• To fulfil the aims of the strategic plan with the multi-dimensionality and complexity that the 2030 Agenda demands, UNDP is implementing six cross-cutting approaches to development, known as Signature Solutions. A robust, integrated way to put our best work – or ‘signature’ skillset – into achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

• UNDP’s Signature Solutions are cross-cutting approaches to development— for example, a gender approach or resilience approach can be applied to any area of development, or to any of the SDGs.

• Working together with partners across the UN system and beyond, UNDP is implementing these solutions building on UNDP’s strengths and expertise to help countries reach the SDGs.

Six Signature Solutions:

• Keeping people out of POVERTY

• GOVERNANCE for peaceful, just, and inclusive societies

• Crisis prevention and increased RESILIENCE

• ENVIRONMENT: nature-based solutions for development

• Clean, affordable ENERGY

• Women’s empowerment and GENDER equality
