Section I contains an overview of the activities carried out in 1999, indicating trends in delivery and in the mobilization of resources. Delivery, overall, increased in 1999 by 16.5 per cent from the level in 1998, to slightly more than US$ 25 million, of which around 40 per cent was directed towards the least developed countries, an increase from the figure for 1998. Trust fund contributions were down in 1999 from US$ 17.2 to US$ 13.6 million. The distribution of UNCTAD's technical cooperation shows a decrease in country and regional projects versus interregional projects. Section II reviews activities in the least developed countries. Section III covers cooperation with other organizations, which continued to develop satisfactorily, and reports on UNCTAD's involvement in the work of the CCA/UNDAF and on projects funded with UNFIP support. Section IV reviews the utilization of capacities of developing countries in UNCTAD's technical cooperation activities. Section V deals with the retreat organized as part of the secretariat's efforts to enhance the delivery of UNCTAD's technical cooperation services after UNCTAD X. Section VI provides information on the evaluation of technical cooperation programmes undertaken in 1999. Section VII reports on cooperation between UNCTAD and the private sector. Section VIII reviews the financial sustainability of certain technical cooperation programmes. Annex I provides a programme-by-programme review of activities undertaken in 1999, and annex II provides statistical information on UNCTAD's technical cooperation
