Manage for results: accountability, risk and resources

Other Information:

118. UNDP experienced strong growth from 2003-2006, with aggregate income levels increasing from $3.4 billion in 2003 to $5.1 billion in 2006. Most significantly this occurred in direct donor and multilateral contributions, in the form of other resources earmarked for themes, countries and/or specific projects. Within the overall growth, UNDP role in early recovery and its service provision to the United Nations agencies, funds and programmes has expanded. Substantial growth is expected to continue in these areas. With growth comes complexity. The number of funding sources, including trust funds, within UNDP has increased drastically over the last few years. UNDP has also been entrusted with resources to administer on behalf of the United Nations system. Though these are not considered direct contributions to UNDP, and thus are not counted as income, attention to ensuring the necessary organizational capacity for these administrative responsibilities is important.
