Summary:

The U.N. Development Program (UNDP), established in 1966 by the U.N. General Assembly, coordinates and provides funding for most U.N. development assistance programs. In FY1994, the U.S. contribution of $116 million made the United States the largest donor, comprising about 12 percent of the agency's budget. The Administration supports a strong U.S. role and financial contribution to the UNDP. Some Members of Congress, however, argue that UNDP programs are unfocused and duplicative.
