Effective and inclusive governance within the Asia-Pacific region enhances productivity and economic growth and tends to improve human development. 9 Conversely, poor governance, including corruption, undermines human and economic development. Within the Asia-Pacific
region, governance has shown little sign of improvement over the last decade. UNDP’s work to enhance citizen voice and accountability ranges from electoral support to women’s empowerment to anti-corruption. In 2013, UNDP in Asia-Pacific delivered US$130 million worth of projects and programmes in this area across 20 Country Offices. Some outcome-level
achievements witnessed, attributable in part to UNDP’s support, include the greater proportion of eligible voters turning out in national and local elections, as well as
election commissions strengthening their capacities to administer fair and transparent elections.
