Report of the meeting of expert group on comprehensive development planning

Abstract

In the discussion on the draft agenda prepared by the secretariat it was agreed that the subject matter of the meeting should be confined to the techniques of economic planning, rather than the substantive content of planning. Several additional points for discussion were proposed and the agenda items were reorganized to follow more closely the actual planning process. The agenda as amended is included as an Appendix to the present report. It was agreed that the report of the Conference on the Problems of Economic Development which took place in Cairo, July 1962, should be included as a working paper in the documentation for the meeting.
