Funding for United Nations Development Cooperation

Challenges and Options

Book Description:  This book analyses the mobilization of resources to finance the operational activities of the United Nations system for development in the context of the current challenges that the international community and the developing countries face to achieve the objectives of the development agenda of the new millennium. The book explores the various options to enhance funding of the development cooperation activities of the organizations of the United Nations system.

The analysis highlights the need for a strong commitment to mobilize and stabilize the flow of a "critical mass" of resources to enable the system effectively to play its supportive role at the country level, helping developing countries in translating internationally agreed global objectives into their own national development strategies.
