UNDP finally makes financial data available: fails to disclose details - major discrepancies between the database and UNDP CO website

Anonymous said...: More important, the organization needs to publish the following details - travel and other related expenses. A fellow like Teg Gettu always keeps jet-setting in and out of Africa - is well known. for some reason, Addiis somehow figures in all of his travels on a regular basis, which is his home country. Each and every time, thousands of dollars in business class is spent on him. Among all the ASGs, Teg Gettu is the one who travels the most around the world and there is absolutely no transparency at all. Who is accountable? Where is the money coming from? Who is to question? Who asks and who answers??!!; Thursday, November 24, 2011

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."
