Exp,:esses its appreciation to all Governments of both developed and developing countries which, at the 1981 United Nations Pledging Conference for Development Ac tivities. announced contributions or their intention to con tribute to the United Nations Development Programme for 1982. in particular those Governments which have consis-

tently increased their voluntary contributions to the Programme;

Expresses its deep concern nevertheless that the likely shortfall in 1982 in over-all voluntary contributions may adversely affect the proposed programme delivery for the third programming cycle of the United Nations Devel opment Programme;

Urges all Governments, especially those whose vol untary contributions may not reflect their capacity to con tribute, to renew their efforts to provide the United Nations Development Programme with the resources necessary to establish a sound financial basis for the implementation of the Programme's planned activities for the third program ming cycle, 1982-1986, which for the purpose of forward planning would assume an over-all average annual growth of resources of at least 14 per cent;

Reaffirms the request of the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme, in its decision 81/16, to the Administrator of the Programme to continue consultations with donor countries with a view to reaching the level of resources envisaged for 1982-1986 in order to maintain the level of programme planning for participating countries, as approved by the Governing Council for the third programming cycle, 1982-1986;

Decides that, beginning in 1983, a broad policy review of those funds and programmes which are under the guidance of the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme and managed by the Administra tor of the Programme should be undertaken on a biennial basis, on the understanding that a brief report, including a financial statement, on those funds and programmes should be made available to the Governing Council in the inter vening years, and invites the Governing Council to act accordingly.
