Question

Evaluate the impact of two UN specialized agencies in Africa.

Markscheme

The question requires that candidates make an appraisal by weighing up the strengths and limitations of the factors that influenced the impact of two specialized UN agencies in Africa. Candidates may select any two UN agencies as the basis of their response. Factors which affected the impact of UN agencies may include the extent of their resources; their ability to deliver, support and maintain services and the willingness of countries to receive aid. The nature of their impact will vary from country to country and candidates may also consider a range of reasons for this. Candidates may consider political, economic, geographic and ideological factors which enabled or impeded the work of the chosen agencies. Internal and external conflicts may have affected their impact. The enthusiasm for and support of the work of these agencies by non-African countries may also be considered.
