INTRODUCTION
1. The Doha Ministerial Declaration, adopted on 14 November 2001, confirms that technical
cooperation and capacity-building are core elements of the development dimension of the multilateral
trading system.  Ministers established an extensive mandate and undertook a firm set of commitments
on technical cooperation and capacity building to enable beneficiary countries implement WTO rules
and obligations, prepare them for effective participation in the work of the WTO, including for futurenegotiations and an extensive Work Programme, as well as to enable them to draw on the benefits of
the open, rules-based multilateral trading system.
2. This Coordinated WTO Secretariat Annual Technical Assistance Plan for 2002 is work in
progress.  Effective implementation of the Plan began on 1 January 2002.  However, the Plan will be
in dynamic evolution, and will be subject to regular reviews.  Members are yet to fully absorb the
realities of what is specifically needed for the implementation of the Doha Development agenda.  This
plan is one  of 6 levels of action that the WTO will pursue in the implementation of the technicalcooperation and capacity building objectives in 2002, including those objectives that are mandated by
the Doha Ministerial Declaration.  The six levels of action, which will be pursued interdependently
are:
(i) effective coordinated delivery of technical assistance with well-defined
inter-agency groups/multilatera l agencies, focused on issues.   This level
will focus on all areas, including on the Singapore Issues, and areas where
synergies would be required with other multilateral institutions.  The Doha
Ministerial Declaration establishes an unprecedented agenda and set of
commitments on technical cooperation and capacity building.  The WTO, on
its own, cannot implement all the commitments.  It is indispensable thatstrategic partnerships are established with other agencies with related
competencies.  These partnerships require careful negotiation and
coordination.  Discussions have begun in this regard, and are well advanced
in several areas such as Investment, Competition, Trade Facilitation, the
Integrated Framework, Standards, etc.  The membership will be informed onthese partnerships as they are firmly established, and as they evolve.  This
issue-focused partnerships will be the Integrated Framework (IF) writ small;
(ii) the Integrated Framework for Trade-Related Technical Assistance to the
Least-Developed Countries.   This is an area where a strategic inter-agency
partnership, with representatives of bilateral donors and LDCs' beneficiaries,has already been established.  Action at this level will be based on the re-
vamped Integrated Framework as a mechanism for mainstreaming  trade
priority areas of action into the development plans and strategies for poverty
reduction of the LDCs, and also a mechanism for actual delivery.  LDCs
remain the priority category for the delivery of WTO Trade-Related
Technical Assistance.  The Integrated Framework Heads of Agency met on
26 February 2002, and issued a Communiqué that further strengthened theIntegrated Framework;
1
(iii) Creation and management of a WTO Trade-Related Technical
Assistance Database.   This database is necessary for improved coherence
and coordinated delivery of technical assistance by providers (agencies and
countries).  The database will minimise the distortions that often arise in thearea of technical cooperation, transparently show activities that are being
delivered and, hopefully, eliminate duplication and other inefficiencies.  The
                                                     
1 WT/IFSC/1 dated 27 February 2002WT/COMTD/W/95/Rev.3
Page 4
creation and management of this database is a cooperative exercise amongst
agency and country providers of technical assistance.  Information will be
made available to Members on the functioning of the database;
(iv) Effective coordinated delivery of technical assistance by the WTO and
bilateral donors in the Developmen t Assistance Committee of the OECD.
The bilateral donors, within the framework of the Development Assistance
Committee of the OECD, providers of the greater quantum of technical
assistance, including at country level.  Agencies of the Integrated Framework
held a first-ever meeting with bi lateral donors in the DAC/OECD, 17-18
January 2002, to better coordinate trade-related technical assistance delivery
not only in favour of the LDCs, but also in implementation of the Doha
mandates on technical cooperation and capacity building2.  This meeting of
agencies and donors will re-convene in December 2002 to evaluate progressmade in the delivery of trade-related technical assistance in the
implementation of the Doha mandates on technical cooperation and capacity
building;
(v) Strategic partnerships with Regional Banks, Institutions and
Commissions.  Regional pillars are a requirement for the effective
implementation of the mandates
3.  The Secretariat is in the process of
negotiating and concluding Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with
regional development banks, with resources that could be set aside for
technical assistance, concessional and non-concessional lending for trade-
related projects, and trade financing.  Several of the regional banks alreadycontacted are willing to enter into joint delivery of training for trade officials
with the WTO, and to cooperate in the areas of mainstreaming  trade into
national economic development plans and strategies for poverty reduction.
One important objective in the arrangements with regional banks will be to
pursue regional joint meetings of trade and finance ministers in order tosupport the process of better integrating trade priority areas of action into
overall economic policies and poverty reduction strategies.  Seminars will
also be jointly conducted together with these regional banks, institutions and
regional commissions.  Regular information and updates will be provided to
the Committee on Trade and Development; and,
(vi) Finally, the annual Secretariat-wide Technical Cooperation Plan, to be
delivered mainly by the WTO Secretariat  (and to an extent in coordination
with multilateral agencies with related competence, as indicated in the
appropriate columns).  This Plan is the first in the series of annual plans.  In
the implementation of this Plan, the Committee on Trade and Development
(COMTD) will be more effectively used for reporting on activities, updates,
and evaluations.

