Extract

The Executive Board of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) held its 61st session in Paris from May 7 to May 29, 1962, under the chairmanship of Dr. Mohamed Awad (United Arab Republic). The Executive Board heard the Acting Director General's oral report on the activities of UNESCO since December 1961 and then reviewed the Acting Director-General's proposals on the Emergency Program of Financial Aid to Member States and Associate Members in Africa. It recommended that the Acting Director-General examine the possibility of carrying out the project for the establishment of a center for the production of school textbooks in Ethiopia and authorized allocations of $100,000 each for assisting educational planning in Southern Rhodesia and the Ivory Coast. The Board renewed its appeal to member states to continue contributing the emergency program so that at least the present deficit of $750,000 would be covered. The Acting Director-General was invited to report to the twelfth General Conference of UNESCO, to meet from November 9 to December 12, 1962, on the Organization's activities within the framework of the civilian operations of the UN in the Congo.
