The United Nations Development Programme, the UN’s global development network, has issued a request for proposal for a communications agency that can provide external support for the UNDP’s HIV, Health and Development team.
The UNDP, which provides advice, training, and support to developing countries with a focus on poverty reduction, HIV/AIDS, social development and energy and environment, is available in more than 170 countries and territories.
