The world conference of the Society for International Development meeting here was told today that 620 Israeli experts were engaged in various technical assistance programs outside of Israel during the year 1964. The report was given by Dr. Raanan Weitz, head of the Agricultural Department of the Jewish Agency and chairman of the National and University Institute of Agriculture in Rehovot.
Dr. Weitz also reported that 6, 616 men and women from the developing countries participated in training programs in Israel during the period 1958 to 1963. “Israel’s program of aid to developing countries,” he said, “has been increased each succeeding year both in the number of Israel’s experts sent abroad and in the number of trainees from the developing countries studying in Israel.”
