The amendment specified that AID programs should encourage the development of hospitals and health facilities. sewerage systems. housing. communication systems and agricultural production and distribution. It recognizes that these facilities are the key to promoting rural. employment based development in recipient countries. thus alleviating urban crowding and reducing pressures for emigration to developed countries. An important related objective is the reduction of international inflationary pressures resulting from competing demand for scarce resources. To encourage progress in this area. the amendment specifies that AID programs should encourage selfsufficiency by recipient countries in two basic areas. namely food production and energy production.
