Doha Round Briefing Series - Issue 12 of 13 - Technical Assistance and Capacity-building
The twelfth of a series prepared by the International Institute for Sustainable Development and the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development. Technical assistance (TA) and capacity-building (CB) are among the key foundations on which consensual support for the Doha mandate rests. It was the oil that smoothed the way towards developing countries' acceptance of a broad-based new round of talks including, for the first time, issues such as the environment and — at least potentially — investment, competition policy, transparency in government procurement and trade facilitation.