3. This document focuses on the WTO Secretariat-wide Annual TA Plan, as in paragraph 2(vi)
above.  Pursuant to the Doha Ministerial Declaration, previous decisions by Members, and Secretariat
practice, activities in this Annual Technical Assistance Plan are based on inputs from five sources
namely:
(i) the mandates on technical cooperation and capacity building in the Doha
Ministerial Declaration as contained in paragraphs 16, 21, 24, 26, 27, 33,38-40, 42 and 43;
(ii) the New Strategy for WTO Technical Cooperation for Capacity-building,
Growth and Integration, endorsed by Ministers in paragraph 38 of the Doha
Declaration;
(iii) the dynamic and on-going demands received from the membership and
countries in accession to the WTO Secretariat (operational divisions and the
Technical Cooperation Division).  Inputs into the Plan from this source takesaccount of the fact that WTO TA remains demand driven;
(iv) the stand-alone decisions on technical cooperation taken by Members such as
in paragraph 14 of the Negotiating Guidelines for the Services Negotiations,
the decision on technical assistance by the Customs Valuation Committee,
and others;  and
(v) coordinated inputs (not simply a compilation) from Operational Divisions
and the TCD, emerging from meetings of the Technical Assistance
Management Committee (TAMC), base d on Divisional conceptions of
optimal delivery of TA within their substantive jurisdictions.
4. Having regard to the five sources of inputs to this Plan (as stated in the foregoing paragraph ),
each activity in this 2002 Plan has been explicitly linked to the specific mandates contained in
11 operative paragraphs in the Declaration, indicated in the table below:
Paragraphs Mandate
16 Tariff negotiations:  non-agric. market access
21 Trade and investment
24 Trade and competition
26 Transparency and government procurement
27 Trade facilitation
33 Trade and environment
38 Mainstreaming/Implementation/New Strategy
39 IF/JITAP – coordination with bilateral donors/agencies
40 Predictable funding for TA activities
42 LDCs' accessions
43 Integrated frameworkWT/COMTD/W/95/Rev.3
Page 6
5. In practice, this means that in the implementation of the proposed activities, the Secretariat
shall work towards a clear understanding on how they relate to, and reflect the pertinent commitments
on technical cooperation (TC) and capacity building (CB) in the Doha Ministerial Declaration.  It
should also be understood that the activities as set out in this document are designed to focus and
deepen the relevant technical assistance commitments of the Doha Ministerial Declaration.  The
implementation of these activities will focus on addressing the commitments of the Declaration andactivities supportive of those commitments.
6. In light of the above, this Secretariat's A nnual Plan for 2002 is divided into sections.
Activities that cover more than one subject-matte r have been inscribed in the section that is
considered more relevant.  The following sections are used:
(i) Accession
(ii) Agriculture
(iii) Competition Policy
(iv) Customs Valuation
(v) Dispute Settlement
(vi) Government Procurement
(vii) Implementation Issues
(viii) Information Technology/WTO Reference Centres
(ix) Integrated Framework/Least-Developed Countries
(x) Investment
(xi) Mainstreaming
(xii) Market Access
(xiii) Rules
(xiv) Services
(xv) Short Trade Policy Courses
(xvi) SPS / TBT
(xvii)  Textiles and Clothing
(xviii)  Tools for Technical Assistance
(xix) Trade and Environment
(xx) Trade Facilitation
(xxi) Trade Negotiations Skills
(xxii)  Trade-related Intellectual Property RightsWT/COMTD/W/95/Rev.3

