 As a UN family member, the UPU is committed to achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. It helps reduce poverty through the postal network and ensures posts are equipped to provide an essential national infrastructure, addresses. An address allows each person to participate in the economy, access essential services and benefit from e-commerce. Proper addressing improves a country's socio-economic development by giving the impoverished access to the resources they need to lift themselves out of poverty.
