A global movement for inclusive prosperity.
Founded on the belief that opportunity should reach everyone, UNEP partners with communities, governments and institutions to unlock human potential.
Mission
Build resilient economies through funding access, skills development and grassroots entrepreneurship.
Vision
A world where every person has the means and opportunity to build a sustainable livelihood.
Values
Inclusion, transparency, sustainability, partnership and impact at every level of our work.
Two decades of inclusive development.
Since our founding, UNEP has championed a community-first approach to economic empowerment. We measure success in lives changed — in small businesses launched, in skills earned, and in families lifted out of poverty.
Operating across 50+ countries, we bring together public and private capital, technical expertise and local knowledge to design programmes that work where it matters most.
