The report makes the basic point that in spite of the impressive progress humanity has made on many fronts over the decades, it still remains deeply divided.

Book excerpt: The evolution of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is detailed in this simple, coherent, and richly rewarding narrative. Discussing the origins of the program, this book details how the UNDP was established in 1966 and financed by voluntary contributions from its members, and how it is a preeminent, universal, and neutral organization that provides grants aid in the form of technical assistance to developing countries. The intent is to foster institution building, capacity building, sustained human development, and eradication of poverty, especially in low-income and least developed countries. The UNDP’s stellar achievements have been overshadowed by political and other activities at the United Nations, but this book provides the first authentic and comprehensive history of the UNDP based solely on primary official documents.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Nations' development co-operation has often been criticized in the past; many shortcomings can indeed be identified. However, efforts to overcome the existing problems have been stepped up. A key role in the reform of the UN in this area is played by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This study is intended as a constructive contribution to the current debate on the reform of UN development co-operation. It analyses both the main weaknesses of UN development co-operation as a whole and the reforms that have so far been undertaken. On this basis it identifies the areas in which further efforts are needed if the UNDP is to become more effective.

Book excerpt: First in a series of annual reports, this volume is about people and about how development enlarges their choices--access to income, long life, knowledge, political freedom, personal security, community participation, and guaranteed human rights. It measures human development not by the yardstick of income alone, but by the human development index--reflecting life expectancy, literacy and command over resources to enjoy a decent standard of living. The report analyzes the record of human development for the last three decades and the experience of 14 countries in managing economic growth and human development. The volume concludes with human development indicators for more than 130 countries, both developing and developed. ISBN 0-19-306481-X (pbk.): $15.95.

Download or read book Generation Portrait of the United Nations Development Programme written by United Nations Development Programme and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one generation, development progress has transformed the prospects for humankind, and international cooperation has been a catalyst. Technical assistance for developing countries through two predecessor organizations of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) had small beginnings in 1950, and grew to become a multimillion dollar enterprise. This "portrait" shows the evolution of this endeavor over the last 35 years. It looks at how development is changing, and how UNDP is also adapting to new circumstances and needs. Expanding services, a broader resource base, and closer coordination of external assistance are giving UNDP a new look. Also included are four country profiles, illustrating the design, scope, delivery, and national impact of UNDP assistance over the years. These countries are the Dominican Republic, Sri Lanka, Algeria, and Senegal. A complete listing is given of the major components in the participation of over 180 countries and territories (developed and developing) in the program since its inception. The document concludes with an extract from testimony given in May 1985 by a former UNDP/UNESCO international expert to a parliamentary committee in his home country (a major donor to UNDP) about on-the-ground experience in technical cooperation.
