provider of educational services.
• A Committee chaired by Sir Alexander Carr-Saunders with Guy Benveniste as Rapporteur met
in June 1962 and recommended the creation of the Institute. The UNESCO General Conference
adopted their recommendations in the fall of 1962 and the French Government provided a
building to house this new institution. Philip Hall Coombs who had been the first Assistant
Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs in the Kennedy administration, was
appointed as its first Director in 1963. The Institute, while an arm of UNESCO, was established
as a semi independent institution with its own board headed by a chair appointed by the
Director General of UNESCO.

countries, the Institute supports the whole process of formulation, implementation, monitoring
and evaluation of these plans;
