Au paragraphe 96 '" partenariat pour la croissance le éveloppement" (TD/378), la Conférence, à sa neuviè session, invité le Conseil à examiner chaque anné " plan indicatif à horizon mobile de trois ans pour la coopération technique". 2. sa quarante-quatriè session, en octobre 1997, le Conseil du commerce du éveloppement prié le secrétariat de "soumettre le plan chenille de coopération technique pour la ériode triennale 1998-2000 au Groupe de travail lors de la deuxiè partie de sa trentiè session, en écembre 1997, puis au Conseil à sa premiè éunion directive de 1998, en vue de la rationalisation de ce plan" (écision 444 (XLIV)). 3. sa session de écembre 1997, le Groupe de travail examiné le plan de coopération technique pour la ériode 1998-2000 prié le secrétariat ' incorporer les observations suggestions faites par ses membres, avant de le soumettre au Conseil. Le pré document est donc une version évisé du plan préé au Groupe de travail. 4. Le plan de coopération technique de la CNUCED pour la ériode 1998-2000 se compose de deux parties, dont 'une contient des tableaux écapitulatifs, 'autre des tableaux étaillé. GE.98-50091 () TD//EX(16)/2 page 2 1/ En mars 1997, à sa quatorziè éunion directive, le Conseil pris note du plan pour la ériode 1997-1999. 5. Ce plan matérialise la stratégie de coopération technique de la CNUCED, adopté par le Conseil à sa quinziè éunion directive, en juin 1997 .1 Il pour objet : ) 'informer les éégations, les organisations coopérantes les autres intéressé des activité opérationnelles la CNUCED menées en 1997, des activité qui ont éé approuvées pour 1998 les années suivantes, ainsi des activité proposées par le secrétariat pour la ériode 1998-2000; ) De faciliter les discussions avec des donateurs potentiels pour la mobilisation des ressources extrabudgétaires écessaires à 'écution du plan; ) De servir 'instrument de suivi au secrétariat. 6. 'information est préé comme suit : ) épenses effectives de 1997, au 31 octobre 1997; ) Activité approuvées/en cours pour lesquelles des projets sont écuté conformément aux descriptifs approuvé par ou plusieurs donateurs; ) Activité nouvelles ou proposées. Les propositions épondent à une ou plusieurs des considérations ci-aprè : ) Demande expresse formulé par pays en éveloppement ou en transition accepté par le secrétariat sous éserve de la mobilisation des fonds écessaires; ii) Application 'une écision demandé par la Conférence à sa neuviè session, le Conseil ou une commission; iii) écution du programme de travail écrit dans le texte explicatif du budget-programme de la CNUCED pour 'exercice biennal 1998-1999. 7. 'écution du plan épendant en partie de la mobilisation de ressources additionnelles, les nouvelles propositions ne seront bien entendu pas toutes suivies 'effet. En outre, le plan sera fréquemment évisé en fonction des nouvelles demandes çues des éventuelles modifications apportées aux propositions. . Principales caractéristiques du plan 8. La ématique des projets est conforme aux dispositions '" partenariat pour la croissance le éveloppement", en particulier à celles du paragraphe 97. Les domaines 'activité, qui correspondent aux quatre domaines du programme de travail du secrétariat, sont rappelé juste avant les tableaux étaillé établis pour chaque division. TD//EX(16)/2 page 3 9. Le plan prévoit une expansion des activité de coopération technique de la CNUCED, compte tenu des projets approuvé ou sur le point de 'être. estime qu'en 1997 la valeur de 'assistance technique effectivement fournie avoisiné 24 millions de dollars. Elle devrait augmenter 'environ 10 % en 1998. Les activité sont en progression dans chacun des quatre grands domaines de travail de la CNUCED (voir le tableau écapitulatif 1), autrement dit leur épartition ne change guè. Les activité opérationnelles de la Division de 'infrastructure des services pour le éveloppement de 'efficacité commerciale continuent à se tailler la part du lion. 10. constate une nette éorientation en faveur des pays les moins avancé (tableau écapitulatif 3), conformément à la stratégie de coopération technique adopté par le Conseil du commerce du éveloppement en juin 1997. 'aprè les prévisions, 39 % des projets approuvé 72 % des projets dans la filiè seront écuté dans ces pays. 11. Les données relatives aux pays les moins avancé 'englobent pas toutes les activité qui doivent être menées par la CNUCED comme suite à la écente éunion de haut niveau sur les mesures intégrées en faveur du éveloppement du commerce de ces pays. Les activité chiffrées qui ont fait 'objet de discussions entre la CNUCED certains PMA sont prises en compte, mais elles ne représentent qu'une partie de celles qui devraient être entreprises. 