Review and appraisal of progress in implementing the goals and objectives of the second United Nations Development Decade

Abstract

In the review and appraisal exercise embodied in the International Development Strategy and Africans Strategy for Development in the 1970s, the secretariat was expected to concentrate on three elements of the objectives and goals of the Second United Nations Development Decade: a regional analysis of the socio-economic progress made in the region based on both the reports prepared by member States of the Commission and those prepared by other inter national agencies on the problems in their areas of competence; an examination of the special problems of the least developed and land-locked countries of the, region; and a review of the progress, problems and prospects of economic co-operation in the region.
