Why is it important?
The UN has a global forum for listening to, and addressing crucial problems that cross national borders. Its work has the advantage of being translatable, as a matter of course into the primary languages of world discourse. The United Nations Development Programme has done pioneering work since the 1990s in helping coordinate broad agency efforts in human development. This chapter outlines what these are, and what needs to be done to carry them forward.
