Abstract: The United Nations and its family of agencies are only one of many sources of technical assistance in an era which has come to understand and to put into wide practice the concept of sharing economic skill and knowledge. In keep ing with the nature of the Organization, the United Nations has organized a Program that gives every country the oppor tunity of being a partner in economic development. The word "multilateral" has come into its own as a description of this new kind of assistance, but it cannot do justice to the unique blending of the experience of almost every country in the world. The United Nations Charter pledges that the Organi zation will "promote higher standards of living, full employ ment and conditions of economic and social progress and de velopment...." Through the Technical Assistance Program, the UN has come a long way towards fulfilling this mandate.
