9.1 ACC/SCN's DEVELOPMENT OF A GLOBAL STRATEGY

The planning of a global strategy for the prevention and control of IDD has now been formally taken up for the United Nations by the ACC/SCN.

An initial report prepared for the Australian Government at the request of the ACC/SCN was submitted by the author in February 1985. In October of the same year, the ACC agreed that a definite plan for an international support programme be prepared by the World Health Organization. This plan has now been endorsed by the ACC/SCN.
