About Asia and the Pacific | UNDP

Asia and the Pacific has more than half of the world’s population, including nearly 900 million of the world’s poor, and 30 percent of the global land mass.

 

The region’s unparalleled economic performance overall in the past decade has resulted in dramatically decreased levels in poverty. Already, the region has reached the Millennium Development Goal of halving poverty by 2015.
