Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Nations (U.N.) Office for Project Services (UNOPS) provides numerous services for its clients, including procurement and project management. Recent audits and investigations of UNOPS have revealed alleged violations of law, weak internal controls, and financial mismanagement. UNOPS officials misused some of the more than $400 million awarded to UNOPS by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) from 2004 through 2008. This report: (1) assessed the extent to which UNOPS has addressed key concerns about its internal controls; and (2) evaluated USAID's oversight of UNOPS-implemented projects. To address these objectives, the report reviewed UNOPS and USAID policies and grant documentation. Illus.

Download or read book The United Nations System written by Chadwick F. Alger Professor Emeritus and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-11-21 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the beginnings of the Cold War to efforts to control Saddam Hussein's weapons program, this indispensable guide to the history and workings of the UN system shows how this widely misunderstood organization has helped to make the world a safer place and what its future prospects are likely to be. Rising from the ashes of World War II, the UN's birth was announced on October 24, 1945. Its military arm began in 1948 with the deployment of just 36 soldiers, tasked with supervising a fragile cease-fire in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Since then it has undertaken more than 50 peacekeeping missions and concluded 500 multilateral conventions on human rights, arms control, environment, terrorism, and many other subjects. The United Nations System examines the continuing controversy that surrounds this organization. Whereas conservatives accuse the UN of wavering in the face of gross violations of its own resolutions by Saddam Hussein, many liberals have lambasted it for failing to take decisive action against genocide in the Balkans and in Rwanda. Highly readable and packed with useful facts and illustrations, this book is essential reading for those who wish to make up their own minds.
Download or read book Report of Investigation written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USAID Agreement No. 306-A-00-03-00509-00, Quick Impact Projects (QIP), a $25.6 million cooperative agreement to build small-scale infrastructure projects throughout Afghanistan, was signed on 9/30/03 and ended on 12l3l/06. Pursuant to this agreement, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) subcontracted 100% of these projects to the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS). UNOPS then subcontracted the projects to local contractors. On 8/1/07, an anonymous complainant contacted the Regional Inspector General, Investigations (RIOII), Manila office to convey allegations of abuse by the UN. Allegations provided included: 1) In spite of being told in writing that UNDP could only bill "nominal" close out costs after 12/31/06, UNOPS claimed to expend $1.7 million in 2007. UNDP inexplicably drew $5.1 million from its USAID letter of credit (LOC) in 5/07 and then another $1.9 million. 2) UNDP and UNOPS staff are unwilling to meet with USAID to explain the draw downs. 3) Projects worked by UNOPS were not completed as claimed and others have defects and warranty issues that UNDP refuses to address. There are numerous design errors, neglected repairs and uninstalled equipment and materials - all of which was billed as complete. Some incomplete work includes life-threatening oversights on a bridge and several buildings. Building parts are missing from some sites. The investigation largely substantiated these allegations.
Download or read book Perspectives on Corporate Citizenship written by Jörg Andriof and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of disparate but interconnected forces such as deregulation and globalization, rapid advances in communications technology and the rise in the power of the consumer and civil society have now combined to bring corporate responsibility to prominence in many corporate boardrooms. In this information age, the ramifications of not addressing best practice in environment, workplace, marketplace and community could range from bad press coverage to complete market exclusion. These are perilous times for the social construct of modern capitalism.In today's society successful companies will increasingly be those that recognize that they have responsibilities to a range of stakeholders that go beyond compliance with the law. If in the past the focus was on enhancing shareholder value, now it is on engaging stakeholders for long-term value creation. This does not mean that shareholders are not important, or that profitability is not vital to business success, but that in order to survive and be profitable a company must engage with a range of stakeholders whose views may vary greatly. If in the past corporate social responsibility was simply seen as profitability plus compliance plus philanthropy, now responsible corporate citizenship means companies being more aware of and understanding the societies in which they operate. This means senior executives and managers being able to deal with a wide range of issues including greater accountability, human rights abuses, sustainability strategies, corporate governance codes, workplace ethics, stakeholder consultation and management.The aim and scope of Perspectives on Corporate Citizenship is to help capture and distil these and other emerging trends in terms of content, context and processes, in one concise volume. With contributions from the *crème de la crème* of leading thinkers from around the world, Perspectives on Corporate Citizenship is essential reading for students, scholars and all serious thinkers on one of the most critical issues of our time.
Download or read book Socio Economic Impacts of Landmines in Southern Kurdistan written by Almas Heshmati and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-19 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kurdistan Region of Iraq has been massively contaminated by landmines and unexploded ordnance. This will continue to be a major obstacle for development and economic growth, particularly in the rural border communities. The mines were used systematically by the central Baathist government in its efforts to de-populate the Kurdistan Region and to weaken the Kurds’ demands for regional self-determination. This work investigates the magnitude of the landmine problem in the region, and the landmine action activities undertaken to rehabilitate, reconstruct, and develop the region. In addition to that, this work emphasizes the social, health, educational and economic impacts of landmines, as well as the legal consequences. In order to achieve the abovementioned objectives, this work is divided into fifteen chapters. After providing an introduction and background to the landmine problem, the authors discuss the scope of the problem, both in the Kurdistan Region and internationally. The methods of dealing with mines and their consequences are reviewed. The issues of landmine action, impact surveys, factors influencing the survey process, and mine actions activities are also discussed. A comprehensive review of the outcome of the problem of landmines in the Kurdistan Region has been conducted. The nature and characteristics of the problems faced by Kurds are discussed in more detailed form by looking at case studies. Here the economic, social, and health impacts of landmines in the region are assessed. The issues of the human, security, and political impacts of landmines are further addressed, followed by an assessment of mine action resources and its progress, education, and various preventive measures. Finally, a number of policy recommendations are provided to prevent the use of mines in the future, and to take legal action against landmine users for clearance, rehabilitation, and compensation issues.
