Mission and objectives

On the ground in about 170 countries and territories, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) works to eradicate poverty while protecting the planet. We help countries develop strong policies, skills, partnerships, and institutions so they can sustain their progress. In Viet Nam, the Government and UNDP partnership officially started in 1978. Since then, UNDP has been working closely with the Government and other partners to expand the choices for people and ensure that everyone has equal access to opportunities to realize their full potentials. The current Country Programme (2017-2021) contributes to three inter-related outcomes of the One UN Strategic Plan for Viet Nam, aiming to address poverty and inequalities; enhance citizen participation and protection of rights; as well as promote sustainable low-carbon development while strengthening the resilience of the targeted groups. - Outcome 1: Poverty eradication and greater socio-economic equity. - Outcome 2: Low-carbon, resilience, and environmentally sustainable development. - Outcome 3: Institutional accountability, people’s voice, and access to justice.

Context

The Movers Programme, founded by Youth Co:Lab, an initiative co-led by UNDP and Citi Foundation, provides Movers with the knowledge, tools and guidance to take action and develop 21st-century skills. The Movers Programme is a regional movement of volunteers who develop SDGs awareness, entrepreneurial mindsets and 21st-century skills by conducting localized training at a grassroots level. The Movers Programme uses a training-of-trainer approach and works with community partners to target harder-to-reach groups and support Youth Co:Lab’s objective to leave no youth behind. In Viet Nam, Movers programme wants to mobilise youth across the country to raise awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals and develop entrepreneurial mindsets, by organising and facilitating the Movers Workshop in their communities. Movers Workshops are 2-hour fun and interactive sessions for youth to discover and relate to a key thematic area that falls under 21st-century skills. Each workshop comes with relevant resources to encourage ongoing learning. https://www.youthcolab.org/movers
