Inclusive GlobalizationThe past few decades have represented a period of accelerating
economic and financial globalization for many people around the world,
with direct implications and impacts for many of the poorest and most
vulnerable. Events such as the Asian financial crisis, the recognition
of the need for an enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative
and the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI), the failed WTO Ministerial
Meetings in Seattle and Cancun, and most recently the "indefinite suspension"
of the Doha Round in Geneva (July 2006) have brought human development
concerns into sharp focus.
UNDP is committed to inclusive globalization centered on human development concerns. In addition to advocacy efforts, UNDP focuses on policy advisory services and capacity development - helping to ensure that both national trade policy and bilateral, regional and global trade negotiations and development finance, debt and capital flows policies address human development concerns. • Trade |
