how does the UN try to organise welfare activities all over the world
Answers
Answer:
Funds, Programmes, Specialized Agencies and Others
The UN system, also known unofficially as the 'UN family', is made up of the UN itself and many programmes, funds, and specialized agencies, all with their own leadership and budget. The programmes and funds are financed through voluntary rather than assessed contributions. The Specialized Agencies are independent international organizations funded by both voluntary and assessed contributions.
