The implementation of the recommendations was regarded as an opportunity to consolidate and update the programme both at headquarters and in the field. Most of the recommendations have already been implemented. Limited financial resources were a key factor in determining the gradual implementation of the recommendations. Most of the resources used came from savings and from the regular budget. However, the availability of extrabudgetary resources is of vital importance, considering that some planned activities cannot be completed unless external sources of funding are identified. The Programming, Planning and Assessment Unit of UNCTAD facilitated the identification of existing in-house technical solutions and encouraged cooperation among Divisions within UNCTAD. All National Empretec centres have offered valuable support to the process. The remaining recommendations could be implemented in the next year, provided the necessary extrabudgetary resources are available
