UN’s $5.7B anti-poverty agency doesn’t do much to reduce poverty, according to its own assessment

Bottom line: after spending more than $8.5 billion on anti-poverty activities between 2004 and 2011—and just how much more is something of a mystery-- UNDP has only “limited ability…to demonstrate whether its poverty reduction activities have contributed to any significant change in the lives of the people it is trying to help.”


Among other things, the document casts significant doubt on the extent to which UNDP is actually living up to its declared identity as “the United Nations anti-poverty organization—a world partnership against poverty,” a claim the report says was made by UNDP’s then-chief—James Gustave Speth—in 1995.


Moreover, it lays a significant part of the blame for that failing on the way that UNDP has spread itself across a growing range of activities in the name of promoting “development” –from environmental projects to trade promotion and border management—that “dilute” its anti-poverty effort.


In other words, an extensive form of mission creep.





UN stands for Useless Nations

Not completely. When LibTards whine about not letting Iran or some other shit bag have nukes I just point to their beloved UN that says that they can't. Suddenly the LibTard has nothing else to say. :laugh:
