@UNDP the old mafia is quite strong, the likes of Darshak, Bruce Jenks and Gettu are still the ones who direct everything. They've been successful to isolate Clark and Simpson from the day-2-day mngmnt.

With arrival of frmr UNEP PR Chief @UNDP, the old mafia will properly shape the message without need of Clark.; Tuesday, January 03, 2012

What can one expect from an Ethiopian who is a close friend of the Ethiopian Prime Minister and who looks the other way when Ethiopian Govt. is getting increasingly repressive?! Same management style in UNDP too... leopards never change their spots!; Wednesday, January 04, 2012

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."
