UNDP's MissionUnited Nations Development Program brings people together within nations and around the world, building partnerships and sharing ways to promote participation, accountability and effectiveness at all levels. UNDP uses its global network to help the UN system and its partners to raise awareness and track progress, and to help countries develop a greater capacity to deliver basic services to those most in need. Partnership SummaryCisco and UNDP have launched the Academy Program in Africa, Arab States, Asia and the Caribbean. UNDP provides developing countries with advice and technical assistance on information technology, as well as the extra support needed to maintain and expand the Academy Program in LDCs. UNDP is one of Cisco's strategic partners in the LDC Initiative. Launched in July 2000, the partnership aims to help train students in the LDCs for jobs in the Internet economy by establishing the Cisco Networking Academy Program in 40 of the world's 49 LDCs. The project is being implemented with several different UNDP departments. For more information on:
