This book is a practical proposal by the Director-General of UNIDO, Carlos A. Magari?os, to increase the policy coherence and operational effectiveness of the UN system in the field of economic development. Its core aim is to reorganize the economic development functions of the system by agreeing on a common business plan structured around the shared programmatic priorities of the Millennium Development Goals. Much of the recent debate on economic development policy for low- and middle-income economies has operated In a vacuum of evidence about the factors that weigh most decisively in their ability to catch-up with the more developed economies.
