9. Finally, he requested additional information on recommendations 2 and 5 of the Joint Inspection Unit and emphasized that effective monitoring and evaluation were very important for the Department's activities given the restrictions which the Department was currently facing with regard to financing and staff resources. His delegation felt that the Department should pay the closest attention to that issue and fully supported the recoi!Ullendations of CPC in that respect. 10. Mr. PEDERSEN (Canada) said that his delegation shared the concern expressed by the Advisory Committee in its report concerning reduced project delivery capacity and the resulting reduction in income. His delegation feared that the Department's overhead income would be less than the $16.3 million estimated for each year of the biennium and that the deficits recorded in 1981 and 1982 would be repeated. It therefore supported those other delegations which had requested the Secretary­ General to keep the situation under constant scrutiny and to be prepared to take additional remedial measures. 11. Mr. EMENYI (Nigeria) said that his delegation attached great importance to the work of the Department and to the contribution it could make to the management of the development projects of the developing countries. What was at issue was not whether the Department could deliver the services which it had been established to provide but whether the Fifth Committee should be concerned with helping the Department to carry out its tasks. It was regrettable that the level of resources made available to the Department had been reduced, and an effort should be made to ensure that the Department had the kind of staff it needed to ensure the delivery of the services in question. His delegation would welcome more detailed information on the services which the Department had provided to African countries and on its programme of activities for the forthcoming biennium. 
**Analysis**
The text discusses the operations and challenges of a department related to development projects, specifically in the context of international cooperation and resource allocation. The language used is formal and technical, suggesting a focus on institutional and bureaucratic matters rather than specific policy issues. The emphasis on monitoring and evaluation, as well as the concerns about reduced project delivery capacity and resource allocation, suggest that the category should be related to economic development or international cooperation.
