UNDP Executive Board endorses Bahrain’s new country programme for 2025-2029

The CPD serves as a strategic framework that aligns UNDP’s work with Bahrain’s national development priorities as outlined in Vision 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework signed in December 2024. The new CPD focuses on improving prosperity and sustainability through diversified, inclusive, and private sector-driven growth, and strengthening governance systems, rule of law, human rights, and civic engagement.

“The CPD for Bahrain is an essential milestone towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and fostering inclusive and sustainable growth in the Kingdom,” said Asmaa Shalabi, UNDP Resident Representative in the Kingdom of Bahrain. “The CPD will guide UNDP’s e􏰀orts in Bahrain over the next five years, ensuring impactful interventions in support of national development priorities while promoting innovation, digitalization, and gender equality as cross-cutting themes.”

UNDP has supported national progress in Bahrain since 1978 helping promote the achievement of national priorities of the kingdom. Globally, UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and exclusion, and build resilience so countries can sustain progress. As the UN’s lead development agency, UNDP is critical in helping countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
