Trade-related Capacity DevelopmentTrade-related Capacity DevelopmentOECD/DAC GuidelinesOECD/DAC Guidelines
OECD/DAC “Guidelines on Strengthening Trade Capacity for Development”
Trade Capacity Building enhances the ability of policymakers, enterprises and civil society in developing countries to:
Collaborate in formulating and implementing a trade development strategy embedded in a broader national development strategy;
Increase the volume and value-added of exports, diversify export products and markets and increase foreign investment to generate jobs and exports;
Participate in – and benefit from – the institutions, negotiations and processes that shape national trade policy and the rules and practices of international commerce.

Trade-related Capacity DevelopmentTrade-related Capacity DevelopmentOECD/DAC GuidelinesOECD/DAC Guidelines
The Guidelines suggest that donors and developing countries should seek to construct trade policy frameworks with the following elements:
Coherent trade strategy overall development strategy
Effective mechanisms for consultation
Effective mechanisms for intra-governmental policy co-ordination A strategy for the enhanced collection, dissemination, and analysis of
trade-related information
Trade policy networks
Private sector linkages
A commitment to outward-oriented regional and global strategies

Suggestions to Donors:
Co-ordinate more closely TCB activities are comprehensive
in scope and integrated in execution Foster local ownership and participation Embrace approaches that strengthen the ability of
partner countries to continue helping themselves once donors have left
Strengthen donors' own trade-related capacities Commit significant financial and personnel resources

EC approach to Capacity DevelopmentEC approach to Capacity Development- Focus on products and services -- Focus on products and services -
Look at the outputs of the organisation: products and services
Capacity development must result in specific changes in output

EC approach to Capacity DevelopmentEC approach to Capacity Development- Explore the context, the inputs – and then go inside -- Explore the context, the inputs – and then go inside -
Before looking inside the organisation, explore structural and institutional drivers of and constraints to change in the context
Look for stakeholders – they make and break change!
Consider the Inputs and resources
Then, finally, look at the rest of the “inside” elements

EC approach to Capacity DevelopmentEC approach to Capacity Development- Dig deeper to get a solid diagnosis -- Dig deeper to get a solid diagnosis -
Look for both formal and informal aspects of organisations
Look for both the “functional-rational” dimension and the “political” dimensions of organisations

EC approach to Capacity DevelopmentEC approach to Capacity Development- Change and CD are mostly domestic processes -- Change and CD are mostly domestic processes -
External factors are often powerful drivers of capacity change – but committed insiders must lead
A change strategy is required

EC approach to Capacity DevelopmentEC approach to Capacity Development- Roles of and instruments for donors -- Roles of and instruments for donors -
Make sure that the partner can and will lead!
Assist the partner to define realistic CD targets in terms of changes in organisational outputs
Donors can play a catalytic role, engage to build up demand for change, provide access to knowledge, pilot different approaches, facilitate dialogue between domestic stakeholders

TCD should build upon and foster the process

What delivery mechanisms can be used to boost effectiveness of programmes supporting TCD?

The way forwardThe way forwardHow can we enhance TCD effectiveness?How can we enhance TCD effectiveness?
Need to improve donor-donor coordination donor-recipient coordination
Fora for discussion and coordination
Shared analysis / joint diagnostic reviews
Use existing Government’s structures to channel TRA and provide support to strengthen them
Use common arrangements and procedures: programmatic approaches to be supported through basket funding
