What is the UN Development Program, and why is it important? What are three advantages UN programs have in promoting economic development? What do you think is a major disadvantage of these programs?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Define the UN Development Program.
2. Explain why it is important. For instance, it is a major source of foreign assistance to developing countries.
3. Discuss three advantages. For example, students might argue that the global South tends to perceive the UN as a friend, not as a threat; that UN workers tend to be more sensitive to local conditions; and that the UN can organize its assistance on a global scale.
4. State a major disadvantage. For instance, students might mention that UN development programs are funded largely through voluntary contributions by rich states, who can cut off aid if they are displeased with the program.
5. Offer a concise summary and effective conclusion.
