The Institutional Framework for Technical Assistance: A Comparative Review of UN and US Experience

Walter R. Sharp

International Organization, 1953, vol. 7, issue 3, 342-379

Abstract: International technical aid programs, under the impetus of the Point Four idea, have now been functioning for three years. The time has perhaps come to review program operations in terms of some of the practical problems that have confronted the managers of the United Nations and United States programs. Such an evaluation, however tentative in character, may throw light on the potentialities and difficulties of the multilateral versus the bilateral framework for technical assistance. Exaggerated claims and counter-claims have been advanced with respect to the two processes. What does the record to date appear to reveal?
