I.
GENERAL BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
The European Commission (EC) and the United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP) have continued an advocacy initiative for the worldwide achievement of
MDGs and for development cooperation across the European Union within the
“Kapuscinski Develoment Lectures”, 3rd Round project.
The final report covers the implementation of the project during the 1.09.2011 –
31.10.2012 period. The period included 9 lectures in the following countries: Austria,
Belgium, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia.
The series “Kapuscinski Development Lectures” was named for Ryszard Kapuscinski,
a Polish reporter and writer who covered developing countries. Kapuscinski, whose
books were translated into many languages, was often named the “Third World
Chronicler” or the “Voice of the Poor” for his famous reportages and books
describing developing countries on all continents. Among other books, he was famous
for the following: “The Emperor” on Ethiopia, “Shah of Shahs” about Iran, “The
Shadow of the Sun” about Africa, “Another Day of Life” about Angola, and
“Imperium” about the Soviet Union.
II.
LEGAL BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

2011/270-916 signed on August 16, 2011 between the European Community and the
United Nations Development Programme (hereafter “Agreement”). According to the
Agreement the budget of the project is estimated at EUR 149,372.00. The European
Community undertook to finance 100% of the estimated costs. The implementation of
the Agreement began on 01/09/2011 for the initial implementing period of 11 months.
The implementation period has been extended to 14 months based on the amendments
no 1 and 2 to the agreement.

Summary
YLE’s TV News at
18:00 and 22:50. The
news item of the story
was the Administrator’s
suggestion to create a
special council for
sustainable
development, similar to
the one on human rights,
and the emphasis of the
story was on combining
all the three pillars of
sustainable development
together in the Rio +20
conference. The reporter
highlighted the fact that
urgent action is needed
in Rio, and also
mentioned the lecture
(and there was some
TV
footage on it as well).
“UN

environment Rio. The emphasis here
protection”
is also in addressing the
three pillars of
sustainable development
together, but also on the
growing inequality
between and within
nations, and the need for
other measures for
growth than the GDP.
Green growth and the
example of Indian
employment
programme, presented
by the Administrator,
are also mentioned in
the story. The story is
critical towards reaching
the urgent-actionsneeded in the Rio +20
conference and states
that “Many fear,
however, that the end
result will be similar to
last December’s climate
conference in South
Africa. The negotiations
on emission reduction
have stagnated.” And
continues by saying that
“A good aim for the Rio
conference, according to
Clark, would be that
different countries
would share their
experiences and learn
from each other – from
such examples like the
one in India (mentioned
above).”

COMMUNICATIONS

The major communications work around the lectures in this project was done by
contracted universities. The universities followed the communications guidelines of
the project which implementation was supervised by the Project Manager1.
All lectures were filmed, the available videos were uploaded to the website:
http://kapuscinskilectures/eu. Starting from the lecture in Lisbon (29.03.2012) UNDP
in cooperation with the host universities have tested live streaming of the lectures
using the ustream.tv service. The online audience of the lectures has been increasing
from 26 views in Lisbon through 85 views in Helsinki up to 205 views in Brussels.
Webstreaming and online content viewers statistics, updated on 23 January 2013.

UNDP has purchased video equipment for the project aimed at organizing video
streaming and recording the video interviews with the speakers. The equipment will
be used for the following rounds of the Lectures.
UNDP, in close cooperation with EC, designed and established a new, separate
website of the Kapuscinski Development Lectures at http://kapuscinskilectures.eu.
The website is designed to: promote the upcoming lectures and feature live and
recorded content from the past lectures. The website includes all content from the past
lectures, basic information about the project and the organisers, information about the
partners and speakers. The website enables live streaming of the lectures and is well
linked to the social media. UNDP launched and updated an official Facebook profile
(http://facebook.com/kapuscinskilectures) and the official Twitter profile
(http://twitter.com/kapulectures) which features live tweeting from lectures and
sharing interesting content from EC, UNDP, partner universities and speakers.
Every lecture was announced to the national media through invitations and press
releases. Most of the lectures were attended by journalists. In some cases the hosts
organized exclusive media interviews with the speakers.
The summaries of all lectures (based on submissions from the hosts) were also
collected in one document2.
