For this analysis you are only being given one reference – the link above to the UNDP website. In undertaking your research you are required to find a minimum of four other sources of information to support your analysis and argument.
Hint: You will find a lot of the required sources via the UNDP site (there is a link to publications), but do not limit yourself to just those sources. Google Scholar is an excellent resource for finding academic papers – as is the UC Library.

Most of us (including me) now use the US version, ‘program’. When referring to the UNDP, or any other UN Programme, it is correct to use the English spelling.