7. To conclude this introduction, six additional points require underscore.  First , this plan has
been subjected to the fullest possible internal coordination by the Technical Assistance Management
Committee in light of information available to it in the immediate post-Doha period.  This Plan has
also been revised in extensive consultations with Members.  It is understood that it cannot be
considered as exhaustive because many Members (in particular, developing and least-developedcountries) still require deeper assessment of the technical cooperation implications in support of their
policy objectives and actions.  As a result, strictness in the execution of this plan needs to be
combined with flexibility in implementation.  Ther e will be, however, limits to interpretations of
flexibility.  For instance, the Plan is being implemented on the understanding that ad hoc  requests
4
shall be limited to the barest minimum.  Ad hoc  requests had a destabilizing effect on the former 3-
year plans.  These requests did impact negatively on the ability of the Secretariat to focus and deliver
on the planned activities.  Furthermore, because the number of planned activities in 2002 exceeds thelevels for previous years, the Secretariat shall atta ch priority to planned activities, and will seek the
understanding of Members in ensuring adherence to this Annual Plan.  Ad hoc  requests and activities
that arise or are requested by Members will be considered for the 2003 Plan, except in the most
exceptional of circumstances.
8. Second , this Plan needs to be read in conjunction with a number of other technical assistance
activities that are being carried out beyond the Doha Development Agenda.  This is the case,
inter alia , of the planned activities of the WTO Training Institute, which are presented to the
Committee on Trade and Development in document WT/COMTD/W/89/Rev.1.  Members will recall
that as a result of the adoption of the WTO Budget for 2002, Members have now doubled the capacity
of the WTO Training Institute to deliver on the regular trade policy courses in English, French andSpanish.  Moreover, Members need to bear in mind other technical assistance activities, which are
provided here in Geneva and elsewhere, but which are not subject to any WTO financing.  Lastly, the
Plan does not include the on-going technical assistance provided by the Secretariat to WTO Members
individually at Headquarters.
9. Third , this WTO Annual TA Plan for 2002 is not stand-alone.  It contains those activities that
the WTO Secretariat can deliver within its competence, resources, and more importantly what is
possible within a 12-month calendar period.  However, as stated in paragraph 2, this Plan is one out of
six levels of action by the WTO in responding to the technical cooperation and capacity-building
mandates established by Ministers in the Doha Ministerial Declaration.  It bears repeating as in
paragraph 2 that the other levels are coordinated action and delivery in carefully defined areas withthe bilateral donors within the DAC/OECD, relevant  multilateral agencies, and on-going work in the
re-vamped Integrated Framework for Trade-Related Technical Assistance to the Least-Developed
Countries (IF).  In the course of implementing this Plan, addenda will be issued to this document to
draw to the attention of Members the factual evolution on the other levels of action as in
paragraphs 2(ii) to (iv).
10. Fourth , the organisational changes in the WTO Secretariat by the Director General comprise
the merge of the Development Division and the Ec onomic Research and Analysis Division into the
new Development and Economic Research Division.  A principal rationale for this change was to
adjust the Secretariat to address the development and technical cooperation and capacity-building
(TCCB) mandates through, inter alia , research studies to provide factual analytical information for the
use of developing countries in the negotiations.  This economic and research basis will be an
important component of the WTO Secretariat's activities on TCCB.
11. Fifth , the activities of this Plan will be subject to scrupulous evaluation and auditing to ensure
high quality delivery and to monitor the use of technical assistance and its impact in recipient

Secretariat, and the engagement of professi onal capacity envisaged for the planning period.WT/COMTD/W/95/Rev.3

countries.  The evaluation and audit functions will be carried out by the Technical Cooperation Audit,
which was separated from the Technical Cooperation Division in the 2001 reorganization of WTO
technical cooperation by Senior Management.
12. Finally , it is essential that the technical assistance received by beneficiary countries is
cumulative, contributing to the institutional capacity of beneficiary countries to participate in the
multilateral trading system, implement their obligati ons, exercise their rights, and meaningfully draw
on the benefits of the open rules-based trading system.  To this end, it is necessary that the Secretariat
and the Members work together to be sure that technical assistance is delivered within the coherent
policy framework of national economic developmen t plans and/or the World Bank/IMF Poverty
Reduction Strategy Papers.  This is one of the core elements of WTO technical assistance identified in
the New Strategy for Technical Assistance (paragraph 8 of the New Strategy).5   In the absence of this
approach, experience has shown that, in most instances, technical assistance received non-
cumulatively by beneficiary countries leads to an annual repetition of the same requests.

