The article focuses on the U.S. Agency for International Development (A.I.D.) which began its program of assistance for population and family planning in the developing countries. During the three years since that time, A.I.D. has emerged as the largest single resource for helping less-developed countries plan and implement population and family planning studies, action and training programs. A.I.D. dollar assistance to population and family planning programs in developing countries has increased from $2.1 million in FY 1965 to $34.7 million in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1968, plus local currencies in 1968 valued at $50 million, generated by U.S. food aid. For the current fiscal year (1969), the Congress has increased to $50 million the funds earmarked for population and family planning within the Foreign Assistance Act. A.I.D. assistance in this new field was initially concentrated on strengthening educational and research institutions, both in the U.S. and in developing countries, to provide the manpower and leadership urgently needed for rapid development of effective population/family planning programs in developing countries.
