Qatar and the support of UNDP core donors, the Accelerator Lab Network taps into local innovations and tests new ways of working to address social and environmental challenges.
The Accelerator Labs’ range of partnerships is diverse and dynamic, spanning the public and private sectors and involving financial and in-kind contributions. The partnership portfolio includes a robust set of Action Partners that add value to the learning of the Network, as well as coordination and integration across actors within the UN family.
