In 2000, at the United Nations Millennium Summit, world leaders
agreed to the Millennium Declaration. The Declaration included
development targets to be reached by 2015, which were to become
known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Progress has been
made towards the achievement of the MDGs, but poverty remains
widespread. With the terminal year approaching, the international
community has begun the process of determining the goals which
might follow the MDGs. While the UN is driving the process, there
has been very little introspection on its own organizational
capacity to help countries to meet the goals and is being
increasingly sidelined by other more effective development
organizations and initiatives. Based on extensive original research
that has critically examined the role and functions of the
organizations of the UN development system, this book seeks to
capture in a single volume a comprehensive review of the UN's
performance and prospects for development. The contributors each
offer extensive experience and familiarity-as practitioners and
researchers-with the UN and development; and the book will
contribute to the urgently needed debate on the reform of the UN
development system at a critical juncture. The main rationale for
this book, and its timing, is the unusual opportunity provided by
the 2015 threshold to re-think the UN development system and to
empower it to support a new development agenda and will be of
interest to students, scholars of International Organizations and
development studies.
