EVOLVING TABLE – 30TH VERSION1,2 
Revision  
Explanatory Notes  
1.  The attached Table is divided into three  Parts3, as follows:   
• Part I : Cotton Specific Development Assistance. This is assistance directly related to the cotton 
sector.  
• Part II : Agriculture and Infrastructure -Related Development Assistance. This is assistance 
related to cotton when provided under more general agricultural or infrastructure support 
progr ammes.  
• Part I II: National Cotton Sector Focal Points. This Part provides the coordinates for focal points 
established by assistance beneficiaries for their engagement with the bilateral and multilateral 
development communities.  
 
 
1 This Evolving Table (ET) reflects a modified structure, based on the understanding with Members and 
other participants at the 15th Round of the DGCFMC on 15 July 2011. In the modified structure, all the projects, 
programmes and activities in the "complete d" category have been transferred "out" of the active operational 
table, and are now annexed to this ET as Annexes 1 and 2, with the title "Completed Activities".  
2 This document has been prepared under the Secretariat's own responsibility and is without p rejudice 
to the positions of Members or to their rights and obligations under the WTO . 
3 As agreed at the 26th Round of the DGCFMC on 23 November 2016, the Evolving Table  on Cotton  
henceforth focuses on committed resources related to the cotton sector. The available resources from 
multilateral institutions, mainly from the IMF and the World Bank , that could potentially be used by 
governments to support their cotton sector on the bas is of national development or poverty -reduction 
priorities, previously shown in Part III  of this Table , can be accessed through the following web links: 
http://www.imf.org/external/np/fin/t ad/exfin1.aspx  (IMF data by country); and 
https://projects.worldbank.org/  (World Bank projects and operations, including by country, sector and theme).
