About UNDP
As the United Nations lead agency on international development, UNDP works in 170 countries and territories to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality. We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, institutional capabilities, and to build resilience to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Our work is concentrated in three focus areas; sustainable development, democratic governance and peace building, and climate and disaster resilience.Activities by UNDP
AI Job Description Generator
Global United States
Under the AI Sprint, BMS/Information Technology Management (ITM) and the BMS/Office of Human Resources (OHR) have partnered to develop the Job Description (JD) Generator, an AI-powered tool designed to help colleagues draft high‑quality JDs faster, more consistently, and in full alignment with UNDP standards.
This initiative directly supports the People for 2030 Strategy by leveraging artificial intelligence to streamline HR processes, enhance decision‑making, and improve workforce planning. It represents a practical application of AI to address everyday operational pain points while advancing UNDP’s transition toward a more digital, agile, and data‑driven HR function.
UNDP Chat
Global Not Applicable
UNDP Chat is a secure, general-purpose, generative artificial intelligence platform purpose-built for UNDP personnel. The platform provides curated and cutting-edge large language models (LLMs), document intelligence models, image models, and knowledge resources.
Users can access both closed-source and open-source models on the platform. All data shared in UNDP Chat, including conversation messages and shared files, is securely stored on UNDP’s Azure Infrastructure, protecting users from leaking sensitive data to external providers. Finally, users can access all the abilities of the platform to build a customized experience on external sites.
AI Landscape Assessment

The AI Landscape Assessment provides a 360-degree assessment of national AI readiness across the AI ecosystem, AI for government, and AI regulation and ethics, combining data analysis with multi-stakeholder consultation and co-creation. Since its launch in 2023, the AI Landscape Assessment has been implemented in over 30 countries, supporting governments to identify priority areas, align stakeholders, and translate insights into actionable pathways, and initiatives. Rather than producing standalone analysis, the AI Landscape Assessment generates a shared evidence base, and a forward-looking agenda that helps countries advance responsible, inclusive, and context-specific AI adoption.

Global Not ApplicableThis project uses the UN LinkedSDGs API to analyze UNDP projects and map them against SDG concepts and indicators. The API employs natural language processing (NLP) techniques to identify key concepts based on UNBIS and EuroVoc thesauruses and their association with specific SDGs. For each project, we extract the top 5 key concepts and the top 3 SDG goals most closely related to these concepts. Then we integrate the extracted concepts and related SDG goals into UNDP's project portfolio dashboard, which allows for easy categorization and filtering of projects based on their alignment with specific SDGs and concepts.
