In my opinion, even if the United Nations were to be fully funded, we would still need programs such as the Arc Initiative or social enterprise. UN is an organization that aims at maintaining world peace, and helps developing countries grow and advance. Although the UN helps many countries around the world, it is impossible for it to change the globe independently.It is vital for organizations such as the Arc Initiative to help resolve minor elements and details. We need programs to help develop the visions and goals of the UN. I believe that while the UN lays a foundation, smaller programs must sustain the plans of the UN and provide assistance.

Those programs have the ability help develop what has been started by the UN through educating the public, and assisting the citizens of those countries. They play a significant role in terms of sustainability, by providing the citizens with knowledge, and educating them in regards to business, and business development to help people escape poverty. For example, The Arc Initiative program at UBC “seeks to build a bridge, an arc, that facilitates a genuine two-way exchange of knowledge and business skills” to help the people of South Africa, Ethiopia, Columbia, and Rwanda. It is evident that the smaller programs play a crucial role in terms of development and contribute immensely to the actions initiated by the UN.
