Abstract
The Department of Technical Cooperation for Development (UN/DTCD), is the United Nations executing agency for technical cooperation projects in developing countries. The UN/DTCD, inter alia, has played an important role for 30 years to promote geothermal resources exploration and development in many developing countries worldwide. During the period 1985-1990 some major geothermal projects have been executed and very successfully completed by the UN/DTCD, thanks to the availability of sufficient funds provided by the international community. New geothermal project proposals in 20 developing countries totaling as estimated financial requirement of $60 million have also been formulated by the UN/DTCD during the last 5 years.
