The Real
Cure For Poverty Is Growth
By Dr Muriel Newman
Last week former Prime Minister Helen Clark was
subjected to a scathing review of the United Nations
Development Programme that she has run since 2009.[1] The
evaluation was carried out by her own executive board and
covered the last two years of operation. It paints a picture
of a confused organisation that is failing to achieve its
goal of global poverty reduction despite spending more than
US$8.5 billion between 2004 and 2011. The report was
essentially a performance review of Helen Clark. It warned
that the UNDP had underachieved in a wide range of areas
including failing to properly evaluate the success of its
poverty reduction initiatives, failing to share good ideas
between its 162 country offices, and failing to ensure that
worthwhile pilot programmes were expanded to maximise their
benefits.

**Good on you, UNDPwatch!**
I am from New Zealand, and I apologise for our country foisting the USELESS, corrupt and scheming Helen Clark onto the world.
What a "surprise" it was to see that the UNDP is as useless as "tits on a bull" (as we would say down here...).
