ABSTRACT

The mobilization of private sector support for family planning activities is an important goal of the U.N. Industrial

Development Organization (UNIDO). In November 1971 UNIDO held an experimental group meeting in New York on

""Contraceptive Production and Distribution.''W Rather than having developing countries attempt to produce their own

oral contraceptives, it is felt that joint purchasing, testing, and distributing of contraceptives by countries in a

specific area would be beneficial. UNIDO can assist in organizing these joint programs and can provide training and

expertise in the production, marketing, distributing, managing, and investing skills required for contraceptives.
