UNDP reviews about "senior management"

Lots of incompetence at all levels Too many useless meetings where too many people are invited and no decisions made Focus on spending money instead of sensible development Lots of ego's in senior management that have no clue about management or development Lack of care for the people that matter in communities or even (staff) staff

Cons: a lot of discrepancies in the system

Significant bureaucracy which prevents the agency from always delivery against objectives or implementing innovative approaches. Treatment of staff is also mixed depending on the senior management team in place.

National staff are often under-paid compared to international staff, given the budget limitations. Senior management largely only cares about their own upward management.

Senior management keeps changing every 3 years and many things change as per their leadership style and interest

deadlines are often not met

Hierarchical, not much guidance from senior management, poor duty of care

contract insecurity and weak senior management

bureaucracy is a challenge, but depends also on the senior management
