III.A: Values for Development
Support the realization of the United National values for development around the world Other Information:
22. The Millennium Declaration highlights six fundamental values necessary for sustainable human development: equality, solidarity,
freedom, shared responsibility, tolerance and respect for nature. UNDP is committed to supporting the realization of those
values around the world, and has designed both its coordination and programmatic work for 2008-2011 to reflect that commitment.
23. There are certain basic prerequisites for a human development approach to be effective. This must be brought together
with the fact that development solutions must reflect and be adapted to local circumstances and local aspirations. To do this
in any meaningful way, it is essential to have national leadership and ownership of development interventions. Both the programmatic
and coordination roles of UNDP should be demand-driven, and guided by national ownership and impartiality. At the country
level, its approach to development issues is one of support to capacity development, not of political conditionality.
