Global review of Aid for Trade
High-level segment

Examining the results at year one

This session will provide an overview of what has been learned from the first year of Aid-for-Trade monitoring, with a focus on global flows and the result of the donor- and partner-country self-assessments. It is also an opportunity to outline where the monitoring mechanism can be improved ?including by launching a work programme aimed at developing qualitative targets for expanding trade capacity. Key questions include:

  • Trade strategies ?including trade capacity building ?must be country owned and driven to be successful. Are partner-countries making trade and competitiveness a priority in their development strategies? What needs to change? What can others do to assist?

  • The overall ODA envelope needs to grow so that increasing Aid for Trade does not crowd out other development priorities such as health and education. What progress is being made in meeting Hong Kong and Gleneagles commitments? What are the current trends? What is the role and impact of non-DAC donors? How can we improve the effectiveness and predictability of Aid-for-Trade flows?

  • More and better Aid for Trade only makes sense if it can be shown to contribute to increasing developing countries' capacity to trade or competitiveness. There is a clear need to measure progress in meeting these objectives. Should we launch a work programme on evaluation, starting with an Experts Symposium in late Spring?

The way forward and future plans

This session is focused on generating a dialogue among partner countries, donors, and agencies about next steps in the three regions. The moderators will provide a brief summary of the regional reviews and their recommendations ?to which panellists will be invited to respond. At the national and regional level, the importance of country ownership, mainstreaming, agreeing on key priorities, improving regional approaches, and developing strategies to meet these objectives will be highlighted. Interactive dialogue with ?and contributions from ?the wider audience will be encouraged. Key questions include:

  • What are the main themes ?or objectives ? identified by the reviews?

  • What can countries, donors and agencies do to help meet these objectives?

  • The reports outline key recommendations ? or a roadmap ?for moving forward. Do panellists and participants broadly agree with the proposals? Are there ways they can be improved or built upon?
