| Overview : The new Regional Programme Document (RPD) for Africa 2014 to 2017 was approved during the January 2014 meeting of UNDP’s Executive Board. With Africa’s aspirations as the starting point, and responding to the challenges, opportunities and priorities of the continent, the RPD intends to contribute to Africa’s efforts to eradicate poverty and reduce inequalities and exclusion through synergistic support to the regional dimensions of four of the seven outcomes of the UNDP Strategic Plan (SP) 2014 -2017.
1. Growth and development are inclusive and sustainable, incorporating productive capacities that create employment and livelihoods for the poor and excluded;
2. Citizen expectations for voice, development, the rule of law and accountability are met by stronger systems of democratic governance;
3. Countries are able to reduce the likelihood of conflict, and lower the risk of natural disasters, including from climate change; and
4. Development debates and actions at all levels prioritize poverty, inequality and exclusion, consistent with our engagement principles.
In order to operationalize the implementation of the four RPD outcomes, specific project documents detailing key activities and results (outputs) to be achieved are being developed for each outcome with an additional fifth outcome on gender:
