ICF was developed by which organization?

• A. ICF was developed by OECD.
• B. ICF was developed by FDA.
• C. ICF was developed by WHO.
• D. ICF was developed by UNESCO.

Answer: (C)

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) was developed by the World Health Organization. It provides a framework that looks at health more broadly—how a condition affects functioning, daily activities, participation in life situations, and the impact of environmental and personal factors—rather than focusing only on disease. WHO published the ICF and it was endorsed by the World Health Assembly in 2001, with subsequent revisions. Organizations like OECD, FDA, and UNESCO have different roles (policy, regulation, or education/sccience) and did not create the ICF.
