| United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) |
The current UNDAF covers UN programme results for the the period 2010-2014. The UNDAF is the result of a collaborative effort of the UN Country Team, outlining the development results to be supported by the UN "Country Team" (the resident UN agencies in Lebanon, see more at the UN Resident Coordinator's site here). The UNDAF is undertaken in cooperation with government and other national counterparts along with several donor partners to ensure that it is realistically aligned with national priorities and partner objectives.

| Strategic Plan for UNDP 2008-2011 |
UNDP's goals are described in the "trategic Plan for UNDP 2008-2011, Accelerating Global Progress on Human Development", as endorsed by the Member States of UNDP's Executive Board in 2007. Strategic Plan is centred on helping developing countries achieve the Internationally Agreed Development Goals including Millennium Development Goals. As such, these goals provide the overall context for the development results framework. The framework outlines the main areas of programmatic work for UNDP over the 2008-11 period. The purpose of the framework is to provide guidance to, and promote greater focusing of development programmes and projects at the country level. The framework is fully grounded in the principle of national ownership: countries choose the development outcomes that best reflect and respond to national development priorities. The focus areas, key result areas and outcomes reflect the kinds of development changes UNDP is best equipped to support, while the indicators capture UNDP’s contribution to these outcomes.

| Country Programme Action Plan (CPAP) |
UNDP Lebanon currently operates on the basis of the Country Programme Action Plan for 2010-2014, which was approved by the Government of Lebanon in December of 2009. The accompanying Results and Resources Framework outlines nine outcomes that are to be achieved within this period, relating to democratic governance, energy & environment, poverty alleviation, and building a civil peace.
The CPAP is a live document that evolves with programming needs as they arise, and thus may not directly reflect the CPD, this latter primarily setting the legal basis for UNDP’s activities in Lebanon.
