TRTA: TRADE-RELATED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

Technical Assistance Management Committee (TAMC)

The Technical Assistance Management Committee, representing all WTO Divisions, mainly serves as a mechanism for coordination and monitoring of all trade-related technical assistance provided by the Secretariat.

The responsibilities of the Management Committee include:

1. Oversight of issues of general interest relating to trade-related technical assistance (strategy, modes of delivery, management, follow-up, relationships with beneficiaries and donors).
     
2. Organization of specific activities (agenda, review of spending priorities, timing, human and financial resources, coordination with other agencies)
     
3. Reporting to the Director-General periodically and making policy recommendations for the Director-General's consideration.

The Committee meets on a regular basis, usually every sixth week. It is chaired by the Deputy Director-General in charge of TRTA, and serviced by the Institute for Training and Technical Cooperation.
