Partnership Development 

Due to its multi-faceted mandate, UNODC seeks to expand its partnerships with a wide array of development organizations and donor agencies. While the focus and nature of each partner relationship is specific, the overall aim of UNODC is to strengthen its partnership at both policy and operational levels so as to leverage its know-how, resources and operational capacity. Among the recent developments are the cooperation agreements with the European Commission and consultations with various international financial institutions, namely the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID), and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
