Tracking SPS aid flows

Sharing information on past, present and planned technical cooperation activities are central to the work of the STDF. The STDF Secretariat seeks to identify as accurately and completely as possible SPS-related technical assistance flows. Its point of departure is the data reported on trade-related technical assistance and capacity building projects to the WTO/OECD Trade Capacity Building Database (TCBDB).

The TCBDB has been established by the WTO jointly with the OECD to provide information on trade-related technical assistance and capacity building projects. It covers national as well as regional projects. At present, the period of coverage is 2001 to 2006 and beyond. Data is reported from bilateral donors and multilateral/regional Agencies.

In addition to the quantitative reporting on SPS activities, the STDF Secretariat will also collect qualitative information from partners and donors - for example training materials, national or regional SPS action plans and experiences in the implementation of projects from both donors and beneficiaries.
