Contributions & Pledges   Orange  
 
No new pledges or contributions to the DDAGTF in  June. However, discussions with several donors  
have progressed and we have circulated some preliminary draft MOUs although specific amounts  
have not been formally pledged. For example, at a meeting with donors in mid-June, Germany  
indicated it would be making a contribution shortly. As mentioned in the last report, some donors  
have been waiting for final narrative reporting on 2012 activities before proceeding with a  
contribution. This reporting was available and only in the last days of June and has now been sent.  
This should help to facilitate the release of intended resources from some donors.  
 
Activity Level 
 Green     
Expenditures and commitments recorded in 2013 for the implementation of the planned activities  
under the DDAGTF totalled CHF 8.9 million with a further CHF 0.2 million in anticipated  
commitments. As of the end of May, 36% of the planned 2013 activities had been implemented or  
initiated: 56% of Chapter A and 31% of Chapter B including 57% of Regional Seminars.  
Implementation of planned activities is generally on track. 
Outlook 
 Orange     
Due to the healthy carry forward amount of CHF 12.4 million available at the end of 2012, funding  
has not been an obstacle to implementation of the activities anticipated in the TA Plan. However, it  
is becoming clear that contributions will only arrive  in the second half of the year and perhaps only  
after the summer holidays. Anticipating the fact that the Bali Ministerial will make it difficult to  
organize much TA in December this means that late arriving contributions may not be used in  
2013, but will provide the foundation for 2014. Assuming there is not a cash flow problem in the  
autumn, this should be good news as it will allow early 2014 activities to be planned for without  
hesitation.  
Other trust funds are starting to need additional contributions as well. Taking into consideration  
planned (but not committed) projects, the STDF is in a deficit position. Also, Trade Faciliation Need  
Assessment Fund and Trade Facilitation Negotiating Group Fund both need cash to continue their  
activities. Finally, the MC9 LDC Fund will need support very soon if arrangements for Bali are to be  
effectively implemented.
