Evaluation Of Human Security: United Nations Development Programme Support To Conflict-Affected Countries

Evaluation Of Human Security: United Nations Development Programme Support To Conflict-Affected Countries

133 pages; PDF.

Nearly 33 million people around the world were rendered homeless last year due to violent conflicts. The many agencies of the UN system are actively engaged in supporting these communities to reclaim the right to live with dignity and security. Crisis prevention and recovery is a core practice area for UNDP, with activities in conflict-affected countries constituting nearly 40 percent of global expenditure in 2005. Given the significance of this work, the UNDP Executive Board requested the Evaluation Office to conduct an independent evaluation of UNDP assistance to conflict affected countries.
