UNDP's Retaliator-in-Chief arrives in Washington DC to kiss GOP's ass not to cut its 2012 budget

Just arrived in Washington to meet with U.S. officials and members of Congress.

Has just landed in Washington DC to basically kiss and "make-up" with GOP (Republican) majority in the House of Representatives and plea with them not to cut US contribution to UNDP for 2012.

Apparently Uncle Helen has chosen a very bad day to get to Washington - this morning GOP presented a 6 Trillion $$ austerity measures to balance public deficits.

No one knows what will Helen Clark offer US GOP leaders as proof of good faith or achievements in past recommendations. Sources close to 21st floor (DC1) say that Helen Clark was pressured from Susan Rice at USUN to go to Washington and "smooth things" as well as try to change GOP's view of UNDP in lieu of Susan Rice's Open Hearing on "UN Reforms" in front of Foreign Affairs Committee this coming Thursday 7th of April 2011.

Will see...we are reporting LIVE from Washington D.C.

Andrew Mitchell - says Helen Clark is up to no good!

1. UNDP’s partnership with the World Bank needs to be more effective, particularly in fragile and crisis-affected countries. 2. UNDP’s near universal mandate means its technical resources are spread very thinly. The Board does not provide strategic direction. HR management is weak. It has a weak results chain. 3. There is limited evidence of active senior management consideration of cost control. Country evidence points to mixed progress on demonstrating cost-efficiency. 4. The Executive Board is politicised and there is a lack of consensus on the key areas for reform. It is not clear that current plans for change will deliver the required depth and breadth of reform. 5. Evidence gathered at country level was highly critical of UNDP’s ability to deliver results. Its delivery can be undermined by staffing issues and bureaucratic processes. 6. Its performance in fragile states is mixed. It has reasonable training and a range of guidance and analytical tools but struggles to fill posts. 7. There is no evidence that the Climate Strategy was directly guiding resource allocation decisions

"I take the accusations made in the media concerning corruption and breach of fiduciary duty at the Global Fund very seriously and I am sure that the Fund will clarify the matter without delay. Germany is one of the biggest donors to the Global Fund. I have therefore seen to it that a special review will be held. I have frozen all further disbursements to the Fund until matters have been fully clarified, and I will ask a representative of the Fund to come to the BMZ to discuss the matter."
