Issues that require particular attention are the mandate for UNDP and the resources placed at its disposal. The resources available to the World Bank for post-conflict measures far exceed those of the UN system, making the Bank s participation in coordinated measures of great importance. Norway will take active steps to involve the World Bank closely in the UN's peace-building initiatives. The TfP programme enables us, in cooperation with our partners, to build up competence in southern Africa with regard to the UN's work for peace. For this purpose the programme will, however, need increased funding.
Specific initiatives are at the planning stage.
