**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the activities and decisions of the Industrial Development Board (UNIDO) related to its regular programme of technical cooperation and the United Nations Industrial Development Fund. The text mentions the allocation of resources, the importance of maintaining the programme's level, and the promotion of industrial development in developing countries, especially the least developed countries. This suggests that the category should be related to economic development, industry, and international cooperation.
