Book Synopsis Reforming for Results in the UN System by : Dennis Dijkzeul
Download or read book Reforming for Results in the UN System written by Dennis Dijkzeul and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2000 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Criticism of UN organizations is widespread, yet it is often based on inadequate knowledge of their functioning. This book addresses this void by examining the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), the only UN organization that is exclusively demand-based. UNOPS generates its income through fees for project management/ provision of services in all development and humanitarian fields. UNOPS almost went out of business during a disruptive merger process. With considerable staff initiative, it engaged in a reform process and has repeatedly surpassed its business targets. This book describes and analyses the reform, its problems and its successes. It indicates how UN organizations can become more effective in their operational activities. It compares UNOPS reform with New Public Management reform and provides an illuminating example of an actual change process - too often absent in New Public Management literature. The book is required reading for everyone who has an interest in the UN system, organizational change, and improving development cooperation and humanitarian relief.
Book Synopsis Reforming the United Nations by : Joachim Müller
Download or read book Reforming the United Nations written by Joachim Müller and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the limits of UN system reform? Recent efforts in governance and institutional reform demonstrate that the hurdles are tremendous. The never-ending Security Council reform resulted in disappointment for hopeful governments. The system-wide coherence initiatives covering environment, gender, and ‘Delivering as One’ at country level provide a sobering picture. Inter-agency coordination on climate change, food security, and the global financial crisis did not result in joint programmes. Instead, new entities have diminished the role of the UN which operates on the OECD principles of ‘aid effectiveness.’ Consolidation and merging of UN mandates and structures appear to be a precondition for coherent and efficient action: A conclusion which dominates this edition of the publication series on ‘Reforming the United Nations’.
Book Synopsis Reforming the United Nations by : Joachim Müller
Download or read book Reforming the United Nations written by Joachim Müller and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 968 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The context in which the United Nations operates is one of change and reorientation: change in the political climate, resulting in changes in the tasks the organisation is called upon to undertake; reorientation of the organisation's internal structures and procedures in response to these changes. The principal goals and objectives of the United Nations have recently been reassessed. This reassessment - highlighted in the Reform Agenda of Secretary-General Kofi Annan and during the Millennium Summit - has led to a reaffirmation by the 189 Member States of their belief in the organisation. New forms of consensus and co-operation are developing regarding what the United Nations should be striving to achieve and how best it should be organised to improve its operations. The UN and Kofi Annan "were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their role in reforming the 56-year-old institution ..." (Herald Tribune, Honor Awarded to Annan and UN, October 13-14, 2001, p. 1). The Quiet Revolution is essentially about the reform efforts of Kofi Annan. The book therefore describes a major part of his activities leading to the award. `Dr. Joachim Müller presents a detailed review of the reform initiatives undertaken during the period from 1996 to 2000, which was of such importance for the evolution of the United Nations. A wealth of information from primary sources is provided, together with an informative analysis of the history of reform within the United Nations since its creation.' From the foreword by Jean-Pierre Halbwachs, Assistant Secretary-General, Controller, United Nations Also by Joachim Müller: Reforming the United Nations: New Initiatives and Past Efforts, a three-volume set containing 50 key reform proposals originating inside and outside the United Nations.
Book Synopsis Reforming the Un System:UNIDOs Need Driven Model by : Carlos Magarianos
Download or read book Reforming the Un System:UNIDOs Need Driven Model written by Carlos Magarianos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-08-23 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses the rationale for and against multilateral development cooperation, with particular attention to international industrial development during the post-cold war era. It also documents how UNIDO has successfully transformed itself to contribute effectively to the global supply of international public goods within the purview of its mandate. A foreword by U.K. Secretary Clare Short illustrates the good reception that such transformation has elicited amongst the donor community as well as its demonstration and potential spillover effects on the whole of the UN system. The book, which contains testimonies of ambassadors of UNIDO's stakeholder countries as well as contributions by Messrs. J. D.-Martinussen, former Head of the Danish Mission for UNIDO's assessment, and R. Ricupero, Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference for Trade and Development (UNCTAD), can be expected to become an indispensable reference material for students of UN affairs and the international relations and development policy communities at large.
