analysis: The text appears to be discussing the activities and programs of the United Nations Department of Public Information, specifically related to the dissemination of information and communication. The topics mentioned include the holding of a roundtable on a new world information and communication order, improvement of data-collection procedures, and evaluation studies on the distribution of materials. This suggests that the category is likely related to transport and communication, as well as education, which are both closely tied to the dissemination of information.
