1. Introduction: Aid for Trade
WTO Aid for Trade Task Force definition of Aid for Trade (AfT) includes:
(1) Trade policy and regulations
(2) Trade development
(3) Trade-related infrastructure
(4) Building productive capacity
(5) Trade-related adjustment
(6) Other trade-related needs
Trade-related Technical
Assistance

1. Introduction: Aid for Trade
WTO Aid for Trade Task Force (2006):
“Projects and programmes should be considered as Aid for Trade if these activities have been identified as trade-related development priorities in the recipient country’s national development strategies.”

2. Global Mapping of Aid for Trade Activities
Mapping bilateral, regional and international AfT programmes
- Institutions involved
- Volumes committed
- Sectors prioritised
- Regional/country groups
7
2. Global Mapping of Aid for Trade Activities
(a) Methodology
Bilateral donors
- DAC reporting and non-DAC reporting
Multilateral agencies
Trust Funds
- ITC, JITAP, Integrated Framework (IF) and WTO

2. Global Mapping of Aid for TradeActivities
(a) Methodology
Analysis based on funding data
Major specialised international organisations(e.g. WTO, UNCTAD)
-> implementing role
9
2. Global Mapping of Aid for TradeActivities
(a) Methodology
Three broad AfT categories:
1. Trade policy and regulations
2. Building productive capacity (including trade development for non-DAC reporting countries and agencies)
3. Trade-related Infrastructure
10
2. Global Mapping of Aid for TradeActivities
(a) Methodology
Data sources:
- OECD/DAC CRS Aid Activity Database
- Joint WTO/OECD Trade Capacity Building Database
Commitments (not disbursements)
2001-2004 annual averages

(b) LimitationsGlobal mapping of AfT activities reported by donors
-> not possible to identify “gaps”
- between needs and supply of A4T
- in terms of sectors covered
Includes activities that are not explicitly trade-related

2. Global Mapping of Aid for TradeActivities
(c) Main results: GlobalTotal global support to AfT averaged 22 % of total official development assistance (ODA) over 2001-2004
Support to “trade policy and regulations” very small (3 % of total AfT)
Around 20 donors in “trade-related infrastructure” and building productive capacity
Four donors dominate in all regions and A4T categories: Japan, IDA, the United States (US) and the European Commission (EC)
16
2. Global Mapping of Aid for TradeActivities
(c) Main results: Trust Funds (TF)
TF account for 0.2 % of the total AfT volume (or 0.4 per cent if trade-related infrastructure is excluded)
Switzerland top donor of all TF in AfT activities
US largest contributor to the WTO trust fund

3. Ways Forward: Monitoring and Evaluation
WTO multilateral process of monitoring and evaluating AfT in 2007
OECD will contribute
Monitoring and evaluation at three levels
25
3. Ways Forward: Monitoring and Evaluation
Three levels:
1. Global review based on WTO/OECD database and OECD/DAC database
2. Self-assessments by donors
3. Results-based evaluations at individual country level, e.g. Tanzania and Zambia
26
3. Ways Forward: Monitoring and Evaluation
Country level:
- Mainstreaming trade into national development strategies is more relevant than ever before
- Appropriate framework or mechanism needed
- The report provides a first attempt to identify “gaps”, duplications and co-ordination challenges in the delivery of AfT
- > Two case studies: Tanzania and Zambia
27
Lessons Learned from Tanzania and Zambia
1. Matching demand for and supply of AfT closely linked to government budget process
2. T + Z have developed own intricate frameworks of institutional arrangements and forums
3. Aid modalities vary significantly across countries and sectors
4. WTO/OECD database and the DTIS of the Integrated Framework show serious information gaps
-> Need to strengthen local ownership and capacity in identifying and reporting AfTactivities at country level
