NEW YORK, November 6, 2002 (LifeSiteNews.com) - At a meeting where various countries pledged monies to support United Nations bodies, Patrizio Civili, Assistant Secretary-General for Policy Coordination and Inter-Agency Affairs commented on the current status of funding for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). Developing nations have criticized the United Nations for concentrating more on population control than on providing basic amenities such as food stuffs.
Civili said that core resources for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) were $305 million in 1995 and remained above $300 million in 1996, following which they began to decline. "This year, the Fund had had to adjust its programmes due to substantial reductions by two major donors," he said. UNICEF, which has also associated itself with the population control agenda of UNFPA, has also suffered a contribution decline of 2 per cent in 2001.
Meanwhile, in 2001, the World Food Programme (WFP) received $1.9 billion, the highest amount in its history.
