UNDP is privileged to partner with Pacific Island Countries and Territory as they strive towards the achievement of national ambitions, regional aspirations, and the Sustainable Development Goals. In 2020–2021, UNDP assisted countries with their immediate responses to COVID-19, recorded progress against many of the targets that were set prior to the pandemic, and supported countries with pandemic recovery plans.

This report sets out some of UNDP’s major results in 14 Pacific Island Countries and Territory in 2020 and 2021. It provides information on the Pacific context and presents an overview of UNDP’s work across programmatic areas, highlighting the value it provides to its partners, the scope of projects related to each strategic outcome area, and how UNDP is well positioned to offer timely and targeted assistance to Pacific Island Countries.
