A sound pipeline portfolio is likely to include projects of different maturity, ranging from initial ideas to interventions with secured funding and implementation capacity ready to be launched. Having a clearer idea of the maturity of its pipeline allows better-informed decisions about investment areas which have a higher return potential in terms of development impact.
“Pipeline” refers to the totality of planned projects, programmes, and initiatives that UNDP is expected to pursue within a foreseeable time in the future.
