Effectiveness and Reform of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
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.

The United Nations Development Programme
The United Nations Development Programme is the central network co-ordinating the work of the United Nations in over 160 developing countries. This 2006 book provides the first authoritative and accessible history of the Programme and its predecessors. Based on the findings of hundreds of interviews and archives in more than two dozen countries, Craig Murphy traces the history of the UNDP's organizational structure and mission, its relationship to the multilateral financial institutions, and the development of its doctrines. He argues that the principles on which the UNDP was founded remain as relevant in a world divided by terrorism as they were in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, as are the fundamental problems that have plagued the Programme from its origin, including the opposition of traditionally isolationist forces in the industrialized world.
Evaluation of the UNDP Strategic Plan and Global and Regional Programmes
IEO and UNDP carried out an Evaluation of the UNDP Strategic Plan, Global Programme, and Regional Programmes (2014-17) with the purpose of strengthening UNDP accountability to global and national development partners, supporting the development of the next Strategic Plan, and supporting organizational learning. The evaluation was designed to inform both internal and external stakeholders of how UNDP is addressing development challenges. The evaluation assessed the outcomes of the Strategic Plan, and the implementation of global, regional and country-level programming, to ascertain whether UNDP is making progress in achieving its stated goals, and whether the Strategic Plan, Global Programme, and Regional Programmes are serving as effective tools for organizing and guiding UNDP programming and activities.
United Nations Development Aid
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.
Assessment of Development Results - Montenegro
In Montenegro, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) focused on the republic’s continuing reform efforts. This assessment of Development Results (ADP) reviews the last five years of UNDP’s support to Montenegro, from 2001-2005, within the context of its relationship with Serbia and its current and future development challenges. The assessment is based on an evaluation of current and past programmes and extensive stakeholder consultations. It provides an analysis of the extent to which UNDP has positioned itself effectively to identify and respond to national development needs. It also offers an overall assessment of the development results in the areas of post-conflict transition achieved in cooperation with the Government and other development partners.
