UN Development Program Report 2008 on “Capacity Development: Empowering People and Institutions” UNDP’s recently published 2008 annual report gives a particular emphasis on capacity development as a means for strengthening and maintaining individuals’, organizations’ and societies’ capabilities and to set and achieve their own development objectives and says “if human development is the what of the UNDP mandate, capacity development is the how”. The report provides a brief summary of how UNDP has expanded its range of partnerships especially with the private sector and how it has managed to strengthen national implementation capacities in the management of programmes, projects, procurement and human resources and UNDP’s role in the UN development system. The report sets off by evaluating the progress achieved in the Millennium Development Goals for various countries in 2007 and the challenges developed and developing countries faced such as the financial sector-induced economic slowdown in the second half of 2007 and the threats that climate change poses. |
