| Title: United Nations Development Program: A Case Study Of North Korea |
| Date: 1/24/08 |
| Time (EST): 10:00 AM |
| Place: Dirksen Senate Office Building, Rm. 342 |
| The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations has scheduled a hearing, "United Nations Development Program: A Case Study Of North Korea," for Thursday, January 24, 2008, at 10 a.m., in Room 342 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. (This hearing was previously scheduled for December 13, 2007.)
In early 2007, reports surfaced of significant management failures in the operations of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in North Korea. Several months later, the UNDP took the unprecedented step of suspending its North Korean operations. The Subcommittee’s January 24th hearing will examine UNDP operations in North Korea, reviewing such issues as inappropriate staffing, inadequate administrative and fiscal controls, inaccessible audits and insufficient whistleblower safeguards.
Witnesses for the upcoming hearing will include representatives of the Department of State and the Government Accountability Office. The Subcommittee will also receive a public briefing from representatives of the United Nations. A final witness list will be available Tuesday, January 22, 2008.
