Abstract	This paper explores, from two perspectives, the potential contribution of U.S. occupational information systems and other related programs to human resources development (HRD) in other countries, particularly in developing countries. The first perspective arises from initial and subsequent research on occupational information systems design and use in the United States. The second arises from work within the international development community and the United Nations Development Program in particular. The paper: (1) outlines the context for HRD in developing countries, documenting policy and planning problems; (2) discusses the need to improve diagnostic and analytical capabilities, the critical role played by information in reducing the levels of uncertainty encountered in HRD policy formulation, and the importance of seeking proactive rather than merely reactive solutions; (3) defines occupational information in the context of HRD, specifically within the broader framework of economic and labor market information as a key element in HRD strategies, and reviews recent efforts to organize HRD information flow in the world; (4) assesses the relevance, scope, structure, and technical relevance of the National Occupational Information Coordinating Committee/State Occupational Information Coordinating Committee (NOICC/SOICC) network to development assistance efforts in HRD; and (5) presents conclusions and recommendations for further consideration by NOICC, the development community, and countries where the NOICC/SOICC model may be relevant.
