UNDP Saudi Arabia helps create equitable and efficient public sector projects through its advisory and technical support to urban/rural development and the public sector performance and efficiency. Under the new CPD Cycle (2017-2021), UNDP continues to support the government to strengthen citizens’ access to high-quality basic services such as water, sanitation, education, quality control of food and drugs and transportation which enhances people’s well-being.
