Mission and objectives
UNDP’s Regional Service Centre for Africa (RSCA) is one of five UNDP Regional Service Centres in the world, developing high-quality knowledge and policy for UNDP in Africa. Situated in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, it acts as the organization’s main interface with regional and continental bodies such as the African Union and Regional Economic Communities and serves 46 Country Offices in sub-Saharan Africa. To better meet the needs of the 46 countries in the region, and strengthen collaboration with regional bodies, the RSCA is sub-regionally and thematically divided into three sub-regional hubs; sub-regional hub for West Africa, Resilience Hub and Africa Sustainable Finance Hub.
The Centre also implements a continent-wide Regional Programme supporting Africa’s transformation agenda by:
- enhancing inclusive and sustainable growth,
- widening political participation and giving everyone a voice,
- and developing responsive institutions which deliver desired services and promote inclusive processes of state-society dialogue. The work builds on UNDP’s expertise in development thinking and practice and decades of experience working at the country and global level. Other areas of work led by the Centre on a regional and continent-wide basis include preparation for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), improving countries’ public finance management, mitigating the impact of HIV and AIDS, building capacity for disaster risk management and climate change mitigation and adaptation, enabling access to sustainable energy and sustainable use of natural resources, promoting gender equality and empowerment, and enhancing food security in the Sahel. The Centre also provides support to countries on aid and development effectiveness, South-South Cooperation.
