UNDP established the Oslo Governance Centre in Oslo, Norway in 2002 as part of its global policy network for democratic governance, at a time when it had become clearer than ever that the fundamental issues of democratic governance are critical for meeting the Millennium Development Goals.

As a global UNDP thematic facility, the objective of the Centre is to facilitate knowledge sharing and networking on democratic governance as well as to provide policy guidance and technical support to the more than 130 UNDP Country Offices around the world. The Centre has a special focus in addressing new and emerging areas of democratic governance and in building the capacity of UNDP’s front-line staff to address these new challenges.
