I. INTRODUCTION

The ITC is pleased to submit to the CCITF the following report of activities. This report provides critical information, principally in the form of self-explanatory tables which give an overview of the organization’s activities.

The present report covers the period between 1 January and 31 December 2012. It focuses on the analysis of ITC’s extrabudgetary resources, providing a detailed description of the source of funds, their status, and use. It also provides an update on programme support and regular budget resources. Finally, the report describes the project outputs and outcomes as at 31 December 2012.

In 2012 ITC made substantial progress in embedding the coherent results framework that links project results to corporate objectives. The organization’s investment in the development of an RBM data entry tool and dashboard has facilitated streamlined reporting at corporate level. Page 9 of this report presents ITC’s consolidated results against corporate outcome and output targets. The report also includes a more detailed description of the outcomes and outputs achieved for each project in Annex I.

ITC’s work is enabled by three sources of funding: the Regular Budget (RB), Programme Support Costs (PSC) and extrabudgetary funding (XB). XB funds are activated through the ITC Trust Fund (ITF).

The ITF consists of two categories of funds known as “windows”. Window I consists of unearmarked and soft-earmarked contributions from donors while Window II consists of bilateral contributions for specific projects or programmes as well as income earned through Revolving Funds.

Around $22 million (gross) of Window I funds were allocated to projects and programmes during the 2012 operational planning process, of which $17.4 million was expended during the year.

2012 Window I expenditure split by soft-earmarked and un-earmarked

As described in the Window I Guidelines (annex II), the purpose of Window I is to finance innovative TRTA services in the broad sense. In 2012 Window I contributions enabled a range of technical assistance projects and programmes in developing countries (including large programmes), as well as innovations in ITC to ensure effective delivery.

Results against corporate objectives

The period January to December 2012 represents the first half of the 2012-13 biennium. Project managers have tracked their achievements against the corporate outcome indicators using the integrated RBM data entry tool.

Initial analysis indicates that ITC has reached the 50% benchmark for four of the eight outcome targets for the biennium. In addition, the implementation rate of ITC outputs is 52% with 47% in progress and 1% not started. Therefore the organization is so far largely on track to deliver its planned outputs and achieve its planned outcomes in partnership with beneficiaries.

ANNEX II: WINDOW I GUIDELINES

Introduction The purpose of this paper is to clearly demarcate the Window I component of the ITC Trust Fund (ITF) and to set out clear guidelines for the use of window funds.

Background ITC’s work is enabled by three sources of funding: the regular budget (RB), Programme Support Costs (PSC) and extrabudgetary funding (XB). The regular budget is approved on a biennium basis by the UN General Assembly and the WTO General Council. PSC is earned via a charge to XB expenditure and the budget is approved on a yearly basis.

XB funds are activated through the ITF. The ITF consists of two categories of funds known as “windows”. Window I consists of unearmarked and soft-earmarked contributions from donors while Window II consists of bilateral contributions for specific projects or programmes as well as income earned through Revolving Funds. Further details can be found in the ITF terms of reference.

In 2011 ITC has embarked on further analysis of the delivery enabled from the two windows. The analysis has demonstrated that Window II projects are primarily for direct trade-related technical assistance (TRTA) in mature fields where ITC has proven expertise. Window I, on the other hand, focuses on investment in innovation: the development of new tools, research and development of new products and programmes and improvements in efficiency in the way ITC delivers, in order for the organization to remain at the cutting edge of TRTA.

ITC remains focused on achieving a greater proportion of unearmarked, multiyear contributions to the ITF. These guidelines represent a step toward this goal.

Principles of Window I The purpose of Window I funds is to support expenditures contributing to “preparing the future” of ITC and to finance initiatives which are critical to ITC’s corporate interests and performance in pursuit of export impact for good. This includes activities that do not fit the Window II portfolio of traditional TRTA activities. In a nutshell, the purpose of Window I is to finance innovative TRTA services in the broader sense.

Components of Window I Window I funds can be broken down under the following main categories.

Component A: Corporate innovation, research and development (unearmarked funds)

Component A of Window I is used to finance initiatives that are focused on raising the overall efficiency of ITC in delivering TRTA and ensuring that ITC remains at the cutting edge of TRTA.

This component is of particular importance for the effectiveness of ITC’s overall programme, as it permits the organization to respond directly and rapidly to the priority needs of recipients in ITC programme countries in line with the Paris Principles on aid effectiveness and Accra Accord and to complement programmes financed from the regular budget and bilateral sources.

In particular, these funds are used for the following types of products, services and initiatives.

A1 Global public goods

Global public goods are products and services that ITC has identified as tools to reduce information asymmetries which limit the scope of developing countries to take advantage of export opportunities. These products and services are delivered freely to the maximum number of users to ensure positive impact. Examples of global public goods include: market intelligence tools, communication events and publications. The future TSI benchmarking tool will be a public good once it is developed.

