**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the budget of the United Nations, specifically the estimates for various departments and programs. It mentions technical cooperation for development, administration and common services, and the Office of Secretariat Services for Economic and Social Matters. The text also refers to the need for a comprehensive review of the Department of Technical Co-operation for Development to ensure the long-term viability of the United Nations' technical cooperation program. This suggests that the text is related to international development and cooperation.
