Twenty-one
representatives of least-developed countries (LDCs) are attending this
course, which is organized in French with the valuable cooperation of
the International Trade Centre (ITC).
This
year, for the first time ever, this kind of three-week-long course is
funded by the WTO regular budget as part of the ongoing endeavour
since the Doha Ministerial Conference to provide capacity building for
developing countries, in particular LDCs. Capacity building is one of
the priorities of the new WTO Director-General, Dr. Supachai
Panitchpakdi.
A
three-week course will not transform participants into experts in all
WTO matters. Its objective is to give a sufficiently broad overview
that will promote a better understanding of the interaction between
the various aspects covered by the framework of WTO activities.
Another
objective is to help participants to learn more about the workings of
the Organization, by turning the spotlight on current negotiations.
In
view of the fact that all of the participants are from LDCs,
particular attention will be paid during the last week of training to
trade- and development-related issues as well as technical cooperation
activities. In line with this, the WTO Training Institute has
benefited from the active participation of representatives of the ITC,
UNCTAD and WIPO, which will take part in a forum designed to intensify
contacts between the participants and these Organizations, all of
which are active in fields related to those dealt with by the WTO.
Concurrent
with the Introduction Course to the WTO and also under the auspices of
the WTO Training Institute, 58 representatives from developing
countries and transition economies are attending two trade policy
courses which draw to a close at the beginning of December.
