RESOLUTION 36/202
Resolution A36r202

17 December 1981

Target for the World Food Programme pledges for the period 1983-1984

The General Assembly,

Recalling the provision of paragraph 1 of its resolution 2095 (XX) of 20 December 1965 to the effect that the World Food Programme is to be reviewed before each pledging conference,

Recalling also the provision of paragraph 4 of its resolution 32/112 of 15 December 1977 specifying that, subject to the review of the Programme provided for in resolution 2095 (XX), the next pledging conference should be convened at the latest early in 1982, at which time Governments should be invited to pledge contributions for 1983 and 1984, with a view to reaching such a target as may then be recommended by the General Assembly and the Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations,

Recalling further the recommendation contained in paragraph 90 of the International Development Strategy for the Third United Nations Development Decade that the resources of the World Food Programme should be augmented and that every effort should be made to reach the target agreed upon for each biennium during the Decade for the regular resources of the Programme,

Noting that the review of the Programme was undertaken by the Committee on Food Aid Policies and Programmes at its eleventh session and by the Economic and Social Council at its second regular session of 1981,

Having considered Economic and Social Council resolution 1981/85 of 2 November 1981 and the recommendations of the Committee on Food Aid Policies and Programmes contained in its sixth annual report,

Recognizing the value of multilateral food aid as furnished by the World Food Programme since its inception and the necessity for continuing its action both as a form of capital investment in economic and social development projects and as a means of meeting emergency food needs,

1. Establishes for the two years 1983 and 1984 a target for voluntary contributions of $1.2 billion, of which not less than one third should be in cash and/or services in aggregate;

2. Urges States Members of the United Nations and members and associate members of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to make every effort to ensure the full attainment of the target;

3. Requests the Secretary-General, in co-operation with the Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, to convene a pledging conference for this purpose at United Nations Headquarters early in 1982;

4. Decides that, subject to the review provided for in its resolution 2095 (XX), the subsequent pledging conference, at which Governments should be invited to pledge contributions for the biennium 1985-1986 with a view to reaching such a target as may then be recommended by the General Assembly and the Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, should be convened at the latest early in 1984.
