Sub-Committee on Least-Developed Countries
FOCAL POINTS UNDER THE INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK
AS REPORTED TO THE ADMINSTRATIVE UNIT
1. At its meeting of 25 November 1998 the Sub-Committee on Least Developed Countries
requested the Secretariat to provide an up-to-date picture on focal points under the IntegratedFramework (IF).
1  This document provides a listing of the focal points in least-developed
countries (LDCs) and their development partners - multilateral and bilateral - as reported to the
Administrative Unit for the Integrated Framework. This information is periodically updated and can
be readily accessed at the IF web-site http://www.ldcs.org/  .
2. Of the LDCs twenty have, to date, identified a focal point.  Sixteen multilateral and bilateral
development partners of LDCs have also expressed an  interest in participating in the IF exercise and
have provided the Administrative Unit with focal  points and a brief description of their ongoing or
proposed trade-related technical assistance activities. A number of other development partners have
been contacted and are expected to provide the requested information. Also listed are details of the
focal points in the six core agencies (IMF, ITC, UNCTAD, UNDP, World Bank and WTO) thatconstitute the Inter-Agency Working Group responsible for the overall supervision and management
of activities carried out under the IF.
