As was seen in the previous chapter, the technical assistance programmes of the United Nations have been the outcome of a series of resolutions adopted by the General Assembly during its different sessions. The present technical assistance activities of the Organization are mainly in the fields of economic development, of social welfare and of public administration.

According to Professor W. R. Sharp, if there had at that time been a single Department of Economic and Social Affairs (as was later established), the chances are that United Nations share of Expanded Programme would have been placed under its supervision.
