A stronger United Nations for development is a must. Without a strong UN development presence around the world, the United Nations would be a very different, less vital and less important organization. A weakening of the UN's development work is a threat to the United Nations itself. National objectives of programme countries and the action plans of the global conferences provide our goals. The Resident Coordinator system provides us with the institution for coordination at the country level.
Voluntary contributions make it all possible.
UNDP intends to do its utmost to make this system work, and , with our partners, to make reforms succeed to make a difference for development and the poor.