12. Le tableau écapitulatif 2 indique la épartition des épenses par égion, question qui intéresse beaucoup les éégations. Environ 37 % des projets approuvé des projets dans la filiè seront écuté en Afrique, 19 % dans la égion de 'Asie du Pacifique, 5 % en érique latine dans les Caraïbes 13 % dans les pays en transition 'Europe centrale orientale. Des discussions sont en cours avec des pays latino-éricains caraïbes pour trouver de nouvelles sources 'appui aux activité de coopération technique de la CNUCED dans la égion, activité qui devraient augmenter. 13. Les activité indiquées dans la colonne "1998-2000 - Proposé" épondent aux considérations exposées haut au paragraphe 5. Leur û total est estimé à environ 114 millions de dollars. Ces propositions 'aboutiront pas toutes, vu nombre de projets doivent encore être mis au point approuvé ' commun accord par le ééficiaire, le donateur le secrétariat de la CNUCED. Les montants prévus pour les projets qui se concrétiseront ne seront pas forcément épensé entièrement pendant la ériode 1998-2000, car le taux 'écution de chaque projet épendra de la date de sa mise en route. 14. Le programme PNUD/CNUCED intitulé "Mondialisation, libéralisation éveloppement humain durable", approuvé écemment, ne figure pas dans les tableaux étaillé. Il pour objet 'aider les pays à faible revenu à mettre les avantages offerts par la mondialisation au service ' éveloppement humain durable. Les ressources versées par le PNUD se chiffreront à 2,5 millions de dollars environ pour la ériode triennale de 1998-2000. Ce programme sera rattaché au Cabinet du Secrétaire ééral adjoint de la CNUCED tous les secteurs du secrétariat coopéreront étroitement à son écution. TD//EX(16)/2 page 4 II. Explication des tableaux écapitulatifs des tableaux étaillé 15. La colonne "épenses de 1997" ("1997 expenditures") indique les épenses de 1997 au 31 octobre. La colonne suivante, "1998-2000", est divisé en trois parties : "Approuvé" ("Approved"), "Dans la filiè" ("Pipeline") "Proposé" ("Proposed"). Les montants figurant dans la colonne "Approuvé" correspondent aux projets approuvé qui seront écuté pendant la ériode 1998-2000. Les chiffres de la colonne "dans la filiè" représentent le budget de projets qui ont éé soumis à des donateurs qui sont en passe 'être approuvé. Enfin, les chiffres de la colonne "Proposé" sont des estimations des épenses qui pourraient être faites si des fonds devenaient disponibles. Les sommes indiquées ne comprennent en aucun cas les épenses 'appui. 16. Comme 'écution 'une partie du plan épend de la mobilisation de ressources supplémentaires, il va sans dire les nouvelles propositions ne pourront pas toutes être mises en oeuvre. 17. Il trois tableaux écapitulatifs : le tableau 1, qui présente les données par division; le tableau 2, qui présente les êmes données par égion; le tableau 3, qui indique les activité en faveur des pays les moins avancé. 18. Les tableaux étaillé présentent les projets ou groupes de projets (par exemple, le SYDONIA) par division par service ou section au sein de chaque division. 19. La cote du projet le nom des donateurs ne sont indiqué pour les projets approuvé. Lorsqu'une continuation des êmes activité est proposé, les cotes peuvent être différentes. 20. Les projets dont le titre est indiqué en caractères gras en italique figuraient éà dans le plan préédent. Ceux qui sont mentionné en gras en petites capitales apparaissent dans le plan pour la premiè fois. Lorsqu'ils 'ont pas encore éé approuvé, ils sont prééé de la mention "proposed project". 21. Les pays ééficiaires mentionné nommément ont demandé expressément au secrétariat 'entreprendre les activité de coopération technique écrites dans le plan. 22. la trentiè session du Groupe de travail du plan à moyen terme du budget-programme, en écembre 1997, des membres de cet organe ont fait des suggestions pour éliorer la présentation des données contenues dans le plan. Il éé tenu compte de la plupart 'entre elles dans le plan évisé soumis au Conseil. 'autres suggestions seront suivies pour 'élaboration du prochain plan triennal (1999-2001), qui sera dressé par le secrétariat à la fin de 1998. / / ( 1 6 ) / 2 5 Tableau 1 Coopération technique de la CNUCED Par division/programme (En milliers de dollars .-.)
