Dubinkina, K.A. Implementation of the concept of development assistance on an example of activities of the United Nations Development Programme in Russia of 1990s till mid-2000s

Abstract: The development programme concept has appeared rather recently, but the fast growth of range of both donors and recipients of aid, as well as the interest of the global community have proven its topicality. In the late XX there was an extraordinary event. The Russian Federation, which was a successor of one of the largest donors became a recipient. Starting from 1991 Russia has been cooperating with various agencies and specialized institutions of the UN, which provided aid for the development purposes. One of the organizations, which has started to work in Russia rather recently was the UN Development Programme, and starting from 1999 it gained a leading role in restoration of one of the least sustainable regions of Russia – the Northern Caucasus. At the same time UNDP implements the programs for assistance to the Bryansk region, which has suffered as a result of the Chernobyl catastrophe and some projects in the sphere of preservation of the unique biological variety of Russia. This article concerns the key directions of activities of the UNDP in Russia at the turn of the centuries.
