Abstract

Brazil is on the threshold of a great economic development and social change and needs large numbers of skilled administrators and technicians in all fields to carry through the necessary programs for using its vast natural and human resources. The role played by the United Nations Expanded Program of Technical Assistance in this develop ment has been most significant because first, it was timely, and second, it focussed public attention on key areas where developments could be expected to have widespread effect. This is especially true for the projects associated with regional development, such as that of the Amazon Valley, the San Francisco Valley, and the Northeast. Two national projects: the Brazilian School of Public Administration and the Educa tional Reform Program have also made important contribu tions in the formulation of future policies in the fields of administration and education. On these various projects a large number of specialists from many fields, specialized agencies, and nationalities, served to gether as teams or groups; and in the process, they in turn, learned the art of effective personal and interdisciplinary co-operation, not only among themselves but also with their Brazilian colleagues.
