**Background**

UNDP multi-country office in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam provides technical assistance, policy and technical advisory services to the Governments of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam in their efforts towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG); in partnership with development partners, financial institutions, private sector and civil society.

In Malaysia, UNDP’s programme priorities and partnerships are defined and operationalized through the Country Programme between Government of Malaysia and UNDP to support and contribute to the development priorities and results envisioned in the 5-year Malaysia Plan. Malaysia is currently implementing the Twelfth Malaysia Plan 2021-2025 (12MP), which is anchored around three key themes namely resetting economy, strengthening security, wellbeing and inclusivity; and advancing sustainability to achieve economic growth and transform Malaysia into a prosperous, inclusive and sustainable country.

Nature, Climate and Energy (NCE) is the biggest programme portfolio for UNDP Malaysia Country Office (CO), where it has a wide range of initiatives and projects from biodiversity and ecosystems, climate change, energy, environmental management, ozone protection, green commodities, natural resource management and waste management. Currently, NCE programme implementation is mainly funded by government finance, Global Environment Facility and other resources. The portfolio remains one of the important programme areas in the Country Programme Document period of 2022 - 2025 with a shift towards diversification of funding and efforts to operationalize new and innovative financial instruments and partnerships.

The Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and UNDP's Green Commodity Programme (GCP) have worked in partnership since 2015. Phases I and II of the partnership were successful in strengthening the Indonesia Sustainable Palm Oil Platform and facilitating the development and initial implementation of the National Action Plan on Sustainable Palm Oil, as well as supporting the formulation and launch of the Coffee National Action Plan in Peru, guided by the multi-stakeholder Peruvian National Coffee Platform. During these phases the UNDP GCP also engaged with regional and global sustainable production initiatives, advocating for improved synergies between global level buyers/traders and producer companies, further refined methodologies and tools for effective multi-stakeholder collaborative action and facilitated portfolio wide learning and knowledge-sharing.

In 2023, SECO and UNDP GCP started the Phase III of the "Effective Collaborative Action for Sustainable Commodity Production and Trade" project. The goal of Phase III is to advance multi-stakeholder collaboration for systemic change. Through it, UNDP will foster the adoption of sustainable production through facilitating effective multi-stakeholder collaborative initiatives in globally important agricultural commodity systems in five countries in order to catalyze a shared vision and multi-stakeholder collaborative action for transforming those systems. Achievement of this objective will be facilitated by UNDP through effective multi-stakeholder collaborative action, addressing the challenges presented by siloed stakeholders, mistrust and diverging agendas. This new phase will build on the work and successes of the prior two phases, and it will continue work in Indonesia (palm oil) and Peru (coffee and cocoa), while also starting new interventions in Ghana (cocoa), Brazil (soy and beef), and Malaysia (palm oil).

In 2015, the state of Sabah in Malaysia launched the Jurisdictional Approach (JA) Initiative to sustainable palm oil production. Under the JA Initiative, the state has committed to sustainable palm oil by ensuring all palm oil production under its jurisdiction meets the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) or Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Jurisdiction Approach to Certification standards by 2025.

Through the SECO project, UNDP will work directly with the JA Secretariat, delivering capacity building and possibly expanding the JA Secretariat team and operation, and facilitating improved collaboration among the existing multi-stak
