The United Nations Development Programme is the leading agency for ensuring the implementation of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
MDGs are eight goals to be achieved by 2015 that respond to the world's main development challenges. The MDGs are drawn from the actions and targets contained in the Millennium Declaration that was adopted by 189 nations-and signed by 147 heads of state and governments during the UN Millennium Summit in September 2000. These goals are:
Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women Goal 4: Reduce child mortality Goal 5: Improve maternal health Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability Goal 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development
When arrived in office in January 2007, Ban Ki-moon the current UN's Secretary General said that: "The MDGs are still achievable if we act now. This will require inclusive sound governance, increased public investment, economic growth, enhanced productive capacity, and the creation of decent work."
UNDP's role in MDGs was to work with a wide range of partners help create coalitions for change supporting the goals at global, regional and national levels, to benchmark progress towards them, and to help countries to build the institutional capacity, policies and programmes needed to achieve the MDGs.
Guided by the UN Core Strategy, UNDP's work on the MDGs focuses on coordinating global and local efforts that:
Campaign and mobilise for the MDGs through advocacy;
Share the best strategies for meeting the MDGs in terms of innovative practices, policy and institutional reforms, means of policy implementation, and evaluation of financing options;
Monitor and report progress towards the MDGs; and
Support governments in tailoring the MDGs to local circumstances and challenges.
But let's cut the crap and lies of UNDP's auto-publicity and publish today a simple chart of what have UNDP achieved in the past 20 years in fight against poverty. What better than comparing the lists of Least Developed Countries (LDC) and see how much have UNDP assistance in the past 20 years helped reduced this list and assit UN Member States to their road to development.
As you will notice United Nations Development Programme instead of reducing the list of LDCs in 1989 which was composed of 41 countries, UNDP instead ruined the lives and put into poverty 9 more countries and increased the list of LDCs to 50 countries.
