Poverty Reduction
Through the Millennium Development Goals, the world is addressing the many dimensions of human development, including the halving by 2015 of the proportion of people living in extreme poverty. Developing countries are working to create their own national poverty eradication strategies based on local needs and priorities. UNDP advocates for these nationally-owned solutions and helps ensure their effectiveness. UNDP promotes the concept of human poverty as a complement to income poverty, emphasizing that equity, social inclusion, women's empowerment, and respect for human rights matter for poverty reduction.

Democratic Governance
More countries than ever before are working to build democratic governance. Their challenge is to develop institutions and processes that are more responsive to the needs of ordinary citizens, including the poor. UNDP brings people together within nations and around the world, building partnerships and sharing ways to promote participation, accountability and effectiveness at all levels.

Crises Prevention and Recovery
Crises – both man-made and natural – have a destabilizing effect on the societies in which they occur. Unless crises are effectively managed they can have direct immediate consequences as well as long-term ramifications that may adversely affect development, enhance inequalities, bring about political instability and impact human security. That is the reason why The Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery (BCPR) is one of nine major bureaus within the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
Crises Prevention and Recovery in Bosnia and Herzegovina is mainstreamed trough the CO Human Security and Justice Cluster activities mainly focused on reduction of the threats posed by natural disasters, landmines, small arms and light weapons and issues of migration.

Energy and Environment
Energy and environment are essential components of sustainable development and progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Financially disadvantaged persons may be disproportionately affected by environmental degradation and may suffer from, amongst others, inadequate access to clean affordable energy services. Climate change, biodiversity degradation and ozone layer depletion are transnational issues, and consequently, they cannot be addressed by countries acting alone. UNDP assists countries to strengthen their capacity to address these challenges at a global, national and local level, seeking out and sharing best practices, providing innovative policy advice and linking partners through pilot projects, thus helping build more sustainable communities.
Energy and environment in Bosnia and Herzegovina is mainstreamed trough the Country Office Energy and Environment Cluster activities mainly focused on strengthening of environmental management mechanisms and supporting the development of capacities at the local level for natural resource management and sustainable development.

HIV/AIDS
To prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and reduce its impact, developing countries need to mobilize all levels of government and civil society. As a trusted development partner, UNDP advocates for placing HIV/AIDS at the centre of national planning and budgets; helps build national capacity to manage initiatives that include people and institutions not usually involved with public health; and promotes decentralized responses that support community-level action. Because HIV/AIDS is a world-wide problem, UNDP supports these national efforts by offering knowledge, resources and best practices from around the world.
