      "summary": "The U.N. Development Program (UNDP), established in 1966 by the U.N. General Assembly,\ncoordinates and provides funding for most U.N. development assistance programs. In 1996, the U.S.\ncontribution of $52 million (50% lower than the 1995 contribution) reduced the United States from\nthe largest to the seventh largest donor for the first time since the organization was founded. This\nreport discusses UNDP funding, programs, and role in international development activities. It\ndescribes briefly Congress' concerns that UNDP programs lack focus. Congress is also concerned\nabout the growing role of UNDP in areas such as humanitarian assistance, perhaps to the detriment\nof development. The report also discusses the UNDP reform effort under the American\nAdministrator. The report has not been updated since the beginning of the 105th Congress.",
