26. It is necessary to point out that, apart from the. country programs directly administered by UNDP, there are a number of special funds and activities supervised by UNDP personnel or dependent on the UNDP field network for their operation. These will also be seriously affected, resulting in an acrosstheboard decrease in activities and efficiency. This situation should not be allowed to arise. We repeat that it is therefore important in our view that all .donor countries increase as much as possible their contribution to the program and make those pledged sums available at the beginning of the year. Only in this way can developing countries achieve the program envisaged in decision" 80/30,2 which has been hailed as a positive step and through which the developing countries can be sure of continued assistance in their efforts towards self-reliance and economic liberation.
