UN General Assembly
1962

101. Over the years, the United Nations itself has established an impressive range of technical institutions geared to the job of helping the less developed nations to modernize their economies. The United Nations family of agencies is the source of new and exciting projects: a World Food Programme is just getting under way; the Board of Governors of the World Bank is calling at this moment for recommendations on the expansion of capital for the International Development Association; an un-precedented conference on the application of science and technology to the problems of development will be held at Geneva early next year. Other projects and programmes attest to the growing maturity, the expanding scope, and the rising operational capacity of the United Nations family of agencies. This is all to the good.
