MECHANISM ON COTTON  
 
Evolving Table  
 
Revision  
   
 
 
 
 
Explanatory Notes
 
 
1. The attached Table is divided into four Parts, 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 programmes.   
• Part III
:  Available/Accessible Resources.  This refers to assistance in the form of 
resources available from multilateral institutions  through:  i) Budget support provided 
in the Poverty Reduction and Growth F acility (PRGF) and the Poverty Reduction 
Support Credits (PRSCs);  and, ii) Debt relief in the form of the Heavily Indebted 
Poor Countries Initiative (HIPC), Emerge ncy Post-Conflict Assistance, Exogenous 
Shocks Facility and the Multilatera l Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI).  
 Part III was established in accordance with the outcome from the March 2007 High-
Level Session on Cotton.1  The purpose is to show "available" resources as 
distinguished from committed resources.  These could be deployed to any sector or 
activity on the basis of national development,  or poverty-reduction priorities.  In this 
section, there are no ex ante  values for the column "Status/Cotton Available 
Amounts".  Value entries will be made on th e basis of domestic capital and recurrent 
expenditures. 
• Part IV :  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.
