By Alicia BurrowHelen Clark says the United Nations is feeling the effects of the slowing global economy and says conflicts around the world are adding to the problem. Helen Clark, who heads the UN Development Programme, says part of her mission would be to see the UN move with the times and be more outward-facing and engaged with society.
