Technical cooperation with Iran : report on a case study of opportunities and policy implications for the United States : report to the Agency for International Development

Of primary importance in a review of relationships with those rapidly developing nations no longer eligible for concessional assistance from the Agency for International Development (USAID) are the possible mutual benefits from application of U.S. expertise in selected economic sectors. A team of American specialists from AID explores the possibilities for an expanded technical cooperation with Iran in this report. Results of the study indicate Iranian desire for increased American advisory expertise in several areas, particularly in agronomy and in mineral resources development. Identification of these and other opportunities for technical cooperation leads the American advisors to recommend vigorous follow-up by appropriate U.S. agencies. (ERIC abstract, modified)
