| Overview : Aiming to eradicate poverty, violence and hunger, UNDP supports countries in Africa to translate economic growth into long-lasting, inclusive human development. The organisation works with governments, businesses, communities and regional organisations, helping countries to develop capacity, share knowledge and mobilize funds for sustainable development. In 2014, UNDP started implementing its new strategic plan to become more driven, results-oriented, and efficient. The plan will ensure UNDP will be fit for purpose and make the best use of the resources trusted to it. Making an impact on country level and the ability to make prominent contributions to the global development dialogue are key objectives of the plan. As an extension of the UNDP Headquarters, the UNDP Regional Service Centre for Africa (RSCA), based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, serves UNDP’s 46 Country Offices in Africa and implements UNDP’s Regional Programme on the continent. The new Regional Programme supports Africa’s transformation by 1) enhancing inclusive and sustainable growth, 2) widening political participation and giving everyone a voice, and 3) developing responsive institutions which deliver desired services and promote inclusive processes of state-society dialogue. The work builds on UNDP’s expertise in development thinking and practice, and decades of experience working at country level in Africa. Compelling, well-targeted communications can boost resource mobilisation efforts and delivery of the new Regional Programme. Communications can, likewise, play a crucial role in positioning UNDP as a credible and trusted development partner and thought leader in Africa, creating greater awareness about the organisation’s work and its impact on the continent, and bolstering relationships with partners.
