UNDP
More countries than ever before are working to build democratic governance. Their challenge is to develop institutions and processes that are more responsive to the needs of ordinary citizens, including the poor. The UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) brings people together within nations and around the world, building partnerships and sharing ways to promote participation, accountability and effectiveness at all levels; helping countries strengthen their electoral and legislative systems, improve access to justice and public administration, and develop a greater capacity to deliver basic services to those most in need.
