The project’s central message is that over its entire history, the UN has played an important and often overlooked role in nurturing and pioneering a set of key action-oriented ideas. Many of these ideas have driven international agendas and catalyzed initiatives aimed at improving the quality of human life. Some examples include: providing an international economic framework for national development policies; setting global goals like the eradication of smallpox, around which action could be mobilized; and promoting a human development approach that emphasized going beyond basic needs to integrating economic and social development, human rights and elements of human security.
