WORKING TOGETHER
The development paradigm is evolving and UNDP, with
its emphasis on sustainable and inclusive development,
has made a major contribution to development theory.
Indeed, Sustainable Human Development with the
Human Development Index (HDI) has constituted an
innovative approach to the development paradigm and
is the precursor of the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) which best reflect it. To this end, development
is a process that requires the strong involvement of all
stakeholders. It is a crucial role that everyone must play
and particularly if you are a leader with UNDP.
It is also a collective process that requires all stakeholders to realize that, the change we want will come from
our collective actions, whatever the nature and scope.
However, the commitment of the leader remains
essential to generate a vision that will have the support of
the majority of actors and partners. n
