For over 50 years, we've been hard at work leading the fight against poverty and making real and lasting change in the 170 countries and territories where we work. When we started the fight five decades ago, more than half of the world lived in extreme poverty.
Today? Just one in eight.
Now, we're on a mission to finish the job. But we need your help.
In 2015, the nations of the world agreed on a plan to end extreme poverty by the year 2030. The plan is called the Sustainable Development Goals. UNDP is leading the charge, but we can’t do it alone.
