OverviewThis 1989 report from the Executive Director of UNICEF looks at some of the great social achievements of the 1980s which are now saving the lives of at least 2 million young children each year. However, the report states that this rate of progress is now threatened by the reversal of economic development in large areas of the Third World. In the 37 poorest nations, for example, spending per head on health has been cut by 50% and education by 25% in the last few years prior to 1989. The report calls for action on debt-reduction, trade and aid, to restore the momentum of development and to help the industrialized world itself return to healthy economic growth. UNICEF notes that the kind of development that the developing world most seeks is also the kind of development which the majority in the industrialized world would most support. In the 1990s, UNICEF states that a real development pact between industrialized and developing nations is needed to focus on food and nutrition, water and sanitation, health care and primary education. The report concludes that with such a commitment, the knowledge and experience gained over the last few decades could convert relatively small increases in development resources into some of the greatest advances in human well-being of this or any other century. This report should be of value to everyone concerned with developmental issues. Full Product DetailsAuthor: UNICEF , James P.
