Abstract
The major United Nations (UN) specialized agencies were not set up to promote development, but for quite different purposes. Moreover, UN membership has increased from 51 to 159 so that a vast variety of demands and pressures, the majority from candidates for aid receipts, were brought to bear on a programme that required a unified strategy. UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has occasionally impeded rather than helped development. Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and UNESCO have fought territorial disputes over whether agricultural education comes properly under FAO or UNESCO, instead of co-ordinating their efforts for the benefit of the poor countries. World Health Organisation has promoted health measures to prolong life and has greatly improved death control, but has, until not so long ago, instead of leading the campaign for population control, set its face against birth control.
