Decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE, and then answer the questions below. The United Nations operates many programs and special agencies to promote economic development and provide assistance and technical expertise to developing countries. One of those programs is the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Many developing nations rely on income from trade to support their economic development efforts at home and are especially vulnerable to price fluctuations on international markets and other trade problems. UNCTAD was founded in the 1960s to help negotiate international trade agreements that stabilize prices and promote trade with developing countries. During the 1970s, the General Assembly included those goals in its call for a New International Economic Order to promote growth in developing countries. But developing countries have little power in the international economy, and as a result UNCTAD has been largely ineffective in advancing their interests in international trade. Other efforts include the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), which coordinates all UN efforts in developing nations. It is funded through voluntary contributions and has thousands of projects operating around the world. UNDP is the world's largest international agency providing development assistance on technical issues. Two related agencies are the United Nations Industrial pevelopment Organization and the United Nations Institute for Training and. Research. UN programs offer several advantages in promoting economic development. Many UN experts and volunteers are themselves from other developing countries. UN workers who come from the developing world may be more sensitive to local, conditions and to the pitfalls of development assistance than their counterparts from more wealthy countries. The UN can also organize its assistance on an international scale, avoiding duplication of efforts. A. True or False? 1. Many developing nations suffer from constant changes of prices on international markets. 2. UNCTAD had the role of a negotiator to stabilize prices and promote trade with developing countries. 3. Because of the lack of funds, UNCTAD has been largely ineffective in advancing their interests in international trade. 4. UNDP experts and volunteers only come from developed countries. 5. The United Nations Industrial Development Organization and the United . Nations Institute for Training and Research have the same aims with UNDP. B. Comprehension questions. 1. What is the first program of the United Nations to promote economic development and provide assistance and technical expertise to developing countries? ' 2. What was the role of UNCTAD? 3. Why did UNCTAD become ineffective? 4. What is the role of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP)?.
