Administrative History: Middle East Development Division (1946-1983)
This Foreign Office department was established in 1946 as part of the British Middle East
Office based in Cairo, and was designed to provide an advisory service to Middle East
Governments on economic and social developments. It evolved from the work undertaken
by the wartime Middle East Supply Centre and was largely the brainchild of Ernest Bevin.
It had a twofold task: to liase with Middle East governments and “stimulate their work on
progressive lines, and to set up a channel through which they can obtain from British
Commonwealth sources the expert advice they need. Secondly, to provide HMG and HM
Representatives in the region with a reliable source of co-ordinated information and advice
on economic trends within the region.” The first Head of Division was Sir Ferguson
Crawford, KBE, CMG. The office subsequently moved to Beirut in 1952. The other
branches of the BMEO were disbanded in 1955, leaving the Development Division as a
form of overseas, regional and technical department of the Foreign Office. In 1961 the
Department of Technical Co-operation was established and the MEDD became part of it.
MEDD withdrew from Beirut in 1976, transferring to Amman where it was wound up in
about 1983.
Scope and content: Project papers and reports dealing with agriculture, co-operatives,
education, finance, fisheries, forestry, health provision, industry, mineral resources, public
administration, transport, water resources, and other development projects, mainly in
Jordan (including the West Bank territory), but also covering Aden, Egypt, Iran, Iraq,
Libya, Oman, Israel and Palestine; correspondence files; some papers on the South-East
Asia Development Division and the Overseas Development Institute.
System of arrangement: By subject within geographical area
Access conditions: Open

Language of material: English, small amount of Arabic
Conditions governing reproduction: No restrictions on copying or quotation other than
statutory regulations and preservation concerns
Custodial history: Accumulated in the Library of the Middle East Development Division,
first in Cairo and later in Beirut and Amman
Immediate source of acquisition: Donation received from R.S. Porter, Deputy Secretary
(Chief Economist), Overseas Development Administration, Foreign and Commonwealth
Office, in September 1984. Porter was on the staff of the MEDD from April 1951-June
1965. He was responsible for saving the Library from dispersal, and offered it to Queen
Elizabeth House, Oxford, where he was on the Governing Body. When he became a
Senior Associate Member of St. Antony’s in 1984 the material was transferred to the MEC.
Further material acquired in 1992-3. The collection was weeded before transfer to Britain.
