Multimillion Dollar U.N. Strategy Shows Little Effect in Bangladesh - United Nations - FOXNews.com

Multimillion Dollar U.N. Strategy Shows Little Effect in Bangladesh - United Nations - FOXNews.com: "Bangladesh is the only country where researchers compared results between areas that implemented the U.N. strategy with those that did not. In research published in the medical journal Lancet on Friday, experts found the program had no major impact on saving children.

U.N. officials could not say how much the program in Bangladesh cost, but said millions have been spent on its implementation around the world.

'It's remarkable the program has achieved so little,' said Philip Stevens, a director at the International Policy Network, a London think-tank. 'And it's baffling that it has been rolled out globally without any evidence that it works.'"

Where have you been Mr. Stevens? Have you ignored everything the U.N. has done? This is normal for a U.N. program (just like any other bloated bureaucracy).
