text: recommendation in paragraph 71 (d) to establish a small working group to examine UNFP A issues was the result of a suggestion made by a Government, and would be most appropriately discussed at the forthcoming session of the Governing Council. 40. The recommendation in paragraph 73 (a) that the resource base of UNFP A should be further strengthened was intended to remind delegations that the primary function of UNFPA was to channel funds for population assistance to developing coun­ tries. The most obvious way of strengthening the Fund's resource base was by increasing voluntary contributions, a subject that would also be discussed at the thirty-third session of the Governing Council ofUNDP.
