United nations children’s emergency fund
UNICEF provides aid and welfare to children throughout the world. It assists specific projects in the fields of health, nutrition, family and child welfare, education and vocational training; provides basic equipment for maternal and child health centres, and training and stipends for their staff; helps campaigns against endemic diseases; encourages increased production and consumption of protective foods; provides aid for basic social services for children in developing countries, and emergency help to children who are victims of floods, earthquake, drought or other disasters. It comes under the aegis of ECOSOC and obtains its funds in the form of donations from governments and private sources. The Executive Director is appointed by the UN Secretary-General in consultation with the Board of thirty-one members which meets annually to determine policy. The Fund is based in the UN Secretariat in New York, with regional officers in Abidjan, Bangkok, Bogota, Copenhagen, Kathmandu, Sydney and Tokyo.
UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON TRADE
AND DEVELOPMENT
UNCTAD originally met in 1964 as a Conference convened by the General Assembly in order to help restructure the traditional patterns of international trade in the interests of developing countries. It became institutionalised as an organ of the General Assembly, and reports to the General Assembly through the Economic and Social Council. Its purpose is to obtain fair and stable prices for primary commodities, to facilitate trade and development, and in particular to enable developing countries to gain access to the markets of developed countries. It has its headquarters and Secretariat in Geneva, and is controlled by a Conference of its members meeting every four years and a Trade and Development Board consisting of 124 members elected by the Conference and meeting annually. It has seven main Committees: Shipping; Manufactures; Commodities; Invisibles and Financing related to Trade; Economic Cooperation among Developing Countries; Transfer of Technology and the special Committee on Preferences; also various subcommittees, working parties and ad hoc committees of experts. Among the major achievements of UNCTAD are the Generalised System of Preferences and the concept of solidarity and cooperation among developing countries.
United nations environment programme
The UNEP was established as a result of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm in 1973. Its major purpose is to encourage and coordinate policies for the reduction of pollution in its various forms, and to carry out research and relevant studies. Its headquarters and Secretariat are in Nairobi, with regional offices in Bahrein, Bangkok, Cairo, Geneva, Mexico City and New York.
United nations fund for population activities
The UNFPA was established in 1967 and comes under the direction of the Administrator of the UNDP. The Fund considers the wider aspects of population activities including the status of women. It concentrates on monitoring population trends and evaluating national policies, and reports at intervals to the Economic and Social Council on its findings. A major objective was the holding of a population census by member countries between 1975 and 1985.
