SUMMARY

Summary: This report contains an overview of UNCTAD's technical cooperation activities in 1997. Recent highlights include: continued growth in activities, represented by delivery in 1997 of 165 projects; organization of seminars and workshops for training and human resource development; further enhancement of UNCTAD's software programmes; and an increase of 4 per cent in overall delivery. The focus continues to be on least developed countries, with an increase in their share in overall delivery to 40 per cent and the launching of the Trust Fund for Least Developed Countries. The report also contains proposals on partial cost recovery for DMFAS, ASYCUDA and ACIS. Continued efforts to strengthen cooperation with other organizations engaged in trade-related technical cooperation culminated in: (i) the launching of the WTO/UNCTAD/ITC Common Trust Fund to support the implementation of the Joint Integrated Technical Assistance Programme in Selected Least Developed and Other African Countries; (ii) a memorandum of understanding between UNCTAD and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization to boost investment in developing countries; and (iii) a memorandum of understanding between UNCTAD and the United Nations Development Programme designed to help developing countries integrate into the global economy. Annex 1 (TD/B/45/6/Add.1) contains a programme-by-programme description of activities undertaken in 1997, together with the corresponding project list. Annex 2 (TD/B/45/6/Add.2) contains statistical information on UNCTADs technical cooperation
