**Analysis**
The text appears to be focused on the cooperation and assistance provided by the Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC) to its member countries. The assistance is mainly related to economic development, technical training, and education. The text mentions specific areas of cooperation such as public finance, money and banking, balance of payments, and postal services. The involvement of international organizations like the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Universal Postal Union (UPU) also suggests a focus on economic development and technical cooperation.
