Summary/Abstract: This analyses of the UNICEF goods distribution realized from Trieste Port, where the very first shipments to FPRY recipients started to arrive in November 1947, to boys and girls in Yugoslavia in the course of the very first post- War years, prefigures the new socialistic administration’s incapacity to substantially influence the position betterment process aimed at children as a social group whose status inside the community was one of the most explicit society advancement indicators – by using the inherited, insufficiently made-up traffic structure devastated in the wartime and with the help of both partly established, corrupted, non-competent coordination agencies and rudimentary social, sanitary and educational institutions network. This effort of presenting the UNICEF actions in Yugoslavia by indicating transport and storage problems, problems of aid coordination and distribution as well as problems in domain of communication with both potential recipients and the inland Mission members, makes an unusual prospective to look „the inside” from, was made in order to get features of severe Yugoslav reality of the first ten post-World War II years perceived.
