    海伦•克拉克曾连任三届新西兰总理。她在2009年成为联合国开发计划署（UNDP）的第一位女署长。联合国开发计划署52亿美元的预算中，有三分之一被用于消除贫困，致力于为贫困群体提供工作岗位。该组织称，接下来的工作重点是促进经济的稳定发展。除了建设稳固的民主制度，促进区域就业计划外，联合国开发计划署还报告称他们已经为1,600万人创造了工作岗位，其中17万人来自灾后重建地区。

Helen Clark

Administrator of the United Nations Development Program

    The former three-term prime minister of New Zealand became the first woman to lead the UNDP in 2009. About a third of the agency's $5.2 billion budget goes toward fighting poverty, with an emphasis on finding jobs for the underprivileged. That focus, in turn, promotes more reliable and robust economic growth, the organization says. Besides fostering stable democracies and promoting regional jobs programs, the UNDP reports that its job-creation work has directly led to employment for some 1.6 million people, 170,000 of those in regions recovering from disasters.
