TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE  TO DEVELOPING COUNT RIES  
SUBMISSION BY THE UNITED STATES OF AME RICA 
Addendum  
The following communication, dated 27 February 2020 , is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of the United States of America . 
 
_______________  
 
 
1  INTRODUCTION  
1.1.  In 1999, the World Trade Organization (WTO), Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Committee 
initiated a process is to gather information on technical assistance that Members have requested, 
received, or provided in support of the implementation of the SPS Agreement since it came into 
force on 1 January 1995 ( see G/SPS/W/101) . In response to this interest, the United States 
(G/SPS/GEN/181 and a ddenda) as well as other donors, including inter alia Canada 
(G/SPS/GEN/1426), the European Union  (G/SPS/GEN/1139 and addenda), and Japan 
(G/SPS/GEN/1160 and addenda), have submitted periodic reporting on technical assistance provided 
in support of impleme ntation of the SPS Agreement.  This submission marks the thirteenth such 
submission by the United States.  
1.2.  The compilation of US technical assistance provided to developing countries and newly acceding 
countries in this report shows the assistance between 01  October 2016 and 30 September 2018.  In 
this report, the United States provides details on more than 200 technical assistance projects in the 
fields of food safety, animal health, plant health, and agricultural biotechnology.  Forms of assistance 
include re gional trade capacity building workshops and conferences, hands -on training programs, 
fellowships and exchanges, and site visits to US research and academic institutions.  
1.3.  The United States continues to attach importance to the provision of technical assist ance to 
developing countries in support of implementation of the SPS Agreement.  US technical assistance 
programs assist developing countries, least developing countries, and newly acceding countries in 
developing and implementing effective, transparent, an d science -based regulatory systems to 
protect human, animal, and plant health while facilitating trade in food and agricultural products.  
These programs seek to foster a clear understanding of key SPS provisions in trade agreements.  
The United States conti nues its effort to tailor technical assistance. In our experience, 
demand -driven assistance provided in a framework of mutual respect and accountability provides 
the strongest framework for delivering enduring results.  
1.4.  The US Department of Agriculture (USD A) implements many technical assistance activities in 
partnership with other US Government agencies, international organizations, US universities, agri -
businesses, and private consultants.  This report includes a list of the key US Government agencies 
involved in the provision of SPS -related technical assistance to developing countries, least 
developing countries, and newly acceding countries, as well as a list of representative activities 
conducted in the specified reporting period.  The lists are not exhaus tive. G/SPS/GEN/181/Add.13

  2  KEY US AGENCIES  INVOLVED IN PROVIDI NG TECHNICAL ASSISTA NCE 
2.1.  Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service (APHIS)  – APHIS is a lead US government 
agency in international SPS standard setting activities in the areas of animal health and plant health. 
APHIS' international technical and regulatory capacity building activities are conducted on the basis 
of requests from other countries or from US Government agencies involved in international technical 
assistance. APHIS has staff positioned globally in 46 overseas offices assisting in both import and 
export issues. APHIS partners with international agricultural organizatio ns, such as the 
World  Organization for Animal Health (OIE), the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), 
the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the Inter -American Institute 
for Cooperation in Agriculture (IICA) to achieve and advance science -based SPS objectives globally.  
2.2.  Commercial Law Development Program (CLDP)  – CLDP is a division of the US Department 
of Commerce that helps achieve US foreign policy goals in developing and post -conflict countries 
through commercial legal reforms. Partnering with the federal judiciary, other U S Government 
agencies, and international or ganizations, CLDP designs and implements conferences and 
workshops, utilizes long and short -term advisors, and trains foreign delegations in the United States 
and other countries to improve commercial legal frameworks. These frameworks strengthen 
standards , food safety, and animal and plant health agencies; utilize international best practices to 
reduce impediments to trade; increase transparency regarding specific SPS concerns; and develop 
early notification systems for emerging bilateral and regional trad e blockages.  
2.3.  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)  – EPA works closely with the USDA Foreign 
Agricultural Service and other US agencies to provide scientific and policy expertise for the 
establishment of standards and requirements regarding sound pesticide  and chemical management 
practices based on science. EPA, considered one of the world's leading authorities on the regulation 
of pesticides, has worked extensively with other countries both bilaterally and through international 
fora to promote harmonized m aximum residue limits.  
2.4.  Food and Drug Administration (FDA)  – FDA is the agency within the Department of Health 
and Human Services responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy, 
and security of domestically produced and import ed foods, as well as human and veterinary drugs, 
food additives, and supplements. FDA maintains an international presence and works with many 
other US agencies to provide public health and food safety technical expertise to our trading 
partners.  
2.5.  Food Safet y and Inspection Service (FSIS)  – FSIS is the USDA's public health agency, 
responsible for ensuring that the nation's commercial supply of meat, poultry, and egg products is 
safe, wholesome, and correctly labeled and packaged. FSIS has significant expertis e in helping 
foreign governments understand the regulatory system of the United States.  
2.6.  Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS)  – FAS has the primary responsibility for coordinating 
and implementing USDA's international trade policy, promotion, and capacity bui lding activities. FAS 
provides technical assistance through fellowships and scientific exchange programmes , such as the 
Cochran and Borlaug fellowship programmes , as well as through the dispatch of USDA advisors and 
experts from other US food regulatory ag encies to assist foreign policymakers, regulators, scientists, 
and the private sector to address complex, trade -related issues such as SPS compliance and 
applications of agricultural biotechnology.  
2.7.  US Agency for International Development (USAID)  – USAID is  the lead US government 
agency delivering development assistance worldwide. USAID provides assistance to support country, 
regional, and global strategies that facilitate trade and strengthen SPS systems. Technical assistance 
builds the capacity needed to s upport policy and systems change, enabling implementation of the 
WTO SPS Agreement and adherence to regional and international SPS standards.
