UNDP
Launches 2009 Annual Report
The The burgeoning financial crisis
that came to a dramatic head in September
2008 after more than a year of volatile
food, energy and commodity prices compounded
a series of shocks already being felt
around the world. As daily headlines
chart the ups and downs of stock prices
and chronicle the failures of financial
institutions and industrial giants,
the international community must take
a step back and examine what is at stake
for the hundreds of millions in developing
countries who had benefited from the
strong growth of the past decade, as
well as those who continued to struggle
even during that period of global economic
expansion, mired in abject poverty.

Regional
Experts Meeting on Promoting the Rule
of Law and Human Security in Eastern
Africa
This exercise is jointly organized
by the Government of Kenya and the United Nations
Office on Drugs and Crime, headquartered in Vienna,

Nations Agencies, specialized agencies, regional

Delivering as One UN". .. Read
