What does UNDP stand for?
Possible answer: United Nations Development Programme
What is UNDP?
Based on the previous answer, a UN agency charged with "the UN's global development network: an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. It "strives to reduce poverty; increase literacy; create jobs; enhance technical cooperation between industrialized and non-industrialized nations" and help find solutions to "national development challenges."
In essence, it is a publicly-funded organization.
Why did I mention UNDP?
Answer: agency equipment, transportation assets not excluding, are not for personal use.
In case public assets have been used in a private capacity, what kind of repercussions may occur?
Answer: As an example, the United States have been known for withholding funds regularly allocated for US contributions to the UN budget until proper accountability has been taken.
The Oil-for-Food Program during the Iraqi Embargo, where the former UN Secretary Kofi Annan's son and close acquaintances were accused by the US of being involved, is an example of withholding funds and where a full blown US congressional inquiry into the matter was launched.
