The Chief Coordinator of DALTO, which stands for the Department of Aid to the Less technically Oriented, is focused on helping less developed nations progress. The organization aims to bridge the gap between these nations and more advanced ones, facilitating their advancement and integration into the global economy.

This initiative is detailed in Shirley Hazzard's book, "People in Glass Houses," where the efforts and challenges of providing assistance to backward nations are explored. Hazzard sheds light on the complexities and implications of such aid, emphasizing the need for thoughtful and respectful engagement in international development.
