"We hope to share Ningbo's experience in developing micro, small and medium-sized enterprises and social integrated management with the whole world, and let the world know Ningbo." Ms. Renata Dessallien, deputy from United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), told a reporter from Ningbo Evening News on the afternoon of March 6.
Ms. Renata Dessallien, UNDP Resident Representative for China, is in charge of coordinating more than 20 UN branches in China. She said, "The manufacturing industry in Ningbo is so developed that it goes far beyond my imagination. Encouraged by the policy of opening and innovation, Ningbo has really made remarkable progress in areas like sustainable development, social harmony and public service. "
It is learned that UNDP and Ningbo municipal government has reached an agreement on co-operation projects of the integrated management of medium and small-sized rivers.
"Currently, most of the small and medium-sized rivers suffer from mismanagement, water deterioration and low standard of disaster prevention, thus it is extremely urgent for China to manage and control the small and medium-sized rivers." said Ms. Renata Dessallien. UNDP aims to summarize the experience of domestic and international river management and create a typical small and medium-sized river pilot project for showcasing. They also are committed to set a standard for the management of small and medium-sized rivers in China under the impact of global climate change. Meanwhile, they plan to carry out personnel training program on international cooperation in an effort to improve the technical level and management capabilities in Ningbo and other areas in China. In addition, Ningbo is located in southeast coast in China, showing there is much room for cooperation between Ningbo and UNDP in the field of marine development and environmental governance.
Ms. Renata Dessallien also shows great interest in Ningbo's experience in the development of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. She expressed her wish to bring Ningbo’s experience to the world while introducing international advanced technology and experience to Ningbo
