2003 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES
IMPLEMENTATION FOR THE SECOND QUARTER
(1 APRIL TO 30 JUNE 2003)
Note by the Secretariat
Revision
1. This report covers all Technical Assistance and Training Activities undertaken in the second
quarter of the year 2003.  It contains succinct information on the topics covered, the venue, the nature
of the activity, whether a partner agency was associated, the number of staff involved, its duration andthe costs
1 of each activity.  The table attached is organized by subject and in alphabetical order, in line
with the TA Plan 2003.
2. The implementation rate doubled with a total of 129 activities undertaken in the second
quarter, compared to 66 in the first quarter.  This can largely be explained by the fact that the
implementation, particularly of regional activities, requires approximately a two-months preparationprocess.  Therefore, after the approval of the TA Pl an at the end of last year, the preparation of such
activities was initiated in the first quarter and the activities were subsequently executed in the second
quarter.  This also explains the relatively high rate of regional activities undertaken in this period
(60 per cent of all activities).  Given the total number of 441 activities contained in the TRTA Plan for
2003, the number of implemented activities in the second quarter corresponds to more than a quarter
of all activities for the year as a whole, while the total number of activities implemented since the
beginning of the year (195) corresponds to close to fifty per cent of the total planned.  Theimplementation thus reached 'cruising speed'.
3. It emerges from analysis of the period under review that emphasis has effectively been put on
Africa in the delivery of technical assistance.  More than a third (thirty six per cent) of all activities
implemented in the three months focused on that region, followed by Latin America and the
Caribbean with twenty two per cent.  Due to the out break of SARS, only twelve per cent of technical
assistance was delivered in the Asia-Pacific region.  A certain number of activities planned for the
period in the region had to be postponed;  one had to be aborted and rescheduled after the activity had
started (the DDA Advanced Programme for Senior Government Officials in China, at the end of
March).  Delivery in Central and Eastern European and Central Asian countries represented twelve
per cent of all activities implemented in the second quarter.  As for activities planned for delivery inArab and Middle East countries, they too suffered from unstable security conditions in parts of the
region.  Therefore, the rate of delivery was five per cent of all activities implemented in the period
under review.  The remaining thirteen per cent of activities implemented included Geneva-based
training courses, and the participation of WTO staff members in meetings organized by other
institutions and bodies.  It is worth noting that least-developed countries participated in fifty sevenevents, corresponding to forty four per cent of all activities implemented in the three months under
review, whether at the national level, at the regional level or in Geneva-based activities.
                                                     
1 The costs of each activity correspond to the situation in the WTO accounts as at 30 June 2003.
Theses costs may change over time as outstanding commitments (if any) are progressively liquidated.WT/COMTD/W/118/Rev.1

4. In the period under review, a majority of activities (forty three per cent) focused on
capacity-building for the DDA negotiations, with special emphasis on the Singapore issues, and
particularly on  investment.  The DDA Advanced Training Programme for the Caribbean was held in
June, and two more such courses were started in that same period, one for Latin American countries,
and one for Central Asian countries.  The implementation of activities at the regional level, as well asWTO's participation at international conferences and meetings, was higher than the delivery of TA at
the national level (sixty per cent compared to forty per cent).
5. Geneva-based training activities in the second quarter included the 25
th WTO Trade Policy
Course (English) which started in April and was concluded mid-July.  Thirty countries, among which
four least-developed, participated.  Other Geneva-based training activities included the
3rd Introduction Course for English-speaking least-developed countries, the 2nd Specialized Course on
Trade Negotiations (English), and the 5th Specialized Course on Dispute Settlement (English), in
which twenty eight Government officials participat ed, including four from least-developed countries.
