5. Expresses its appreciation to all Governments that are contributing to the United Nations Children's Fund and appeals, with a sense of urgency, to all Governments, especially those not contributing at a level commensurate with their capacity, to increase their contributions, if possible on a multiyear basis, so that the Fund may reach its revenue target of $290 million for 1981, as projected at the session of the Executive Board held at Mexico City from 21 May to 1 June 1979;[2]
