The United Nations Development Programme has been implicated in funding regime change NGOs in Zimbabwe to the tune of over $5 million over the past 3 years.
The UN agency was in the eye of a storm recently after trying to impose terms of reference on the Government in the wake of the $132 million poll funding request extended to it but differences soon emerged over the terms of reference of the UN agency's Needs Assessment Mission.
The Herald claims its investigations have unearthed incontrovertible evidence that the UN agency has; along with some Western nations, think-tanks and donors, been secretly funding regime change activities with the latest tranche being disbursed as late as Tuesday last week.
UNDP is among a group of organisations, foreign ministries and purported foreign aid groups that have been secretly funding hostile regime-change NGOs such as the Zimbabwe Election Support Network and the MDC-T election directorate disguised as the Election Resource Centre.
