Health Strengthening
UNDP focuses on Health System Strengthening in India by aligning with national priorities like e-governance and Digital India. The emphasis lies on supporting states and local governance for effective program implementation. UNDP's gender-centric approach aims to enhance health service delivery, empower health workers, and ensure gender-inclusive responses, particularly in HIV programmes. The goal is to foster national ownership, sustainability, and citizen engagement, promoting institutional responsiveness, effectiveness, and accountability in delivering core services. Innovative participatory mechanisms will engage citizens, especially women and vulnerable groups, in co-creating development solutions.

Youth Co:Lab
Youth Co: Lab, a collaboration between the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Citi Foundation, works across the Asia-Pacific region to empower youth to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Launched in India in 2019 with NITI Aayog's Atal Innovation Mission, it has organised thematic challenges, dialogues, and webinars. The initiative strengthens entrepreneurial skills through regional events, fosters social entrepreneurship, and raises SDG awareness. Programmes like Springboard and Springboard Plus provide ongoing support and a virtual pre-accelerator for young SDG innovators, while Youth Co: Lab fosters connections among ecosystem stakeholders through its Youth Empowerment Alliance.
