Contributions & Pledges  Red 
 
Contributions in the current year now total CHF 10. 6 million and total funds av ailable amount to CHF 
19.5 million.  In September we received CHF 940,580 from the United States and Liechtenstein 
continued its consistent support w ith another contribution of CHF 40,000.  We still have a formal 
pledge pending from France (EUR 500,000).  Although there are no other formal pledges, Australia, 
Denmark and Finland have indicated that contributions are possible (a s mentioned last month).  Given 
that we are approaching the end of the year, we  do not anticipate that we will receive significant 
additional resources that can be applied to the cu rrent year.  Some donors, for example Switzerland, 
have indicated they will consider pledges for 2012 and are awaiting the 2012-13 TA Plan to help 
inform the decision making in their capitals.  
 
Activity Level  Red 
 
Expenditures recorded so far in 2011 for the implementation of the planned activities under the 
DDAGTF have reached CHF 16.5 million out of a pl anned CHF 24.0 million.  This includes funding 
for future activities that has been  committed, but not yet paid.  Several lower priority or under-
subscribed activities have been cancelled and it is ad vised that additional activities be approved only 
on an exceptional basis between now and the end of th e year.  At this point, roughly 70 per cent of the 
planned activities are completed or in some stage of active implementation.  
Outlook  Red 
 
The low level of contributions to the DDAGTF (exa cerbated by the strong CHF) means that current 
year receipts are likely to fall short of current y ear expenditure for a second consecutive year. This 
suggests that remaining activities should be severel y limited so that the DDAGTF will carry forward 
enough funds to enable meaningful implementa tion of TA activities at the start of 2012. 
 Given the current economic realities facing most Me mbers, it will be important to make decisions 
about relative TA priorities in orde r to develop a plan for 2012-13 that will be financially realistic and 
consistent with the capacity of the WTO to deliver.  It is also important to ensure that our plan 
responds to the growing expectations from donors th at our TA activities will be linked to measurable 
outcomes in order to assure continued funding.
