Abstract:
After ten years during which technical assistance to developing countries by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) rose from $ 5 mn in 1967 to $ 40 mn in 1976, factors influencing the organization’s evolution, future tasks, operations and plans have taken place. In the long term much will depend on the extent to which international cooperation keeps pace with declared intentions, and favourable indications have been provided by the response to early experiments in global consultation. Realization that industrialization encourages all other forms of development, particularly education and health services, should also encourage greater material support to UNIDO from Governments.
