EVOLVING TABLE – 24TH VERSION1 
Revision  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Explanatory Notes  
1.  The attached Table is divided into three  Parts2, as follows:   
 Part I : Cotton Specific Development Assistance. This is assistance directly related to the 
cotton sector.  
 Part II : Agriculture and Infrastruct ure-Related Development Assistance. This is 
assistance related to cotton when provided under more general agricultural or 
infrastructure support programmes.  
 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 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 
http://www.projects.worldbank.org/  (World Bank projects and operations, including by country, sector and 
theme).  
 This document has been prepared under the Secretariat's own 
responsibility and is without prejudice to the positions of Members  
or to their rights and  obligations under the WTO
