The Revolution is ON !!

Holding accountable a 6 billion dollars machine is not easy, it requires lots of efforts and lots of staff in order to hold UN's Ban Ki Moon and UNDP's Kemal Dervis accountable. But we are getting there.

Today the UNDP Watch is joining efforts with a reputable ethics and accountability fighter, Mr. Leon Kukkuk and his newest editions:

1. UNDP Operations Watch : http://undpoperationswatch.blogspot.com/
2. UN Management Review : http://unmanagementreview.blogspot.com/

UNDP Watch will continue to focus on exposing all internal UNDP corruption from top-to-bottom. Our Procurement series will continue on daily basis for almost 1400 days. Meanwhile, thanks to our friends at Human Resources, now UNDP Watch will also start a series of Human Resource Watch.

The Human Resource watch will focus on nepotism and irregular appointments at UNDP. We will explain with real evidence how outsiders makes it to enter from the "window at UNDP". We will expose all the "windows" and show you how to make it there. Just be patient.

We will show all National Staffers and Junior Professionals and UNVs around the world, how UNDP management have forgotten about them. We will show how racist the organization is when a National Staff or a UNV dares to apply for an international posts. We will show statistics on how many "outsiders" makes it to enter from the "windows" in positions that instead should be filled with National Staff, JPOs and or UNVs based on rotation policies.

Our ultimate goal is to :

(a) have all DRR positions filled with National Staff;

(b) have all ARR positions filled with National Staff;

(c) by end of January 2008 implement a freeze on external hiring and a clear policy within the UNDP on rotation of National Staff that have served for more than 2 (two) consecutive years at their home-duty-station.

(d) have all those at Headquarters who haven't served any country office duty be rotated by end of March 2008;

(e) have all those who are currently at D1 and above be re-evaluated through a transparent 360 degree evaluation - which gives subordinates to anonymously provide ratings for their supervisors;

To achieve all the above we call upon all UNDP staff ( at HQs and COs) to:

• start download all documents, programmes, projects and operations data you are involved with;
• check among them who are corrupt and who you think shouldn't be there;
• if it's clear corruption send it to UNDP Watch and/or UNDP Operations Watch;
• if it's about management corrupt behaviours and nepotism send it to UN Management Review;

All of us should contribute to make our work environment free of corruption and criminal managers. Therefore please copy as much as you can and bring it out so we can make it public. The tax-payers around the world need to know what UNDP is doing with their money. They need all data be made public now.

Don't be afraid of Kemal Dervis. The only way to win this war and restore credibility to our organization is to fight against these managers who think that the money bestowed on us is theirs and they can treat us and our Departments/Bureaux as their personal kingdoms.