ANNEX I
Doha Development Agenda Short Trade Policy Courses
This Advanced Training Programme for Government Officials is designed to train trade
negotiators of WTO Members and Observers from developing countries and economies in transitionmore systematically on the issues central to the Doha Development Agenda.  The main purpose of this
programme is to strengthen these countries' effective participation in the Doha negotiations and work
programme through policy analysis, a deeper understanding of the issues involved and the range of
options available.
The programme will draw on the collaboration and participation of academic centers of
excellence, research institutions and policy-oriented think tanks in five regions:  Africa, Asia and thePacific, Arab and Middle East, Central and Easter n Europe and Central Asia, and Latin America and
the Caribbean.  It will be based on the experiences obtained through the WTO Secretariat's
participation, during the past five years, in th e WTO/Organization of American States/Georgetown
University Advanced Training Course on Multilateral and Regional Issues of the Trade Agenda of the
Americas, as well as in the regular activities of the Joint Vienna Institute (JVI).  The objective ofthese Institute-based Short Trade Policy Courses in support of the DDA will al so be reflected in the
regular and Short Trade Policy Courses of the WTO Training Institute.
Objectives
• To strengthen the participation of government officials in the negotiations related to the
Doha Development Agenda;
• To increase their understanding of negotiating issues and to analyze  the various
negotiating proposals and options.
Activities
• One Advanced Training Course per year in each of the following regions:  Africa, Asia
and the Pacific, Arab and Middle East, Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, andLatin America and the Caribbean.
10

negotiation in the Doha Development Agenda;
• To ensure transparency in the process, any qualified government official may apply with
the support from their government;
• Selection of participants to be carried out by the WTO Secretariat in coordination with
partner agencies/institutions, with a view to:
                                                     
10 This includes the already planned Advanced Training Course for Government Officials which will be
held for Latin American and Caribbean countries in June 2002 at Georgetown University, Washington, incooperation with the Organization of American States (OAS) and which is currently being revised to reflect thenegotiating issues contained in the Doha Development Agenda.WT/COMTD/W/95/Rev.3
Page 66
• obtaining a wide spectrum of representative responsibility;
• including officials with direct responsibility for the design and implementation of policy
on the issues at hand;
• promoting networking and interface among participants, both from different countries,
but also from different ministries and sectors within countries;
• ensuring participation of private sector representatives of organizations directly involved
in advising the government on negotiating positions.
Format and Programme
• The WTO will join an academic institution to organize a two-week intensive Advanced
Training Courses on an annual basis in each of the regions;
• Courses to be held, preferably, in the premises of academic institutions;
• Programmes to include the examination of negotiating issues under the Doha
Development Agenda, from the multilateral and the regional perspectives. Inclusion of
trade negotiations simulations and dispute settlement simulations;
• Lecturers and trainers to be drawn from WTO staff, academic institutions, government
officials (as resource persons) and trade consultants.
Immediate Action
• It is envisaged to seek, within the next few months, possible co-sponsors in the other
regions, such as the Joint Vienna Institute (JVI), the Islamic Development Bank, ESCAPSecretariat, the Asian Development Bank Institute, the ASEAN Secretariat and the New
Partnership for Africa's Development (N EPAD), the Economic Commission for Africa
(ECA), and to identify the academic instit utions that could join in this effort;
• The programme for Latin American and Caribbean countries in collaboration with
Georgetown University, Washington, and the Organization of American States (OAS)
will be continued;
• In Asia, discussions will be pursued with the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, and the
Institute for Cooperation in International Economic Relations.WT/COMTD/W/95/Rev.3

ANNEX III
Video-Conferencing
1. Video-conferencing is an important tool for technical cooperation. Lecturing, question and
answer (Q&A) sessions as well as technical missions can be effectively delivered, at a minimal cost
and with  considerable multiplier effect. Video-conferencing is used on a regular basis during ShortTrade Policy Courses as well as in some technical missions. Video-conferencing also plays an
important role in the delivery of TA whenever the Secretariat staff  is not in a position to travel to a
country due to conflicting schedules, security considerations or other reasons. Both participants and
WTO staff have found that video-conferencing is an effective means of communication since it
maintains dynamic face-to-face contact. However, it n eeds to be borne in mind that it is not a perfect
substitute for delivery in situ  and that beneficiary countries often demand physical  presence in TA
delivery, and express a preference for physical presence in the delivery of TA when faced with thechoice of either a video-conference or physical presence for TA delivery.
2. The Secretariat owns a video-conferencing system that with a global reach to other video-
conferencing equipment that recognizes the ITU standard H.320. The system  uses ISDN telephone
lines and the video quality is near-television quality at the high end. Two types of video-conferencingcan be organized: point-to-point connections and multi-point links.
3. The present WTO video-conferencing equipment is used, in addition to technical cooperation
activities, for several other purposes such as participation in conferences, dispute settlement panels,
interview of candidates, coordination meetings, etc. In the case of lectures, for instance, presentationscan easily and effectively be adapted to a video-conference format while accommodating visual tools
such as power-point presentations, overhead transparencies, charts, photographs and video sequences.
4. The expected increase in size of TA activities due to the Doha Ministerial mandates, and the
fact that in some instances conflicting schedules have already occurred in the past, the Secretariat
plans to acquire an additional video-conferencing equipment to be used on a priority basis for the
delivery of technical assistance.WT/COMTD/W/95/Rev.3
