Abstract	Developing countries are becoming increasingly aware of the fact that specialized information is essential to their economic and social development, and that it is an indispensable factor in the rational use of natural resources, the development of human resources, scientific and technological advancement, and progress in agriculture, industry, and services. It is to address these needs that Unesco, in close collaboration with its member states, associate members, and international intergovernmental and non- governmental organizations, has drawn up its Medium Term Plan for 1984-1989. This plan comprises 14 major programs, of which the seventh is concerned with information for development. This program is divided into three programs, the first two of which are to be implemenhed by the General Information Programme (PGI). The first aims at the improvement of access to information through the application of new technologies, standardization, and interconnection of information systems. The second aims at the establishment of infrastructures, the development of policies, and the organization of the training required for the processing and dissemination of specialized information. The third program, which is to be implemented by Unesco's Library, Archives, and Documentation Services (LAD), provides for the collection, organization, and presentation of information in Unesco's fields of activity, and its circulation within member states and the secretariat. This report concludes with extensive excerpts from the plan for each of these three programs. (BBM)