A2 Innovation for corporate efficiency

In order for ITC to remain at the cutting edge of TRTA, it is necessary to continually invest in improving the efficiency of the organization to deliver. Investment in corporate efficiency may include:

Improving information and communication systems and services; Innovation in the efficiency of processes in order to reduce transaction costs. This includes

corporate initiatives to enhance results-based management and IPSAS implementation; Continual learning: Evaluation is an important component of overall project cycle management to

ensure learning and innovation. Therefore, evaluation activities, where not part of the budget of a particular project, is covered by Window I.

A3 Innovation for the development or maintenance of products and services

Research and development are essential to remain relevant to beneficiary country clients. Window I enables ITC to develop and maintain new products, services and initiatives in innovative areas within the field of TRTA. Once these products have been developed to a relative state of maturity, they may be able to attract specific bilateral funding through Window II.

Examples of innovation for the development or maintenance of products and services include:

Research and development of tools and focus areas of TRTA such as trade in services, TSI benchmarking private standards and creative industries, etc.

Seed funding through the Project Development Fund, allowing for the further development of project ideas into feasible project concepts and project plans. This includes facilitation of project design through the EIF

Financing core staff:3 Maintaining essential expertise on hand enables ITC to rapidly respond to client needs.

Component B: Soft-earmarked funds for innovative services and projects

Decisions pertaining to component B of Window I are pre-constrained by donor indications of particular targets and areas of focus. These have generally, though not exclusively, related to achieving MDG goals.

This component of Window I funding is therefore primarily used to support initiatives that include an innovation element in ITC’s approach to TRTA. A non-exhaustive list of examples can be found below:

Mainstreaming a new policy angle within TRTA: examples of Gender, Climate, Poor Communities Developing a pilot project helping to achieve a demonstrative and duplicable effect: this could

develop the product of an RD initiative into full implementation Developing a new partnership Ensuring private sector participation in developing countries’ accession to the WTO Leveraging donor funds

Characteristics of Window I funds for innovative projects and services Funding requests are approved for specific, time-bound initiatives that meet the criteria described above. Funds are sometimes disbursed with the aim of positioning the products of innovation for eventual Window II funding. Re-phasing to the next financial year should be minimized and is dependent upon the endorsement of the Operations Committee (Ops Com).

Window I is dependent on corporate objectives. Interdivisional consultation, particularly for programme and tool development proposals, is strongly encouraged, and mandatory for projects to which several sections will be providing inputs. Evidence of interdivisional consultations should be attached to the proposal. In exceptional circumstances, based on an ad hoc Ops Com recommendation, SMC may authorize flexible biennial funding of cores staff expenses considered indispensable to maintaining key capacities or expertise within ITC. In such cases the resources affected by anticipation will be deducted from the following year’s resources granted to the concerned division.

3 Core staff refers to experts with skills that are critical and essential for ITC to carry out its mandate. A list of core staff posts is agreed and signed-off by SMC. Core staff are issued with 12 month contracts to ensure in-house expertise. These contracts may be partially funded by Window II projects. This list is reviewed annually in light of changes in the TRTA environment and client needs. Contracts are renewed/ended accordingly.

The scope and scale of donor contributions determines the size of Window I. In principle, Window I allocations for any given year to projects cannot exceed total donor contributions to Window I for that year. In addition, all soft-earmarking made by donors must be adhered to.

• All requests for Window I funding must demonstrate compliance with ITC’s mandate and strategic objectives; and:

• Focus on the needs of beneficiary country clients; or: • Innovation in the organization or delivery of TRTA

Procedures for submission of requests Requests for Window I funding must be prepared using the standard ITC template available on the project design page of the ITC project portal. Consultations should be held with project officers in other Divisions to ensure full interdivisional synergy and validation of the content and approach. After signature by the Director of the originating Division, the request must be submitted to Ops Com, prior to submission to SMC for approval.

• All requests must be reviewed and endorsed by Ops Com and approved by SMC.

• In principle, requests can be submitted at any time during the year. However, in order to ensure optimal annual operational planning, submission of Window I funding requests should be made as early as possible.

Monitoring and reporting All information related to monitoring and reporting is centralized in the Project Portal. Managing officers of approved Window I requests are directly responsible for ensuring that the information included in the Project Portal is accurate and up to date in relation to reporting on activities, outputs and outcomes. This information provides the basis for reporting, internally to SMC, and, externally, to the Consultative Committee on the ITF and the Joint Advisory Group (JAG). Project managers must ensure that the following are completed:

Monthly delivery remarks identifying activities completed, outputs delivered and outcomes achieved (if any), as well as challenges to delivery;

Planned outputs and outcomes must be inserted at the beginning of each year;

Actual outputs and outcomes must be inserted at the end of each other;

Project termination reports must be uploaded to the documents section of the portal;

The quarterly monitoring system (QMR) must be updated at the beginning of each year and at the end of each quarter to ensure accurate planning.
